Aqua Security, a global leader in cloud native security, has earned the prestigious title of “Cybersecurity Solution of the Year for Artificial Intelligence” at the ninth annual CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards 2025. The awards program, run by CyberSecurity Breakthrough, honors the most forward-thinking organizations and technologies shaping the cybersecurity landscape worldwide.

The company’s winning innovation, Aqua Secure AI, is a new solution that provides complete protection for AI applications running on Kubernetes and other cloud native environments. It offers smooth AI protection at the application layer without needing code changes or impacting performance.

Through its intelligent architecture, Secure AI combines deep development visibility with advanced runtime defense, monitoring model activity, and prompt behavior in real time. The system automatically applies security policies that take the context into account. This helps prevent risks like prompt injection, jailbreak attempts, and unsafe model interactions. With complete workload visibility via its embedded agent, Aqua enables unified governance, continuous monitoring, and full lifecycle security for all AI-driven workloads.

“We developed Secure AI to close the widening gap between modern AI security challenges and the limitations of traditional tools,” said Dror Davidoff, co-founder and CEO of Aqua Security. “As over a billion new AI applications are projected to emerge by 2028 – most running in containers – our mission remains to secure every layer of this expanding ecosystem.”

The CyberSecurity Breakthrough Awards 2025 saw thousands of nominations from over 20 countries, representing both emerging startups and established global enterprises. The winners were honored for developing next-generation cybersecurity technologies that improve protection in today’s complicated threat environment.

“Aqua Secure AI represents the future of intelligent security,” noted Steve Johansson, Managing Director at CyberSecurity Breakthrough. “It empowers organizations to innovate with generative AI confidently while maintaining complete control. In a crowded market of fragmented tools, Aqua stands out with a unified, scalable, and deeply embedded approach to securing AI and cloud-native systems.”
