AccuKnox Launches AI-Security 2.0 to Extend Zero Trust Protection to AI Models and Agents

AccuKnox launched AI-Security 2.0 at RSA Conference 2026, positioning the platform as an identity-powered, Zero Trust framework built specifically for securing AI models, agents, and data. The release includes eight integrated modules, six of which are generally available and two in beta.
The GA modules cover the core risk surface organizations encounter when running AI in production. AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) continuously discovers and maps model endpoints, MLOps pipelines, and agent toolchains, giving security teams a real-time inventory of what is running, where, and who owns it. AI Detection and Response (AI-DR) analyzes CloudTrail, Azure logs, and runtime telemetry to surface risky activity, including unexpected resource creation, new region deployments, public exposure, privilege escalation, and abnormal GPU usage. AI Red Teaming automates adversarial testing against hallucinations, prompt injection, toxicity, and unsafe code generation. Prompt Firewall and AI Pen Testing round out the GA lineup, while AI-DSPM and AI-GRC remain in beta, along with AI Identity Controls.
The platform supports upstream caller sequence-aware authorization for multi-agent workflows and offers runtime sandboxing with least-privilege tool execution. It uses open standards including SPIFFE and OpenFGA and integrates with Amazon Bedrock, Gemini, Ollama, and vLLM. Deployment spans AWS, Azure, GCP, on-premises Kubernetes, VMs, containers, and serverless environments, and AccuKnox is available on the AWS, Azure, Red Hat, and Oracle Cloud Marketplaces.
“AI is quickly becoming the core infrastructure for modern enterprises, but the security model around it is still catching up. AccuKnox AI-Security 2.0 takes a meaningful step forward by applying Zero Trust principles directly to the AI layer, bringing visibility, runtime protection, and identity-driven governance to the environments where AI actually runs,” said Golan Ben-Oni, CIO and CISO of IDT Corporation.
AccuKnox was incubated at SRI International and is backed by National Grid Partners, Dolby Family Ventures, Dreamit Ventures, Avanta Ventures, and the 5G Open Innovation Lab. The platform builds on CNCF open-source projects KubeArmor and ModelArmor.
