- [Cohesity] Maestro. Cohesity announced a new way for organizations to access its entire Data Cloud (data protection capabilities, e.g., cyber resilience, telemetry, Gaia, etc.) via an MCP server – meet Cohesty Maestro. Built on the open MCP standard, Cohesity Maestro integrates natively with the AI platforms enterprises have already standardized on, including Anthropic Claude, OpenAI ChatGPT, and Google Gemini, without custom integrations or proprietary connectors. While some competitors have created a walled garden of agentic experience, Cohesity Maestro is open by design, giving enterprises broad choice over their AI stack and the flexibility to use the agentic tools best suited to their needs.

- [Check Point] Strategic partnership with Illumio. Check Point and Illumio expanded their strategic partnership to encompass threats from frontier AI models. Check Point delivers the industry’s best security for the perimeter, data center, and networks — with the best real-time threat prevention against unknown attacks and the most comprehensive Zero Trust security available. Illumio addresses what happens inside the network: visibility into how workloads communicate, exposure of attack paths, and microsegmentation controls that protect critical assets and contain breaches before they cascade into disasters. Together, the two companies deliver protection and resilience as a unified capability. Customers can now procure Illumio directly through Check Point, simplifying vendor consolidation and accelerating deployment. Check Point
- [Pentera] New MCP server. Pentera added an MCP server to its AI capabilities, so clients can access Pentera capabilities via SecOps workflows. Through the MCP server, users, AI assistants, and agents can access both Pentera actions and data directly from within the enterprise AI workflows. Security teams can trigger a Pentera test to validate whether specific findings represent real exposure, correlate findings against Pentera data to prioritize fixes based on proven cyber risk, and accelerate remediation using guidance grounded in validated attack evidence.

- [SailPoint] Agentic Acceleration methodology. SailPoint launched a new AI-powered methodology that enables organizations to upgrade from legacy, on-premises identity systems to SailPoint’s cloud solution for identity security. Upgrading to the cloud has been a resource-intensive barrier for large enterprises, involving significant engineering hours and potential operational risk. SailPoint Agentic Acceleration is powered by the SailPoint Virtual Architect, a purpose-built AI capability designed to translate legacy configurations, workflows, and policies into a deployment-ready cloud foundation, helping to reduce manual effort …. Trained on 20 years of unmatched identity security expertise and thousands of the world’s most complex enterprise deployments, it serves as a deeply specialized modernization engine. Moving beyond the traditional lift and shift approach, the Virtual Architect makes it possible for customers to see their actual applications, workflows, and provisioning processes operating within the Identity Security Cloud, offering a way to validate fit and build internal confidence before an upgrade begins.

- [ArmorCode] Complying with the EU Cyber Resilience Act. ArmorCode added new capabilities to its Agentic AI Platform to help clients comply with the EU Cyber Resilience Act. The CRA capabilities are built on the ArmorCode Agentic AI Platform, which unifies security findings, asset intelligence, software supply chain data, threat intelligence, cloud security signals, and business context into a single source of truth. Through more than 375 integrations, ArmorCode enables organizations to correlate findings, prioritize risk, automate remediation workflows, and generate audit-ready evidence without replacing existing security tools. ArmorCode
- [Ping Identity] Expanded coverage. Ping Identity expanded its Runtime Identity solution for AI agents across new cloud and edge environments. AI agents do not operate inside a single platform, cloud, or identity boundary. They will invoke tools, call APIs, move across cloud workloads, interact with agent gateways and MCP servers, and reach data and services at the edge. Ping is extending its Runtime Identity capabilities into those execution paths, helping enterprises authorize agent actions, enforce policy, and monitor activity where AI agents actually operate. By bringing identity enforcement closer to the point of action, organizations can scale agentic operations without fragmenting visibility, governance, or control. Ping Identity
