Cognizant Technology Solutions (NASDAQ: CTSH) announced the launch of Cognizant Secure AI Services, an integrated offering designed to help enterprises secure, govern and scale AI and agentic systems across their operations.

The service addresses security challenges that emerge as AI systems move into enterprise-wide deployment with autonomous capabilities that can reason, act and interact with enterprise data, APIs and external applications. Traditional cybersecurity models were not designed to address the new security, governance and run-time risks introduced by these probabilistic and context-driven systems.

The offering aims to help enterprises move from assumed trust toward "provable trust" through evidence, traceability and continuous assurance. Cognizant engineers trust at both build time by securing models, data and pipelines before deployment, and at run time by monitoring AI behavior in production to detect manipulation and manage unsafe actions.

"AI is fundamentally changing how enterprise systems behave," said Vishal Salvi, Global Head of Cognizant's Cybersecurity Service Line. "These systems are adaptive, context-driven and increasingly autonomous – and securing them requires continuous assurance across build and run-time environments."

Cognizant Secure AI Services is built on three foundations: a secure Agent Development Lifecycle that embeds protection across design, build, test, deploy and change of AI systems; Cognizant Neuro Cybersecurity, a control plane that unifies AI and enterprise signals for threat response; and Responsible AI, a continuous trust and assurance layer delivered through Cognizant Trust that provides traceability and policy enforcement.

The company stated it is working with more than 250 global enterprises across regulated industries to assess, secure and operationalize digital transformation programs, including AI deployments. The information is based on a company press release.
