SandboxAQ Launches AQtive Guard to Secure AI-Driven Assets

News Desk - 23/04/2025

SandboxAQ has announced the general availability of AQtive Guard, a new platform designed to manage and protect Non-Human Identities (NHIs) and cryptographic assets. These assets are increasingly used by AI agents in enterprise environments.

As AI agents grow in number and capability, organizations face evolving cybersecurity threats. Many of these threats are intelligent, fast-moving, and hard to detect. Traditional security tools struggle to keep up.

AQtive Guard offers an AI-powered approach to this growing problem. The platform helps companies find and secure cryptographic elements such as keys, certificates, and algorithms. It also enables real-time control over NHIs, which are often overlooked.

With its Discover module, AQtive Guard builds an accurate inventory of cryptographic assets. This helps organizations stay compliant with regulations and internal policies. The Protect module automates tasks like certificate renewal and credential rotation, improving security response time.

To boost its capabilities, AQtive Guard integrates with leading cybersecurity tools. It connects directly with CrowdStrike Falcon®, allowing users to pull data from endpoints with one click. It also works with Palo Alto Networks, ingesting firewall logs for deeper visibility into network threats.

According to SandboxAQ CEO Jack Hidary, AI agents will soon exceed one billion in number. These agents often hold the power to affect real-world operations. As a result, the risk to enterprise systems continues to rise.

Marc Manzano, General Manager of Cybersecurity at SandboxAQ, said that real-time inventory and automated remediation are now critical. AQtive Guard is designed to act on threats from day one.

The platform supports cloud environments like AWS and Google Cloud. It also applies SandboxAQ’s Cyber Large Quantitative Models (LQMs) to reduce false positives and guide response efforts. A built-in GenAI assistant helps teams understand and navigate compliance standards.

AQtive Guard streamlines key management, automates updates, and enforces cryptographic policies. It offers tools to help organizations migrate to the latest NIST standards quickly and efficiently.
