On April 22, SandboxAQ announced the general availability of AQtive Guard, a groundbreaking platform designed to manage and secure Non-Human Identities (NHIs) and other cryptographic assets used by AI agents – both friendly and malevolent – that are surging across enterprise environments.
As billions of AI agents flood enterprise ecosystems, organizations are facing an unprecedented surge of intelligent, adaptive cyber threats capable of continuously probing networks, evading detection, and rapidly exploiting vulnerabilities. This escalating threat demands proactive, AI-driven cryptographic defenses to counteract attacks that evolve faster than traditional security measures can respond.
AQtive Guard’s Discover module enables organizations to maintain an accurate inventory and control over both NHIs and cryptographic assets such as keys, certificates, algorithms, and libraries, and is crucial for compliance and meeting regulatory mandates. AQtive Guard’s Protect orchestrates automated remediation workflows and enforces protection policies such as credential rotation or certificate renewal.
Leveraging its industry-leading Large Quantitative Models (LQMs), AQtive Guard’s Discover and Protect modules provide organizations with unprecedented visibility, control and remediation, addressing the escalating challenges of machine-to-machine communication security, compliance pressures, and the transition to the new NIST security standards.
“There will be more than one billion AI agents with significant autonomous power in the next few years,” stated Jack Hidary, CEO of SandboxAQ. “Enterprises are giving AI agents a vastly increased range of capabilities to impact customers and real-world assets. This creates a dangerous attack surface for adversaries. AQtive Guard’s Discover and Protect modules address this urgent issue.”
“As organizations accelerate AI adoption and the use of agents and machine-to-machine communication across all business domains and functions, maintaining a real-time, accurate inventory of NHIs and cryptographic assets is an essential cybersecurity practice. Being able to automatically remediate vulnerabilities and policy violations identified is crucial to decrease time to mitigation and prevent potential breaches within the first day of use of our software,” said Marc Manzano, general manager of cybersecurity at SandboxAQ.
