Airia gives organizations the visibility and real-time controls to make smarter decisions about AI spending, without limiting their choice of models or provider As enterprises deploy more AI models and autonomous agents, unpredictable token consumption, variable model pricing, and increasingly complex workflows make costs harder to manage. Airia addresses these challenges by combining intelligent model routing, real-time cost visibility, and budget controls with enterprise AI security and governance. "As enterprises scale AI, controlling costs is becoming just as important as managing performance and security," said Kevin Kiley, CEO of Airia. "We're giving organizations the visibility and real-time controls to make smarter decisions about AI spending, without limiting their choice of models or providers." Proactive AI Cost Management Airia helps enterprises move beyond retrospective cost reporting by providing greater visibility and control over AI spending as workloads execute. Its AI FinOps capabilities include: * Intelligent model routing: Matches AI requests to appropriate models based on task complexity, performance, sensitivity and cost, ensuring the right model is used for each task. * Granular budget controls: Manages AI spending at the organization, group, user or even project or use case. * Cost visibility and attribution: Tracks AI consumption in real time across providers, models, teams, individuals and use cases to improve financial accountability. * Runtime governance: Active enforcement of policies and financial controls during AI execution. * Multi-model oversight: Enables cost management across AI environments without dependence on a single model provider or vendor. Airia integrates these capabilities with AI discovery, security, and governance, giving enterprises a unified view of their AI operations. Organizations can identify AI assets, monitor consumption, and enforce policies across models, applications, and agents from a single platform. As AI adoption expands, Airia continues to develop capabilities that help enterprises manage spending, maintain operational control, and scale AI deployments efficiently.

Airia makes real-time policy enforcement for Claude generally available. * 1 hr ago ATLANTA, Sept. 29, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) - Airia, the enterprise AI platform for discovering, securing, governing and optimizing AI at scale, today announced general availability of its support for Claude inference hooks, enabling real-time security and compliance policy enforcement across Claude Enterprise. First released to early access customers in August, Airia's support for inference hooks allows enterprises to enforce policies inline across Claude chat, Claude Code and Claude Cowork through a single organization-level configuration. When a user submits a prompt or Claude receives a result from a connected tool, MCP server, skill or plugin, Airia evaluates the content against organizational policies before Claude processes it and returns an allow or deny decision in real time. Requests that violate policy can be blocked before reaching Claude. "AI governance has to operate at the speed and scale of the technology it governs," said Kevin Kiley, CEO of Airia. "We were early to support Claude's Compliance API and moved quickly to bring inference hooks to customers. Now, organizations can enforce their policies inline across Claude Enterprise before a violation occurs. That is what active governance requires." Airia has also expanded its support as Claude's Compliance API reaches more enterprise surfaces. Compliance API support now extends to Claude Cowork, Claude Code, Claude for Microsoft 365 add-ins and Claude Science, with expanded capabilities in beta for Claude Enterprise customers where applicable. Through the integration, Airia brings supported Claude Enterprise activity into a unified governance environment alongside other AI models and agents. Teams can analyze activity against organizational policies to identify sensitive data exposure, prompt injection attempts, risky agent and tool behavior and acceptable use violations. Airia can also trigger automated runbooks, including security alerts, tickets and escalations for review. Combined with inference hooks, Airia provides governance from retrospective detection and investigation to real-time prevention. About Airia Airia is the enterprise AI platform for discovering, securing, governing and optimizing AI at scale, giving security, compliance and IT teams full visibility and control over every agent, model and workflow. Airia was named a Visionary in the 2026 Gartner(R) Magic Quadrant(TM) for AI Governance Platforms and is trusted by more than 500 enterprises. Learn more at airia.com. Media Contact McKenzie Semrau
