Xiid Corp. and Cytex Inc. have announced a strategic partnership combining Xiid’s Terniion™ zero trust application control platform with Cytex’s AI security and governance platform, AICenturion. The collaboration delivers continuous threat monitoring, detection, and remediation while making critical assets unreachable to threat actors through proactive, deterministic protection—addressing escalating AI-driven threats and increasingly stringent global regulations.
Enterprises face dual pressures: accelerating adoption of agentic AI to transform workflows and rapidly tightening cybersecurity regulations worldwide. Agentic AI introduces new risks, including faster exploitation of exposures and amplified phishing attacks, while regulations such as the EU AI Act, DORA, CRA, and updated SEC/HIPAA rules demand stronger governance, transparency, and accountability. Traditional security stacks often fall short in providing pre-emptive protection against these evolving threats.
Xiid’s patented SealedTunnel creates outbound-only connections with quantum-resistant encryption, making critical assets invisible and non-routable to attackers. This deterministic approach prevents discovery and lateral movement, offering immediate protection for AI platforms, cloud environments, and hybrid infrastructure.
Cytex’s AICenturion discovers all AI usage, enforces data security policies, ensures compliance, and amplifies AI value while mitigating risks. Its embedded LEO engine enables rapid identification and automated remediation of threats, providing continuous monitoring and real-time protection.
“As enterprises race to harness the transformative power of AI agents across their workflows, a foundational security and governance layer is mandatory for safe, compliant, and scalable adoption,” said Cytex CEO Andrew Surwilo. “While industry is embracing the benefits of AI, the organizations that embed secure-by-design governance with proactive risk management and automated remediation will emerge as the clear leaders in the enterprise landscape."
“There’s no foolproof way to protect your organization, but AI-driven solutions that identify threats in real time, automatically contain them, and then harden the environment against repeat attacks can go a long way in making enterprises more secure and compliant,” said Xiid CEO Steve Visconti. “This collaboration creates the potential to deploy Terniion as a deterministic, preventive security fabric along with Cytex’s threat protection solution, giving customers the real-time ability to spin up SealedTunnel connections as new threats are identified so critical assets become non-routable and any potential lateral movement is stopped before it starts.”
The partnership positions enterprises to meet regulatory demands and defend against AI-amplified threats through a unified, proactive security model that combines prevention, governance, and automated response.
