Reinventing Data & Identity Security in the age of AI

Reinventing Data & Identity Security in the age of AI

Oct 15, 2025

Introducing our latest innovations, Netwrix Innovation Week, and our new corporate identity

AI is creating a new level of urgency for organizations to understand where their sensitive data is and who has access to it – whether human, machine, or AI agent. Attackers are using AI to probe for vulnerability, and identities are the weak links on the way to a data breach. Organizations are also discovering internal blind spots as AI agents surface sensitive data they thought was locked away from employees’ eyes.

Until now, data and identity security solutions existed in silos that created visibility gaps, exposure, and risks that security teams had to address. Locking down data means little without visibility into who has access to which data and a means for securing and governing those identities. Without identity governance and security, attackers are apt to steal credentials that allow them access, exfiltrate, encrypt, and manipulate sensitive data. Similarly, an employee might stumble on sensitive data through an AI engine or because an old role left them with excessive privileges.

To help our customers stay ahead of evolving threats and accidental data exposure, we’re doubling down on our mission to reinvent identity and data security within our 1Secure™ platform and across our portfolio. Built on an open architecture, 1Secure brings together data and identity security in a unified platform that eliminates blind spots, is fast to deploy, and reduces cost and complexity for organizations of all sizes.

As we pursue our mission to reinvent data and identity security, it is also fitting that our corporate identity evolve to reflect our innovation culture and where we are going next.

Today, we unveil a new corporate identity that reflects a new era for Netwrix, one that reflects our culture of innovation and our vision for the future. I am proud of our team, our partners who serve as brand ambassadors for Netwrix around the world, and our creative agency, Terra. Thank you!

I am excited about all the innovation happening here at Netwrix and encourage you to read our news release, join us for our virtual Netwrix Innovation Summit on 22 October, or tune in to our Netwrix Innovation Week Podcast Series, which begins on 15 October and follows with a daily episode through 23 October:
