Xiid Corp. has announced a strategic partnership with Cytex Inc. to advance pre-emptive cyber defense capabilities for modern enterprises. Through this collaboration, both companies aim to address the growing complexity of cybersecurity threats, especially as organizations increasingly adopt AI technologies and face stricter global compliance regulations. By combining their technologies, they will help enterprises protect critical assets more effectively while simplifying security operations.
Specifically, the partnership integrates Xiid’s Terniion zero trust application control platform with Cytex’s AI security and governance platform, AICenturion. As a result, organizations can continuously monitor, detect, and remediate threats in real time. Moreover, the integrated solution helps enterprises secure sensitive environments by making critical infrastructure unreachable to threat actors while simultaneously enabling data protection, compliance enforcement, and operational visibility.
Furthermore, both companies designed this collaboration to solve common enterprise cybersecurity challenges. For instance, many organizations struggle to respond quickly when cyber incidents occur, manage complex security infrastructures, and meet rapidly evolving compliance standards. Therefore, this alliance focuses on delivering cost-effective, easy-to-deploy solutions that directly address these operational pain points.

The partnership introduces several key security capabilities. First, Cytex’s AICenturion platform acts as an AI security and governance layer that continuously discovers AI assets, protects sensitive data, enforces compliance policies, and supports safe AI adoption. In addition, Cytex’s LEO embedded AI engine accelerates risk discovery and remediation processes, allowing security teams to act faster against emerging threats. Meanwhile, Xiid’s Terniion platform eliminates attack pathways by making infrastructure undiscoverable. Its patented SealedTunnel technology uses outbound-only, triple-layer, quantum-secure encryption to deliver proactive protection across all environments, including AI agent-based platforms.
Importantly, these capabilities arrive at a time when global cybersecurity regulations are becoming more stringent. For example, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission has finalized new cybersecurity disclosure requirements for public companies. Similarly, the European Union has introduced major regulations, including the EU AI Act, the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA), and the Cyber Resilience Act (CRA). Additionally, the U.S. government is expected to strengthen HIPAA Security Rule requirements, which will further increase compliance pressure on organizations.
At the same time, the rise of AI agents is significantly increasing cyber risk. Gartner predicts that AI agents will reduce the time required to exploit account exposures by 50% by 2027. Meanwhile, Forrester forecasts that agentic AI deployments could lead to a major public breach this year. Additionally, McKinsey reports a 1200% surge in phishing attacks since the emergence of generative AI. Even OpenAI has highlighted the growing cybersecurity risks associated with advanced AI models.

“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.”
Overall, this partnership represents a significant step toward proactive, AI-aware cybersecurity architectures that help enterprises stay resilient in an increasingly complex threat landscape.
