Operant AI has officially introduced its AI Infrastructure Ecosystem Partnership Program, marking a significant step toward strengthening real-time security at the inference layer. As enterprises rapidly scale their AI adoption, the company is proactively collaborating with leading AI infrastructure providers to ensure that performance, speed, and security evolve together rather than compete with one another.
Currently, the surge in AI agents, MCP-connected systems, and high-scale inference deployments has dramatically reshaped the cybersecurity landscape. More importantly, organizations are increasingly deploying autonomous AI systems that interact with sensitive data, critical tools, and external environments. However, many of these systems still lack the necessary governance and security frameworks. To address this gap, Operant AI delivers an inline, real-time security platform specifically designed to detect, analyze, and defend AI systems during live inference operations.
Through this newly launched partnership program, Operant AI integrates its advanced runtime defense capabilities directly into AI infrastructure stacks. As a result, enterprises can now leverage a new generation of AI systems that are not only fast and scalable but also secure by design. This initiative ultimately creates a unified ecosystem where security is embedded from the ground up rather than added later.
Securing the Future of Inference
“We are at an inflection point where the scale, speed, and autonomy of AI systems have outpaced the security controls designed to govern them,” said Vrajesh Bhavsar, CEO and Co-founder of Operant AI. “My career has been defined by securing the systems the world depends on — from building the security foundations for the iPhone at Apple, to founding the ML business unit at ARM and bringing security to billions of edge devices. Every one of those transitions demanded that we secure the infrastructure first, before scale made the problem unmanageable. We are in that moment again with AI, and the inference layer is ground zero. Operant AI is here to secure the future of inference — today, in real time, at the layer where it matters most.”
With over two decades of expertise in AI hardware and cybersecurity, Bhavsar has consistently contributed to foundational security innovations. Notably, his work at Apple included building key security features such as Data Protection and Secure Enclave, while his leadership at ARM helped scale secure AI capabilities globally.
Driving Real-Time Defense for Modern AI Platforms
At the same time, next-generation AI inference platforms are enabling high-speed processing, delivering thousands of tokens per second. Consequently, these advancements support real-time agentic workflows, instant decision-making, and complex enterprise-scale operations. Industries such as healthcare, financial services, and government are increasingly relying on such infrastructure to power mission-critical AI applications.
“As AI moves to always-on agents, the bar for infrastructure gets higher: it has to be performant and open by design. Partnering with Operant AI lets Tenstorrent customers pair our high-throughput, Tensix-based inference platforms with real-time visibility of agents at the inference runtime layer, enabling them to scale their AI initiatives with confidence,” said Aniket Saha, VP of Product Strategy, Tenstorrent.
By combining Tenstorrent’s high-performance hardware with Operant AI’s real-time monitoring capabilities, organizations gain complete visibility and control over AI model behavior. Furthermore, this integration ensures compliance, traceability, and enhanced operational security.
In addition, the partnership program is open to AI infrastructure providers, inference platforms, and MCP-compatible vendors. Participants can leverage Operant AI’s tools, including AI Gatekeeper, MCP Gateway, and Agent Protector, to embed real-time protection directly into their offerings. Notably, Operant AI stands out as the only vendor featured across six Gartner AI security reports, reinforcing its leadership in this evolving domain.
