SandboxAQ has announced the general availability of AQtive Guard, a cloud-delivered platform designed to secure and manage Non-Human Identities (NHIs) and cryptographic assets as AI agents proliferate across enterprise environments.

At its core, AQtive Guard includes two key modules:

• Discover: Maintains a real-time inventory of NHIs and cryptographic elements (keys, certificates, algorithms), helping organizations meet compliance and regulatory requirements.
• Protect: Automates remediation workflows and enforces security policies such as credential rotation and certificate renewal.

The platform leverages Large Quantitative Models (LQMs) to provide organizations with enhanced visibility and control over machine-to-machine communication, helping them navigate complex compliance landscapes and transition to new NIST security standards.

As part of the launch, SandboxAQ introduced two major integrations:

• CrowdStrike Falcon: Deep integration pulls endpoint data to build full cryptographic inventories, enabling one-click ingestion and automated remediation.
• Palo Alto Networks: Ingests firewall logs for improved visibility into network vulnerabilities and compliance posture.

“There will be more than one billion AI agents with significant autonomous power in the next few years,” stated Jack Hidary, CEO of SandboxAQ. “Enterprises are giving AI agents a vastly increased range of capabilities to impact customers and real-world assets. This creates a dangerous attack surface for adversaries. AQtive Guard’s Discover and Protect modules address this urgent issue.”

Additional platform features include:

• Unified Inventory and Detection across cloud environments like AWS and GCP.
• AI-powered Prioritization using Cyber LQMs for filtered risk analysis and actionable insights.
• Automated Lifecycle Management of cryptographic keys and credentials.
• Compliance Support with prebuilt rulesets, customizable queries, and reporting for standards like NIST.

AQtive Guard is available now, offering priority access for early deployment and risk assessments.
