Phoenix Security Launches AI Agents to Transform ASPM & Vulnerability Management

Press Release Phoenix Security Three Agents

LONDON, UK & CHARLOTTE, NC – April 2025Phoenix Security, the leader in Application Security Posture Management (ASPM), is raising the bar with the launch of its intelligent, human-aligned AI Agents. These AI Agents for ASPM and Vulnerability Management are designed to work alongside security teams – not replace them. They already show results: 98% less noise, 96–99% fewer criticals, and 430K+ engineering hours reclaimed for customers like ClearBank, Bazaarvoice, and others in retail and banking.

This isn’t about dumping AI on top of vulnerability data. It’s about precision, context and acceleration—turning raw findings into targeted and actionable steps. These steps fit directly into the way teams already operate. With AI Agents for ASPM and Vulnerability Management, this vision becomes a reality.

“Anyone can point an LLM at a CVE feed, have a side panel that creates a pretty diagram. We built AI agents that think like seasoned analysts—connecting vulnerabilities, ingesting context, delivering fixes developers can use immediately,” said Francesco Cipollone, CEO & Co-Founder of Phoenix Security.


Three Agents. One Mission: Multiply Analyst Impact

Phoenix’s AI-powered trio—The Researcher, The Analyzer, and The Remediator—work in concert to take security teams from detection to resolution. They do so with speed and surgical accuracy.

  • The Researcher (available now) continuously monitors real-time threat intelligence, both public and private. It maps methodologies of attacks, such as MITRE&ATTACK, correlating vulnerabilities to active methodologies, ransomware campaigns, known threat actors, and attack methodologies. Proprietary models, developed in partnership with Google, deliver exploitation prediction on ransomware and likelihood of exploitation compensating EPSS metrics. It goes beyond CVE summaries, tracing root causes, and filtering the noise so teams can focus on true business-critical risks.
  • The Analyzer models attack paths within the actual code-to-cloud environment, revealing which vulnerabilities are impacting the major risk categories. It delivers threat modelling and attack scenarios. All this is rooted in real data and real-time context, not just in theory.
  • The Remediator transforms that intelligence into environment-specific actions, leveraging the researcher and the analyzer. It produces executable fixes, delivering remediation plans, and grouping vulnerabilities in plans considering impact. Additionally, it minimizes the noise by removing false positives. The remediation also works alongside you, producing compensating controls considerations based on the deployment context. 

Application exposure management with agentic contextual remediation is crucial for effective ASPM and Vulnerability Management.


Proven Results Across Industries

  • ClearBank cut container noise by 98%, eliminated up to 99% of criticals, and saved $2.6M in analyst time annually—equivalent to four hours per security engineer, every week.
  • Bazaarvoice eradicated all critical vulnerabilities in two weeks and reduced high-risk findings by 40%, creating immediate alignment between security and engineering.
  • Ad-Tech giant achieved a 78% reduction in container vulnerabilities. It also unified code and cloud visibility with AI Agents for ASPM and Vulnerability Management.

The Phoenix Difference: Threat-Centric, Context-Driven, Human-Aligned

While others push generic AI assistants, Phoenix Security’s agents enrich vulnerabilities with threat actor mapping, ransomware risk prediction and contextual remediation intelligence. The approach blends automation with analyst oversight, ensuring decisions are grounded in operational reality.

This agentic architecture, already proven to accelerate remediation 10x faster, allows CISOs and AppSec leaders to keep control while scaling their team’s capability. The use of AI Agents for ASPM and Vulnerability Management ensures that instead of chasing thousands of alerts, teams get a surgical set of prioritised actions per team. These actions are fully enriched with ownership, risk context and actionable fixes.


Phoenix Security’s AI Agents are already available to customers, with the Researcher live today. The Analyzer and Remediator will be rolling out in 2025. The result is faster remediation, measurable risk reduction and teams  spending more time solving problems than sifting through noise.

Most enterprises drown in vulnerability data yet starve for attribution. By mapping ownership, location, exposure, and business impact, Phoenix Security’s ASPM turns that swamp into a laser‑focused task list. Only then do three autonomous agents—Researcher, Analyzer, and Remediator—kick in, collaborating to recommend fixes and workflow automation that 10× security‑engineering output. Skip the context and you’ll waste money, requests, tokens, carbon, and human patience on hallucinated advice. For startups, the focus is clear—establish visibility and ensure core security practices are in place. Application Security Posture Management (ASPM) tools provide a straightforward, automated approach to detecting vulnerabilities and enforcing policies. These solutions help reduce risk quickly without overburdening small security teams. Mature organizations, on the other hand, are tackling a different set of problems. With the sheer number of vulnerabilities and an increasingly complicated threat landscape, enterprises need to fine-tune their approach. The goal shifts toward intelligent remediation, leveraging real-time threat intelligence and advanced risk prioritization. ASPM tools at this stage do more than just detect vulnerabilities—they provide context, enable proactive decision-making, and streamline the entire remediation process. The emergence of AI-assisted code generation has further complicated security in both environments. These tools, while speeding up development, are often responsible for introducing new vulnerabilities into applications at a faster pace than traditional methods. The challenge is clear: AI-generated code can hide flaws that are difficult to catch in the rush of innovation. Both startups and enterprises need to adjust their security posture to account for these new risks. ASPM platforms, like Phoenix Security, provide automated scanning of code before it hits production, ensuring that flaws don’t make it past the first line of defense. Meanwhile, organizations are also grappling with the backlog crisis in the National Vulnerability Database (NVD). A staggering number of CVEs remain unprocessed, leaving many businesses with limited data on which to base their patching decisions. While these delays leave companies vulnerable, Phoenix Security steps in by cross-referencing CVE data with known exploits and live threat intelligence, helping organizations stay ahead despite the lag in official vulnerability reporting. Whether just starting their security program or managing a complex infrastructure, organizations need a toolset that adapts with them. Phoenix Security enables businesses of any size to prioritize vulnerabilities based on actual risk, not just theoretical impact, helping security teams navigate the evolving threat landscape with speed and accuracy.
