An Intellyx RSAC 2025 Update Brief
AccuKnox was at RSAC presenting a new layer of runtime AI security monitoring, remediation, governance and software supply chain features to the buffet of its wide-ranging CNAPP (cloud native application protection platform) it calls “AI-Security 2.0.”
With AI changing the attack surface faster than ever, human security teams are constrained to catch up. While this vendor uses AI for a variety of AI security automatoin tasks such as pentesting AI-coded infrastructure code, monitoring and enforcing zero-trust policies for agents and APIs, launching SAST/DAST tests, or recommending fixes and patches, the real value here is integrating just the platform elements the SOC needs to conduct assisted workflows with their existing solutions.
Since our last coverage in 2025, that flexibility has enabled this vendor to sell into some larger existing organizations that already have a mix of new and existing security platforms and tools, enable MSPs who want to white-label their own bespoke security platform experience for clients, and help regulated organizations that want to get their arms around AI compliance within their own secure domains.
“With AI, we are moving even faster toward an API-first world, it’s not just an additional bolt-on for your security platform,” said Nat Natraj, CEO of AccuKnox from their expo booth. “Static security is the easy part, but runtime security is hard. You need to know your API attack surface to understand your AI security posture, and then secure workloads and zero-trust policies at runtime.”
