Enigma Networks has announced the general availability of Enigma AI™, the industry’s first Internal Trust Governance platform. Designed to provide the internal network equivalent of Identity and Access Management (IAM), Enigma AI continuously determines and validates which asset-to-asset communications are necessary, legitimate, and safe—shifting from implicit trust to explicit, purpose-driven governance. This introduces a new control plane for Zero Trust (ZTNX) that addresses the long-standing blind spot in internal networks, where over-permissive trust relationships have enabled rapid lateral movement, credential abuse, and data exfiltration after initial compromise.
“After decades perfecting identity governance for users, internal networks continue to operate largely on blind trust,” said Bob Moul, Co-Founder and CEO of Enigma Networks. “IAM became essential when organizations realized they couldn't secure users and applications without first identifying and controlling access. We're doing the same thing for internal networks and assets. Every enterprise has IAM. Now they need Enigma AI to close the final gap in Zero Trust.”
“I spent years watching security teams drowning in network telemetry but starving for actual insight,” said Mark Viglione, Co-Founder and CTO of Enigma Networks. “Tools would generate endless logs and alerts, but couldn't answer the fundamental question: which internal communications should we trust? That frustration drove us to build Enigma AI – a platform that finally delivers governance, not just data.”
As organizations adopt an “assume breach” mindset and regulators demand proof of effective internal controls, Enigma AI provides the missing layer: proactive governance that eliminates implicit trust inside the network. By determining what should happen—not just detecting what does—the platform strengthens resilience, reduces lateral movement risk, and operationalizes Zero Trust from the inside out.
