The AI-powered platform secures machine identities and cryptographic assets as enterprises face a billion-strong surge in autonomous AI agents.
As enterprises rapidly adopt autonomous AI agents, cybersecurity firm SandboxAQ has unveiled AQtive Guard, a new platform designed to secure Non-Human Identities (NHIs) and cryptographic assets — the emerging frontiers of cyber risk.
With forecasts estimating over 1 billion AI agents in operation in the coming years, AQtive Guard aims to help organizations address the growing machine-to-machine attack surface that traditional security tools struggle to defend.
“As machine-to-machine communications grow, managing NHIs and cryptographic assets in real time is critical to cyber resilience.” – Marc Manzano, GM of Cybersecurity, SandboxAQ
The platform includes two core modules — Discover and Protect — offering real-time inventory of NHIs, vulnerability detection, automated remediation workflows, and policy enforcement for cryptographic keys and certificates.
“Enterprises are giving AI agents a vastly increased range of capabilities. This creates a dangerous new attack surface for adversaries,” said Jack Hidary, CEO of SandboxAQ.
AQtive Guard is built for rapid deployment across hybrid and multi-cloud environments and supports integration with leading cybersecurity tools. Notably, the launch includes:
- Deep integration with CrowdStrike Falcon®, enabling one-click data ingestion for visibility and remediation of NHI-related risks
- Interoperability with Palo Alto Networks, bringing firewall logs into AQtive Guard for enhanced network security posture and compliance
The platform leverages SandboxAQ’s Large Quantitative Models (LQMs) for risk prioritization and root cause analysis. An embedded GenAI assistant helps teams navigate compliance requirements, including migration to new NIST security standards.
AQtive Guard is now available globally, including in the Middle East, as a fully managed, cloud-delivered solution.
