Cisco & AppOmni secure SaaS AI agents: new protections. 4h ago · 0:00 listen · Source: Cisco Blogs Summary. Cisco AI Defense and AppOmni are integrating to provide new security for AI agents in SaaS platforms. This means organizations can now protect AI agents running in services like Microsoft 365 Copilot and ServiceNow Now Assist. Here's how it works: AppOmni AgentGuard monitors AI agent interactions within SaaS environments. It then sends these interactions to the AppOmni cloud analysis engine, which calls Cisco AI Defense for guardrail evaluation. AI Defense applies configured policies and determines whether to allow, block, or terminate the interaction. This system offers real-time protection against various attacks, including prompt injection, data exfiltration, and harmful content. These protections are enforced before the SaaS agent can act and are updated by Cisco's AI security research team. Security teams can also define custom guardrails to address specific threats relevant to their agents, industries, and use cases. This integration provides a uniform security policy across all AI agents, whether internally built or running in SaaS. This aims to ensure SaaS AI agents are no longer a security exception.

San Mateo, CA (October 30, 2025) - AppOmni, the leader in SaaS security, today announced Frost & Sullivan named it a Growth and Innovation leader in the Frost Radar SaaS Security Posture Management, 2025, marking the second consecutive year receiving this distinction. Further solidifying its market dominance, AppOmni has also been honored with Frost & Sullivan's prestigious Best Practices Technology Innovation Leadership Recognition in the global SaaS security posture management industry. These accolades underscore AppOmni's pioneering innovation in securing business-critical SaaS applications and the customer value that the platform delivers. "AppOmni is shaping the future of SaaS Security Posture Management by addressing new challenges and opportunities for organizations with a commitment to innovation and creativity," said David Frigstad, Chairman, Frost & Sullivan. The Frost Radar: SaaS Security Posture Management, 2025, identifies companies that spark action and fuel growth pipelines, positioning AppOmni at the forefront of the market. It highlights that AppOmni sets the market's pace by extending Zero Trust principles to SaaS environments and uniting several capabilities for enhanced SaaS protection. The advanced platform combines shadow IT discovery, identity threat detection and response (ITDR), machine learning insights, an AI SSPM assistant, AskOmni, and an agentic AI architecture. AppOmni is the first and only SaaS security company granted Federal Risk and Authorization Management Program (FedRAMP) Moderate Authorization to Operate (ATO), further boosting its credibility and showcasing a dedication to some of the most stringent cybersecurity standards across the board. "AppOmni is a Frost Radar leader, thanks to its strong market presence, consistent growth performance and a clear SaaS security innovation strategy," noted Ying Ting Neoh, Industry Analyst at Frost & Sullivan. "AppOmni's strength lies in its in-depth posture checks, deep application-level context, and ability to prioritize risks based on business impact. Backed by its prolific AppOmni Labs threat research team, the platform integrates with advanced threat detection and real-time threat intelligence, providing actionable insights for emerging security threats and creating integrated SecOps." AppOmni Earns Best Practices Technology Innovation Leadership Award Additionally, Frost & Sullivan awarded AppOmni with its Best Practices Technology Innovation Leadership Recognition in the global SaaS Security Posture Management industry. This award recognizes organizations that exemplify visionary innovation, market-leading performance, and unmatched customer care. This community represents the top 1% of the global economy. Honorees pioneer innovation, drive transformation, implement at best-practice levels, and are exposed to world-class investors, leaders, and partners. Frost & Sullivan applauds AppOmni for its depth of offerings and capacity to meet evolving security needs across diverse customer segments and verticals. "Unlike SSPM vendors that have yet to offer an end-to-end SaaS security approach, AppOmni combines posture checks with all stages of security operations coverage, setting it apart in the market," stated Ying Ting Neoh. "AppOmni's seamless interoperability with leading SIEM, SOAR, EDR, and XDR technologies helps security teams leverage SSPM insights within unified SecOps workflows. This capability is especially valuable since many SSPM offerings lack such interoperability, limiting contextual insights and real-time incident handling. AppOmni consistently delivers cutting-edge SSPM solutions, and its proactive enhancements have positioned the company as a technology innovation leader in the SSPM market." Neoh continued: "To date, AppOmni has secured more than 372 million exposed data records and continues to serve Fortune 100 customers. Frost & Sullivan recognizes its customer service and ability to incorporate customer-centric designs into its business strategy and offerings, allowing organizations to accelerate SaaS security initiatives with less friction, faster ramp-up, and greater confidence. AppOmni has established a solid brand reputation in the global SSPM market and is the standout choice for organizations seeking a reliable and agile security platform." "It's an honor to be named a leader in SaaS security by Frost & Sullivan for the second year in a row," said Brian Soby, co-founder and CTO of AppOmni. "Ever since we created the SSPM category in 2018, we've continued to redefine what's possible in SaaS security and push the limits of innovation, setting new standards that keep organizations ahead of tomorrow's threats, while empowering them to move faster, safer, and smarter."
