We’re very excited to announce the release of innovative capabilities, expanding the AppSOC platform to include AI Security & Governance. These include a broad set of features to discover AI usage, manage security posture, and protect AI applications, models, and much more. These new capabilities are fully integrated with our robust application security platform that consolidates security findings, prioritizes what matters most, automates remediation, and provides cyber risk governance.

We’re not just using AI for security – we’re securing AI applications

As we blogged during RSA, many security vendors claim to leverage AI in their products to improve security performance, and AppSOC has been doing that for sometime as well. But far fewer vendors have tackled protecting AI applications along with all their unique components. With this launch, we are protecting a much broader set of AI components, such as large language models (LLMs), datasets, chatbot agents, and MLOps, as well as all the underlying code, and connected applications.

AI security is a natural extension of application security

AI applications include many new attack surfaces, and we have developed detection technology integrated with AI platform providers including AWS, Databricks, Azure, and OpenAI to provide discovery, posture management, data protection, governance, and more. 

But we also believe that detection alone is not enough. Our new AI capabilities are fully integrated into our robust platform for managing broader application security. Without a platform approach, point solutions that detect AI issues risk creating more security noise that doesn’t get remediated or remains lost in new security silos.

Instead, with AppSOC, every AI issue is mapped to corresponding applications and combined with findings around vulnerabilities, misconfigurations, and more. All these findings go through our advanced noise reduction, and risk-based prioritization to pinpoint the most critical issues, notify stakeholders, automate remediation workflows, and track SLA performance for compliance and continuous improvement.

“We must leverage generative AI and LLM technology to optimize business processes and innovation, and security teams need to enable this without impeding velocity. This requires making AI applications secure by design with embedded governance, data security, and compliance with regulations. AppSOC is doing that with a platform approach to AI security that integrates it into a holistic cyber risk governance ecosystem.”

‍Key capabilities

The AppSOC AI Security and Governance solution includes:

• Shadow AI Discovery: providing visibility into unsanctioned AI models and agents to ensure security best practices and compliance
• AI Governance: proactively creating resource inventories, use-case repositories, and approval workflows for AI projects to ensure trust, safety and accountability
• AI Posture Management & Data Protection: detecting security misconfigurations, applying guardrails and protecting against data leaks
• Content Anomaly Detection and Data Compliance: runtime analysis of prompts and responses to address application abuse and attacks such as prompt injection
• AI Supply Chain Security: ensuring the integrity of AI applications and agents to mitigate security, reliability, and licensing risks associated with open-source models and datasets
• Protection for Connected Applications: safeguarding critical enterprise applications connected to AI systems against security breaches

The AppSOC solution also leverages industry frameworks, such as the OWASP Top 10 LLM Risks, to categorize AI risk. Detected AI security issues are mapped to these frameworks, providing customers with confidence that they are aligned with industry best practices.

Building Confidence and Trust in AI

Pravin Kothari, founder and CEO of AppSOC, underscores the platform's mission:

“Resisting critical AI projects will hinder innovation and place companies at a competitive disadvantage. Our mission is to facilitate AI progress by providing enterprises with the necessary visibility, guardrails, and governance to build confidence and trust in AI applications while preventing costly security, privacy, and compliance incidents.”

With this new platform, AppSOC is not just responding to the current landscape of AI security needs but is actively shaping the future of how enterprises can safely and effectively integrate AI into their operations. By offering comprehensive solutions that address governance, compliance, and security, AppSOC is empowering businesses to embrace AI innovations without compromising on safety.
