Apiiro introduces Guardian Agent to secure ai-driven software development. Application security posture management company Apiiro Ltd. today announced the launch of Guardian Agent, a new artificial intelligence application security agent that guards AI models and prevents vulnerable and noncompliant code before it's generated. Guardian Angel is designed, in the company's words, to "bring order to chaos," by enabling enterprises to scale AI-native development while continuously reducing risk, improving compliance and aligning security with business velocity. The offering seeks to assist with the growing issue whereby, as AI has fundamentally changed how software is built, it has also rapidly expanded application attack surfaces up to 10 times. Apiiro argues that traditional AppSec scanners are not built for today's reality because they're fragmented and noisy, generate large volumes of false positives, and lack the context required to understand real risk, resulting in operational chaos and growing exposure across the software development lifecycle. "The biggest challenge in AppSec today is not detection; it's that enterprises cannot secure what they don't understand," said Chief Executive Idan Plotnik. "To stay in control and reduce risk, organizations must implement modern AppSec programs capable of executing 24/7 at scale." Apiiro's Guardian Agent addresses the issues by allowing enterprises to proactively and contextually prevent risk before AI generates the code. The agent continuously understands software architecture, attack surface, runtime exposure and organizational policies and uses this context to guard AI assistants, vibe coding and agentic development workflows in real time. Core features include the ability to prevent AI models from generating vulnerable and noncompliant code by rewriting prompts and generating contextual, secure prompts in real time. There's also support for adapting secure prompts continuously as software architecture, runtime environments and organizational policies and regulatory requirements evolve. In addition, it eliminates manual threat modeling and AppSec task backlogs. And finally, it can translate complex AppSec decisions into a shared language for developers, security teams and executive stakeholders. Guardian Agent is powered by Apiiro's AutoFix agent and its Secure Prompt technology that guards AI models and prevents the generation of vulnerable and noncompliant code. The technology also automates threat modeling on feature requests and design documents. "With the launch of Guardian Agent, we are positioning Apiiro at the forefront of the next era of AppSe - where understanding, prevention and automation replace alert fatigue and reactive workflows," added Plotnik. Apiiro is a venture capital-backed company that has raised $135 million over two rounds, including rounds of $35 million in October 2020 and $100 million in November 2022. Investors include General Catalyst Group Management, Greylock Partners and Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers. Image: siliconangle/ideogram.

Endpoint Security and Network Monitoring news for the week of December 19th. Apiiro, an agentic application security platform, has introduced an AI-powered static application security testing (SAST) capability that ties vulnerability detection directly to an application's software architecture, from code to runtime. The new offering utilizes AI to identify flaws, validate exploitability, and propose fixes within the context of real application flows, aiming to reduce noise and shorten remediation cycles for development teams. By correlating code issues with architectural and runtime context, this will help security and platform engineering leaders get deeper insight into how vulnerabilities actually impact production systems. Astra Security, an AI-powered continuous pentest platform, has released a cloud vulnerability scanner designed to continuously assess cloud-native environments for misconfigurations, exposed services, and compliance gaps. The scanner delivers agentless discovery across assets and services, with prioritized findings to help teams quickly identify exploitable risks rather than wade through generic alerts. With this feature, users can utilize continuous cloud visibility, guided remediation steps, an easy setup process, and IAM risk detection. Additionally, the tool works seamlessly alongside Astra's other solutions, providing a unified dashboard for everything from cloud posture to app vulnerabilities. CrowdStrike has announced the general availability of its Falcon AI Detection and Response (AIDR) offering, which extends its Falcon platform to protect the AI prompt and agent interaction layer across the enterprise. The new service targets prompt injection, jailbreaks, unsafe content, and data exfiltration by monitoring and enforcing policies on prompts, responses, and AI agent actions in real-time. Specifically, it provides teams with end-to-end security for AI development, alongside unified visibility, governance, and protection for AI usage from development to employee-facing tools. Cyderes, a global managed cybersecurity services partner, has acquired Lucidum, a provider of asset discovery and attack surface management solutions. The deal will bring Lucidum's data-driven visibility and asset intelligence into Cyderes' services, helping companies create a tighter integration between asset discovery, risk scoring, and operational response workflows. Chris Schueler, CEO at Cyderes, says, "Lucidum's data fabric gives us the shared foundation necessary to unify that context across every environment we protect. This becomes the backbone for our Identity & Access Management, Exposure Management, and Managed Detection & Response capabilities, the base layer upon which we will build the SaaS offerings and AI-driven capabilities our clients need next." Dux, an agentic exposure management platform built for the speed of AI-driven cyber-attacks, has emerged from stealth with a $9 million seed round led by Redpoint, TLV Partners, and Maple Capital, with participation from leading cybersecurity executives from CrowdStrike, Okta, and Armis. The Dux platform is designed for security leaders who are dissatisfied with static, scan-based risk views and manual remediation processes, equipping them with AI-driven tools that continuously analyze exploitability across the entire environment to determine whether existing controls already block a potential attack path. LevelBlue, a pure-play provider of managed security services, has expanded its partnership with Tenable, a cybersecurity company specializing in exposure management, to introduce unlimited enterprise-grade vulnerability scanning within LevelBlue's USM platform, removing previous licensing constraints on scan volumes. The integrated offer will combine Tenable's scanning technology with LevelBlue's threat detection and response capabilities, giving customers a single environment to discover, assess, and monitor assets without worrying about per-asset or per-scan pricing. Netwatch, a global provider of AI-powered security services, has signed a definitive agreement to be acquired by GI Partners, a private investment firm. Once the acquisition is complete, Netwatch will operate as an independent company within GI Partners' portfolio. Mark Prybutok, Managing Director and Head of Data Infrastructure at GI Partners, says, "We are excited to support the Company in its next phase of growth through the application of AI technology, strategic capital investment, and deeper partnership with customers; continuing to expand its leadership in the remote video monitoring ecosystem." Vectra AI, a cybersecurity AI company that protects modern networks, has unveiled an expanded platform vision that unifies proactive exposure management, 360-degree response, and value reporting to deliver continuous control across the hybrid attack lifecycle. The approach aims to help security teams shift from siloed tools and reactive workflows to a single operating model spanning data center, identity, multi-cloud, SaaS, and OT/IoT environments. Specifically, it targets enterprises and MSSPs that need measurable resilience and executive-ready reporting, not just detection feeds. WatchGuard Technologies, a provider of unified cybersecurity solutions, has announced the WatchGuard Zero Trust Bundle, a streamlined offering that aims to make zero-trust achievable for organizations of all sizes. The bundle combines adaptive MFA, SSO, dark web credential monitoring, EPDR, and FireCloud Total Access, providing SMEs and MSPs with a practical, deployable path to zero trust, without the complexity or overhead of legacy enterprise solutions. WatchGuard is positioning the Bundle as a replacement for its Passport offering. XM Cyber, a Continuous Exposure Management company, has announced new capabilities that integrate its External Attack Surface Management with internal risk validation to eliminate false positives in hybrid exposure management. With these updates, the platform can validate whether external exposures are exploitable in a given environment and use attack graph analysis to model how attackers could move laterally to critical assets. The two-step, attacker-centric validation is aimed at security teams overwhelmed by theoretical risk scores and unprioritized alerts, allowing them to focus remediation on exposures that genuinely pose a threat to the business.
