Cognizant introduces offering to help enterprises secure, govern and scale AI

Cognizant has launched Cognizant Secure AI Services, an integrated offering intended to help enterprises secure, govern and scale AI and agentic systems across their operations.

Cognizant Secure AI Services is built on a trio of foundations, the first being a secure Agent Development Lifecycle (ADLC) that embeds protection across design, build, test, deploy and change of AI systems.

It also includes Cognizant Neuro Cybersecurity, a consolidated control plane that unifies AI and enterprise signals for threat response, correlation and audit-supporting evidence, as well as Responsible AI, a continuous trust and assurance layer delivered through Cognizant Trust that provides traceability, policy enforcement and supports compliance alignment based on client-defined requirements as AI systems scale.

Together, these capabilities span model security, data protection, AI DevOps security, identity and access management, agent behavior controls and generative AI risk management, aiming to enable enterprises to secure AI systems across their stages of operation.

“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. With Cognizant Secure AI Services, we are helping enterprises engineer trust into AI systems from day one and to sustain that trust as those systems evolve."
