About AQtive Guard

The future of enterprise data security

Powered by AI, driven by the latest cryptographic developments, and purpose-built to keep you ahead of traditional risk detection and response methods, AQtive Guard puts you in full command of your organization’s security posture.

With an end-to-end, unified platform that delivers fast, comprehensive discovery, in-depth risk analysis, and instant, actionable insights, AQtive Guard supports AI security operations from the risks of unprotected NHIs and delayed remediation.

As a comprehensive solution for Cryptography and Non-Human Identity (NHI) Management, including securing and governing identities for applications, services, devices, and AI agents, AQtive Guard takes a two-pronged approach to supporting network security operations: enhancing the full scope of your current cybersecurity readiness and improving risk management across current gaps and increasingly sophisticated breaches. 

Ultimately, AQtive Guard’s features are designed to help you transform critical functions like managing AI deployment risks and executing timely threat detection and response into both a competitive advantage and a proactive strategy in an increasingly uncertain risk environment.
