SAFE launches AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) to enable enterprises to deploy AI at scale with confidence.

SAFE launches AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) to enable enterprises to deploy AI at scale with confidence. PALO ALTO, Calif., May 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - SAFE, the leader in autonomous cyber risk management, today announced the launch of SAFE AI Security Posture Management (SAFE AI-SPM), a new capability designed to help enterprises securely adopt and scale the use of AI. As enterprises rapidly deploy AI platforms such as ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, and Copilot, they are increasingly exposing sensitive enterprise data to AI systems - while struggling to maintain continuous visibility into the evolving cyber risks these platforms introduce. At the same time, many AI-SPM, AI governance, and AI security solutions remain fragmented - with some focused primarily on policy management, others on prompt inspection, AI application discovery, red teaming, or compliance workflows. As a result, organizations often lack a unified operational view that continuously correlates AI activity, configuration risk, external exposure, security posture, and business impact in real time. SAFE AI-SPM was purpose-built to address this emerging category of enterprise cyber risk. The platform provides security and risk teams with continuous visibility and control across the AI ecosystem. SAFE AI-SPM continuously assesses and monitors AI exposure across five core dimensions: live activity, configuration, outside-in exposure, compliance evidence, and contracts, without requiring complex inline deployments or lengthy implementation cycles, enabling rapid time-to-value. "AI is fundamentally reshaping how enterprises operate," said Saket Modi, Co-Founder & CEO of SAFE. "Organizations are now deploying AI tools deeply across workflows, operations, and employee productivity, often faster than security and governance teams can keep up. Most AI-SPM solutions provide only fragmented visibility into isolated parts of the problem. SAFE AI-SPM gives enterprises continuous visibility, AI-native risk intelligence, and autonomous workflows - all within minutes of setup - enabling organizations to scale AI adoption faster and with greater confidence." At the core of the platform is SAFE's Real-Time AI Risk Graph, which continuously correlates risk signals across AI vendor contracts, assessments, configurations, external exposure, and live activity. This provides security and risk teams with a business-aware understanding of AI exposure and helps prioritize remediation based on business impact. SAFE AI-SPM also leverages SAFE's Agentic Workflow Engine, powered by more than 100 AI agents, to automate AI security posture management at scale. Security teams can continuously monitor AI risk, investigate findings, trigger governance workflows, escalate policy violations, and operationalize AI security and governance without adding manual overhead. Designed for rapid deployment, SAFE AI-SPM enables organizations to rapidly gain visibility into AI usage across the enterprise, identify emerging AI-related risk exposure, and operationalize continuous AI governance - without relying on lengthy implementation cycles, complex infrastructure changes, or large-scale program expansion. "AI is moving faster than any technology transition we've seen before, and enterprise risk is evolving just as quickly," said John Chambers, Founder and CEO of JC2 Ventures and former Chairman and CEO of Cisco. "The companies that lead in AI will be the ones that move fast while maintaining trust, visibility, and control. With AI Security Posture Management, SAFE is helping organizations address one of the most important board-level issues in the AI era: understanding and managing AI-related cyber risk at scale." "AI tools are becoming deeply embedded in enterprise workflows, but traditional vendor risk processes were not built for this level of speed, access, and change," said Michael Johnson, former CIO and CISO US Department of Energy, Capital One, and Meta Financial Technologies. "Security teams need continuous visibility into what AI tools are being used, what data is being exposed, and where risk is increasing. SAFE AI Security Posture Management gives enterprises the operational control needed to govern AI adoption responsibly." SAFE AI-SPM extends SAFE's autonomous cyber risk management platform into one of the fastest-growing areas of enterprise risk: AI exposure. With this launch, SAFE enables organizations to move beyond fragmented AI governance workflows and isolated AI security controls toward continuous AI risk intelligence, business-aware prioritization, and autonomous risk reduction. Discover more Machine Learning & Artificial Intelligence risk management SAFE AI-SPM will be showcased at the Gartner Security & Risk Management Summit 2026, taking place June 1 - 3 in National Harbor, Maryland. Attendees can visit SAFE at Booth 703 to see a live demo and learn how SAFE helps enterprises manage risk from AI vendors including ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, and others.

SAFE acquires Balbix for AI cybersecurity

SAFE Securities Inc. has acquired Balbix Inc., a company specializing in AI-native cyber risk and exposure management, for an undisclosed sum. Balbix's platform offers continuous visibility into attack surfaces, including cloud, on-premises, and third-party assets, by discovering assets, detecting vulnerabilities, and assessing threat efficacy in real time. The platform prioritizes findings based on risk, linking security issues to business context for effective remediation.

SAFE acquires Balbix to unify AI-native exposure management and cyber risk quantification

SAFE acquires Balbix to unify AI-native exposure management and cyber risk quantification. Artificial intelligence-based cyber risk management company SAFE Securities Inc. today announced that it has acquired cybersecurity posture firm Balbix Inc. for an undisclosed sum. Founded in 2015, Balbix specializes in artificial intelligence-native cyber risk and exposure management that helps enterprises gain continuous visibility into their attack surface, including cloud, on-premises and third-party assets. Balbix's automated exposure-management platform discovers assets, inventories systems, detects vulnerabilities and misconfigurations and assesses threat and control efficacy in real time. The platform categorizes its findings based on risk-based prioritization that doesn't treat every finding equally but instead links technical security issues to business context, identifying which assets are most critical, which exposures are most likely to be exploited and which remedial actions will yield the highest impact. Cyber risks are quantified, with the platform translating exposure and vulnerability data into business-impact metrics such as potential financial losses or operational disruption. That allows security leaders to articulate the seriousness of a given issue with executives, allocate resources based on quantified risk, and shift focus from compliance tick-boxes to strategic risk reduction. Balbix also supports remediation and continuous risk-management workflows, with integration into ticketing and workflow systems to alert teams when a risk has increased or hasn't been addressed. The platform helps track reduction of exposure over time, making the security posture dynamic rather than static. Post-acquisition, SAFE intends to unify Balbix's AI-native exposure management with its existing cyber risk quantification model to allow enterprises to measure, manage and prioritize cyber risk continuously based on business risks. The integration will also trace every vulnerability or misconfiguration to its quantified business impact. And it will unify security operations and risk management under a shared, real-time view of operational exposure and strategic risk. SAFE claims that the integration between the two companies will signal a new era where chief information security officers will be transformed into enterprise risk leaders, armed with real-time visibility of their entire risk landscape. "Balbix has always helped customers understand what's exploitable," said founder and Chief Executive Gaurav Banga, who is joining SAFE as president of continuous threat exposure management. "With SAFE, we take that capability to an entirely new level. Together, we can tie every exposure to business impact and drive immediate, decisive action. This isn't incremental - we're delivering the unified cyber risk platform the industry has been waiting for." Coming into the acquisition, Balbix had raised $100 million in venture capital funding over three rounds, according to data from Tracxn. Investors in the company included Redline Capital Management, Third Point Ventures, Nautilus Venture Partners, Moderne Ventures, JC2 Ventures, Mayfield Fund Management, Alter Venture Partners and Singtel Innov8 Pte.
