Legit’s new AI Security Command Center provides a dedicated dashboard for application security (AppSec) and product security teams to centrally monitor, triage, and enforce AI security controls throughout fragile, fast-paced development environments.

BOSTON, Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — Legit Security, the definitive application security posture management (ASPM) leader providing end-to-end visibility and protection across the entire software factory, proudly announces the launch of the industry’s first AI Security Command Center. This new, dedicated AI security dashboard provides security teams with a unified console to efficiently and proactively gain visibility to AI used in development and defend against cyberattacks exploiting AI-based applications, dramatically mitigating the use of risky AI models in development environments and application code.

“We’re excited to unveil Legit AI Security Command Center, a clear sign of our commitment to our rapidly growing customer base and their journey with GenAI,” said Roni Fuchs, CEO and Co-Founder of Legit Security. “AI is everywhere now, and developers are adopting it faster than ever to boost their productivity. At Legit Security, we’re all about helping developers move faster while keeping security rock-solid. Adding advanced AI security to our platform was the natural next step. This move really cements our ASPM platform as the go-to choice for any software-driven enterprise.”

In an era where development cycles are accelerating with AI, and attack surfaces continue to grow exponentially, security teams need modern application security tools now more than ever. According to Gartner®, Inc., “By 2025, 80% of the product development lifecycle will make use of generative AI (GenAI) code generation, with developers acting as validators and orchestrators of back-end and front-end components and integrations.”1 With the introduction of the Legit AI Security Command Center, security teams are now equipped with the necessary tools to efficiently integrate AI- and LLM-based capabilities in a controlled and secure manner. Now, they can proactively safeguard AI use across the software development lifecycle (SDLC) and prevent the accidental or intentional misuse of malicious and vulnerable machine learning (ML), GenAI, and large language models (LLMs) — all from a single pane of glass.

With the addition of Legit AI Security Command Center, customers gain:

A dedicated console to manage AI application security posture: Legit AI Security Command Center provides application and product security teams with a powerful, centralized console to operationalize the way they monitor, triage, and report on their AI attack surfaces and prevent the use, or insecure implementation, of risky AI models from compromising their development environments.Deep, centralized visibility of AI model inventories and developer communities: Legit continuously searches across a wide array of AI model inventories and developer communities (e.g., Hugging Face) to dynamically inventory and assess the risk of actively used AI models. Applying the rich, full-stack context of the SDLC, Legit automatically flags and enforces AI security policies whenever new risky AI models appear in the development environment.Enhanced AI risk correlation and prioritization engine: Legit continues to refine and improve its AI security detection capabilities, regularly incorporating new risk attributes and scoring components to better surface, prioritize, and triage malicious and vulnerable AI, ML, and LLMs based on severity and risk impact.ASPM extended to AI security posture management (AI-SPM): Security teams effortlessly drive best-practice DevSecOps with Legit AI Security Command Center by adapting existing ASPM operational workflows, assignments, and governance and control frameworks to more efficiently and consistently address AI security issues across all AI-generated code and AI code assistants (e.g., GitHub Copilot) in use across the SDLC.

“AI in application development is a given now. The pace of innovation with AI is faster than security can handle, and organizations need to catch up fast,” commented Liav Caspi, CTO and Co-Founder of Legit Security. “Our advanced capabilities provide a novel, proactive approach to AI security throughout the SDLC, ensuring our customers can build and deploy secure code without delay or impacting delivery SLAs.”

Legit Security also announced today that it is joining the Coalition for Secure AI (CoSAI), a new, independent industry forum founded by Google dedicated to advancing robust and comprehensive AI security measures in software development and throughout the software supply chain.

Cambodia Takes Bakong Global, Connecting ASEAN with Japan and Africa

Published

By

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia, Nov. 15, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Cambodia is taking its national digital payment system, Bakong, onto the global stage, unveiling initiatives spanning international card payments, stablecoin and bond tokenisation pilots with Japan, and a remittance corridor with Rwanda.

The announcements were made at the inaugural Black Swan Summit Cambodia, co-hosted by the National Bank of Cambodia (NBC) and the Singapore-headquartered Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN), in collaboration with three Cambodian ministries: the Ministry of Post and Telecommunications, the Ministry of Commerce, and the Ministry of Industry, Science, Technology and Innovation.

Held alongside the Sommet de la Francophonie, the two-day summit has attracted over 5,000 registered participants from 60 countries, including policymakers, central bankers, investors and technology leaders, to advance financial connectivity between ASEAN, Africa and other international markets.

From National Payment System to Global Network

Cambodia has built a digital payments infrastructure that has transformed domestic financial access. It is now extending that infrastructure internationally through three initiatives:

Bakong to the World: Bakong users will be able to create Visa or Mastercard virtual cards through the app, enabling contactless payments overseas.

Japan–Cambodia stablecoin remittances: NBC and SBI Group will explore stablecoin-based cross-border transfers, with funds received through Bakong wallets.

Government bond tokenisation: NBC and SBI Bank will pilot the tokenisation of Cambodian government bonds on the Canton Network, exploring new approaches to trading and settlement.

Bakong has also contributed to the growing use of Cambodia’s national currency. The riel’s share of transactions on the platform increased from 17% in 2020 to 58% in 2025.

A Model for Emerging Economies

Cambodia’s financial transformation is rooted in an extraordinary history. Following the destruction of its banking system and the abolition of its currency between 1975 and 1979, the riel was reintroduced on 20 March 1980.

Rather than replicate conventional financial infrastructure, Cambodia has built a digital-first payments ecosystem. Today, Bakong connects approximately 38 million accounts in a country of 17 million people. In 2025, it processed 1.3 billion transactions worth US$241.84 billion, equivalent to approximately 4.5 times Cambodia’s GDP.

For emerging economies seeking to expand financial inclusion, strengthen domestic currencies and connect to global markets, Cambodia offers an example of how public digital infrastructure can accelerate financial development.

Bridging ASEAN and the Francophone World

The summit also marks a step towards connecting Southeast Asia with Francophone economies, particularly in Africa.

Two initiatives signal this ambition:

Cambodia–Rwanda remittance corridor: The National Bank of Cambodia and the National Bank of Rwanda are working to connect Bakong with Rwanda’s RSwitch payment infrastructure, initially facilitating remittances from Cambodia to Rwanda.

Francophone Africa payment connectivity: H.E. Dr. Chea Serey, Governor of the National Bank of Cambodia, underscored the shared vision of exploring cross-border payment connectivity with Francophone African payment systems, with potential initial use cases focusing on remittances and small-value trade.

These initiatives advance South–South cooperation, demonstrating how emerging economies can collaborate directly on interoperable financial infrastructure without relying exclusively on traditional international payment networks.

The summit continues on 16 November, with discussions on economic corridors, payment interoperability, financial resilience and regulatory cooperation.

Leadership Perspectives

H.E. Dr. Chea Serey, Governor of the National Bank of Cambodia, said: “Cambodia knows what it means to lose a financial system and rebuild trust in money. Bakong has expanded access and the use of the riel. Now we are connecting it to the world. Sovereignty and openness are not opposites. Inclusion must be measured not just by whether people can pay, but by whether they can withstand shocks.”

Sopnendu Mohanty, Group CEO, Global Finance & Technology Network (GFTN), said: “Cambodia shows that emerging economies can build financial infrastructure around their own needs rather than inherit systems designed elsewhere. The next challenge is connecting these platforms internationally. From African payment links to Japanese fintech pilots, Black Swan Summit Cambodia demonstrates how emerging markets can open new channels for trade, investment and financial inclusion.”
