Vectra AI Focuses on Proactive Security for the AI Era

Cybersecurity AI provider Vectra AI recently announced the launch of the next generation of its flagship platform.

Next-Gen Platform to Secure the AI Enterprise

The next generation of the platform is designed to protect the AI enterprise by delivering preemptive security and proactive defense against AI-powered cyberattacks.

“Modern networks have fundamentally changed the physics of cyber risk,” said Hitesh Sheth, CEO of Vectra AI. “They are the nervous system of the AI enterprise, where identities act and data moves at machine speed. Attackers understand this and are exploiting it. With our next-generation platform, Vectra AI is redefining cyber resilience by giving defenders continuous visibility, clear AI-driven signal, and answers at machine speed to stop AI-powered attacks long before they disrupt the business.”

This new next-generation platform from Vectra AI introduces three enhancements designed to deliver specific outcomes across AI attack lifecycles. The three enhancements include:

• Preemptive security to reduce exposure.
• Proactive defense to stop attacks as they start.
• Accelerated response to contain attacks while they are in motion.

Enabling preemptive security

The Vectra AI platform delivers unified observability across the AI enterprise. It spans on-premises data centers, multi-cloud, identity, SaaS, IoT/OT, edge, and AI infrastructure. The platform combines flow-based scale with packet-level context and provides both breadth and depth of visibility across one enterprise-wide attack surface.

“AI infrastructure no longer behaves like a traditional network,” said Marty Roesch, Head of Cloud at Vectra AI. “Traffic is ephemeral, east-west dominates, and the most important activity never crosses a perimeter. To build real resilience in AI environments, security teams need observability that is software-defined and operates at scale without sacrificing fidelity. That is the foundation required to detect and stop AI-driven attacks in real time.”

Unified observability enables preemptive security, enabling security teams to identify and reduce exposure before AI-powered attacks can exploit identities, trust relationships, and automation paths. Organizations can now close gaps and reduce risk before attacks begin.

Proactive defense for organizations

The Vectra AI platform automatically discovers and tracks them across the modern network. It also detects when attackers use and abuse AI agents to accelerate reconnaissance, lateral movement, and data access.

Additionally, pre-built, behavior-based hunts deliver results quickly, turning threat hunting into a continuous, proactive practice.

Cyberattack containment

The next-generation platform grounds resilience in unified observability, behavioral AI, and real-time investigations.

Vectra AI enables organizations to deliver preemptive security to reduce exposure before compromise and proactive defense that stops AI-powered attacks when they begin. This resilience is built for environments where innovation and risk both move at AI speed.

Recently, Vectra AI announced plans to unify pre- and post-breach controls to build resilience across hybrid environments. Read more about this unified control model of hybrid security.
