The cybersecurity landscape saw significant innovation this February, with major players introducing products focused on AI security, identity governance, and proactive resilience. From tools that distinguish trusted AI from malicious bots to platforms enabling continuous penetration testing, the releases highlight a strategic shift towards integrated, intelligent, and automated defense systems. These advancements aim to help organizations navigate complex threats while maintaining compliance and operational continuity.
Gremlin has introduced a Disaster Recovery Testing product, designed to safely simulate large-scale evacuations and failovers across cloud zones, regions, and data centers. This allows businesses to validate their resilience during cloud migrations or catastrophic events, ensuring critical operations can continue without interruption.
Addressing the rise of automated traffic, Fingerprint launched its Authorized AI Agent Detection ecosystem. This system integrates with platforms from OpenAI to AWS AgentCore, providing enterprises with a method to identify permissioned AI agent traffic with complete certainty. The goal is to separate legitimate automation from harmful bots and data scrapers, securing digital channels.
For public sector challenges, Socure released Socure for Government (SocureGov) RiskOS. This platform aims to streamline digital identity verification and fraud prevention at a governmental scale, offering faster and more transparent processes for program integrity.
Avast has expanded its scam protection suite internationally. The rollout includes Avast Scam Guardian for mobile devices and the new Avast Deepfake Guard for Windows PCs. This AI-powered feature proactively scans video content for malicious audio manipulation, extending protection across text, calls, and video platforms to guard against sophisticated scams.
Application security receives a unified approach with Armis Centrix for Application Security. This AI-driven platform integrates security throughout the entire software development lifecycle (SDLC), helping teams treat code as a critical attack vector and strengthen organizational defenses from the ground up.
Focusing on identity risk, SpecterOps announced BloodHound Scentry. This service combines the BloodHound Enterprise platform with expert guidance to help customers accelerate attack path management (APM). It provides tailored remediation strategies, advanced threat analysis, and designs for privilege zones to protect vital assets.
Portnox has broadened its zero trust network access (ZTNA) capabilities by introducing passwordless access for protocols like RDP and SSH, as well as enterprise console applications. This move extends secure, credential-free access beyond standard web apps.
The Black Duck Polaris Platform now features enhanced integrations across all major source code management systems, including GitHub and GitLab. This unified, automated platform leverages static, dynamic, and software composition analysis to provide comprehensive application security.
Impart Security is tackling AI-powered bots with its new Programmable Bot Protection. This runtime approach embeds both detection and enforcement directly within an application, allowing security teams to preview potential blocks before activating them for safe, in-app defense.
Compliance Scorecard v10 introduces a governed AI framework for managed service providers. The platform uses AI within a structured system of validated context and controls to support explainable, audit-ready compliance decisions, treating artificial intelligence as a governed decision-support tool rather than a simple chatbot.
Virtana has expanded its Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server to deliver full-stack enterprise visibility directly to AI agents and large language models. This enables machines to comprehend operations as interconnected systems, not just isolated data points.
Governance for AI agents is the focus for Redpanda’s latest Agentic Data Plane (ADP) capabilities. New features include a centralized AI gateway, observability via OpenTelemetry, and unified authentication. Together, they create a governance layer that lets enterprises securely connect AI agents to live data with full visibility and control.
Aikido Security unveiled Aikido Infinite, a continuous AI penetration testing solution. It autonomously validates software changes for vulnerabilities as they are deployed, confirms exploitability, and initiates remediation within the same workflow to reduce risk with every release.
Finally, Veza expanded its platform with Veza Access Agents, purpose-built AI agents that automate complex identity and access governance tasks. The company also advanced its AI Agent Security product, giving organizations deeper visibility into risks associated with third-party AI agents, LLMs, and related infrastructure.
