A10 Networks has acquired AI security company TrojAI Inc., adding new tools designed to help organizations test, secure, and govern artificial intelligence (AI) systems and agent-based workflows.
The deal strengthens A10 Networks’ efforts into what it calls “sovereign AI security,” or giving companies more control over where their AI models, data, and automated agents are protected and how they are managed.
TrojAI focuses on two main layers of protection for AI systems. The first is “red teaming,” which stress-tests AI models, agents, and applications during development to find weak points before deployment. The second is real-time protection, which monitors and blocks threats while AI systems are running. Together, these tools are designed to reduce risks as companies roll out generative AI and autonomous agents in production environments.
Here is a cleaner breakdown that preserves the exact meaning and structure of the quote, but makes it easier to read and parse:
“AI is changing both what enterprises build and the attack surface they have to defend, and traditional controls were not designed for non-deterministic models and autonomous agents,” said Dhrupad Trivedi, president and chief executive officer of A10 Networks.
Trivedi noted that TrojAI is a natural fit for A10, strategically and operationally.
“Pairing our hardware-based AI firewall with TrojAI’s software-based red teaming and runtime protection helps customers adopt AI quickly and confidently,” Trivedi said. “This setup is designed to protect “their models, data, and agents without sacrificing the latency or availability they rely on us for, whether on-premises, in the cloud, or hybrid.”
For customers with strict data sovereignty requirements, it means embracing AI while keeping their most sensitive assets in environments they control.
A10 Networks will integrate TrojAI’s capabilities into its security portfolio, allowing customers to run protected AI systems across on-premises, cloud, and hybrid environments.
“Enterprises and public-sector organizations are adopting AI at an unprecedented pace, and they need to innovate securely while maintaining sovereignty over their AI security infrastructure,” said Lee Weiner, chief executive officer of TrojAI. “Together with A10, we can secure and govern the models, agents, and applications becoming core to how organizations operate. I’m proud of what our team has built, and excited to bring these capabilities to A10’s customers and channels.”
A10 Networks said it does not expect the acquisition to materially affect its fiscal year 2026 financial results but expects it to support long-term demand for AI security as companies scale AI deployments over the next two to five years.
