Zafran launches Attack Chain Killswitch, built with Google Threat Intelligence, to break ai-powered attack chains. Google Threat Intelligence and Zafran's AI-native Exposure Graph combine global adversary intelligence with customer-specific context to help identify and stop AI-powered attack chains before they become breaches. NEW YORK, August 3, 2026 (Newswire.com) - Zafran Security, a pioneer in AI-native Continuous Threat Exposure Management, today announced "Attack Chain Killswitch", a new capability built with Google Threat Intelligence that helps organizations identify the few mitigation actions that disrupt the greatest number of attack paths before they lead to a breach. By combining Google Threat Intelligence, including frontline intelligence from Mandiant and VirusTotal, as well as Google's vast visibility. With Zafran's AI-native Exposure Graph, organizations can identify the few actions that disrupt the greatest number of attack chains before they lead to a breach. The launch comes as AI dramatically changes how attackers operate. Rather than relying on a single critical vulnerability, adversaries increasingly chain together multiple low and medium severity weaknesses, misconfigurations, and identity exposures to reach critical assets. Frontier AI can now assemble attack chains in minutes that once took skilled attackers months to build. "For the first time, we're seeing fully autonomous hacking operations. AI is far easier for the attacker to wield than the defender, who still has to protect business continuity and apply fixes safely," said Sanaz Yashar, CEO and Co-Founder of Zafran Security. "Zafran and Google threat intelligence together change that. Every asset, every attack vector, every security tool, mapped to our attack chain, so defenders can break the attack path before it's ever used, safely and without disrupting the business." Attack Chain Killswitch enables organizations to determine whether active attack campaigns can reach your environment. It maps how attackers would move across cloud and on premises infrastructure, then identifies the highest-impact choke points to stop attacks before they spread. By focusing on complete attack paths rather than individual CVEs, organizations can rapidly reduce risk using the security controls they already own. About Zafran Security Zafran Security is the first AI-native end-to-end Threat Exposure Management platform that helps security teams stop vulnerability exploitation everywhere. Using existing security tools, Zafran proves that 99% of critical vulnerabilities are not exploitable, then rapidly mitigates and remediates the 1% most likely to cause an incident. By bringing together discovery, prioritization, mitigation and remediation into a unified platform, Zafran helps enterprises reduce risk faster without adding operational complexity.

Zafran Security has launched Attack Chain Killswitch, a new capability built with Google Threat Intelligence to help organisations identify and disrupt AI-powered attack chains before they result in breaches. The platform combines Google Threat Intelligence, including data from Mandiant and VirusTotal, with Zafran's AI-native Exposure Graph to pinpoint critical mitigation actions. The launch addresses a shift in cyber threats, where attackers increasingly chain together multiple low and medium severity vulnerabilities rather than exploiting single critical flaws. Frontier AI can now assemble these attack chains in minutes, a process that previously required months of skilled work. Attack Chain Killswitch maps potential attacker movement across cloud and on-premises infrastructure, identifying high-impact chokepoints to prevent attack spread whilst using existing security controls.

Cisco backs Zafran's exposure management strategy. July 23, 2026 Zafran Security has received a strategic investment from Cisco Investments, adding to the $130 million the company previously raised. Cisco joins investors including Sequoia Capital, Cyberstarts, Menlo Ventures, PSP Growth, Vintage Investment Partners, and Amex Ventures. The companies did not disclose the size of the new investment. Zafran is building a continuous threat exposure management platform that helps enterprises identify which vulnerabilities are most likely to be used as part of an attack path. The platform brings together data from endpoint, firewall, cloud, identity, and vulnerability management tools to show how an attacker could move through an environment. The company's Exposure Graph identifies points where several attack paths converge and helps security teams decide where remediation or mitigation will reduce the most risk. Zafran can also use existing security controls to apply validated changes, giving enterprises a way to act on exposure data without adding another separate enforcement layer. Cisco's investment reflects growing demand for platforms that connect vulnerability discovery with remediation. As attackers use automation to combine weaknesses and move faster through enterprise systems, security teams need clearer ways to prioritize action across the tools they already own. Zafran is positioning its platform as the coordination layer for that work. An in-depth guide to cloud security. Get essential knowledge and practical strategies to fortify your cloud security.
