New AI security posture management platform gives organizations full visibility into AI usage, vulnerabilities, and compliance gaps as AI-driven attacks accelerate
SandboxAQ has launched AQtive Guard AI-SPM, a purpose-built AI Security Posture Management platform designed to help enterprises uncover and secure “shadow AI” before it leads to data breaches or system compromise. With organizations rapidly adopting AI models and agents across their technology stacks, the company warns that most still lack the visibility and controls needed to manage AI-related risks.
According to recent SandboxAQ research, while 79% of enterprises already run AI in production, 72% have never completed a full AI security assessment, and only 6% have an AI-native security strategy in place. Many organizations also report concerns about exposed credentials and secrets within their AI systems, yet just 39% use tools to detect and protect them.
These gaps are increasingly dangerous as emerging global threats—including reports of state-sponsored groups hijacking commercial AI models—show how attackers can automate large-scale espionage and data theft.
“AI is transforming industries while expanding the attack surface faster than legacy tools can handle,” said Jack Hidary, CEO, SandboxAQ. “Attackers are already weaponizing AI to exfiltrate data and automate intrusions. Without visibility into how AI and agents operate across the environment, enterprises are flying blind.”
AQtive Guard applies deep inspection from cloud to code, discovering hidden AI assets such as models, agents, and MCP servers. It evaluates them for weaknesses including prompt injection, data leakage, insecure dependencies, and unauthorized access. The platform also provides continuous threat monitoring, AI governance enforcement, and compliance alignment for emerging regulatory requirements.
The new AI-SPM offering is being rolled out to select early-access customers ahead of wider availability in 2026.
