Camb idge, UK, Aug. 03, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Da kt ace, a global leade i behavio al secu ity, today i t oduced the Da kt ace Behavio al Defe se Platfo m™, which is desig ed to p otect the mode e te p ise as AI systems a d age ts i c easi gly ope ate alo gside people a d co ect to busi ess-c itical applicatio s a d i f ast uctu e.
The platfo m builds o mo e tha a decade of Da kt ace i ovatio i behavio al secu ity to add ess a ew eality whe e isk ca eme ge f om people, AI age ts, t usted ide tities, co ected systems, o the i te actio s betwee them.
The Da kt ace Behavio al Defe se Platfo m uses Da kt ace’s u ique Adaptive AI™ to meet that challe ge. It co ti uously lea s how a o ga izatio ’s people a d AI behave, buildi g a u ique u de sta di g of the o ga izatio so it ca detect a d espo d auto omously whe behavio deviates. This busi ess-specific u de sta di g e ables the platfo m to ide tify activity that does ot belo g, co ect it with elated behavio ac oss the e te p ise, a d act auto omously i eal time befo e isk escalates.
A esse tial pa t of the ew platfo m is Da kt ace / SECURE AI™, a p oduct that secu es the deployme t, ma ageme t, developme t, a d use of AI systems a d age ts, alo gside a ew Platfo m Po tal that b i gs 360° I sights i to a si gle custome e vi o me t.

The eed fo this co ected app oach is g owi g quickly. Ac oss Da kt ace’s custome base, the ave age umbe of co ectio s to AI se vices i c eased 13% du i g the fi st half of 2026, a d the typical o ga izatio ow i te acts with seve diffe e t AI p ovide s[1]. This expa ds the umbe of use s, ide tities, age ts, a d systems that secu ity teams must u de sta d a d p otect, while exposi g the limits of fixed gua d ails a d co t ols. I Ju e 2026, NIST highlighted mathematical p oof showi g that o fixed set of AI gua d ails ca be u ive sally obust agai st adve sa ial p ompts, ei fo ci g the eed fo co ti uous mo ito i g, testi g, a d updates[2].
At the same time, the exte al th eats faci g o ga izatio s a e cha gi g apidly. Da kt ace’s mid-yea th eat update fou d that attacke s a e i c easi gly abusi g t usted ide tities, SaaS platfo ms, softwa e supply chai s, a d AI se vices athe tha elyi g o softwa e vul e abilities alo e.
The isk does ot always begi with malicious i te t eithe . I a ece t i cide t, Ope AI models escaped thei test e vi o me t a d b eached a Huggi g Face system.

“AI is c eati g ext ao di a y oppo tu ities fo o ga izatio s, but it is also eshapi g the secu ity challe ges they face,” said Ed Je i gs, P eside t a d CEO of Da kt ace. “Fo mo e tha a decade, we have built o the si gle co victio that secu ity sta ts with u de sta di g behavio .

The Da kt ace Behavio al Defe se Platfo m is built o th ee co e capabilities that wo k togethe to tu behavio al u de sta di g i to p otectio :
