Expanded Salt Workflows close the gap between detection and resolution through automated enforcement, threat containment, and risk remediation across the enterprise

PALO ALTO, Calif., Oct. 28, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Salt Security today announced Autonomous Defense for the Salt Agentic Security Platform, enabled by an expansion of Salt Workflows. Instead of stopping at an alert or ticket, Salt can automatically trigger defensive controls to block malicious activity, revoke risky access, and initiate remediation across the systems customers already use.

Salt Security Extends Agentic Security Platform with Autonomous Defense

Security teams have spent years improving detection. But detection is not resolution. When a risky agent, vulnerable API, or active attack is identified, response still often depends on manual handoffs and changes across disconnected systems. As AI accelerates the discovery and exploitation of weaknesses, that delay becomes a security risk of its own.

“Security cannot move at ticket speed when attackers move at machine speed. Autonomous Defense turns Salt’s security intelligence into action, from blocking malicious activity and revoking risky access to enforcing protections through controls enterprises already use.”

Aner Gelman, VP Product, Salt Security

From detection to defense

Autonomous Defense builds on the breadth and depth of the Salt Agentic Security Platform. The Agentic Security Graph connects AI agents, MCP servers, tools, and downstream APIs with context from exposure, source code, configuration, and runtime behavior. This intelligence helps identify dangerous paths and informs the policy-driven actions customers choose to enforce.

Using Salt Workflows and connected controls, security teams can:

Revoke risky agent and MCP tool access. Disable unauthorized MCP connections, quarantine shadow tools, or remove excessive privileges through supported management controls.Block active exploitation. Push targeted blocking rules or virtual protections to existing WAFs, API gateways, and other enforcement points.Enforce AI and data protections. Update supported guardrail policies, block unsafe requests, or redact sensitive data through connected gateways.Remediate posture gaps. Trigger configuration changes to close exposed APIs, reinstate rate limits, or restore approved security settings.

BEFORE / WITH SALT AUTONOMOUS DEFENSE

BEFORE: DETECTION AND HANDOFF

WITH SALT: AUTOMATED ENFORCEMENT

Detect → Manually triage → Open ticket → Risk remains

Detect → Graph + Workflows → Block / Revoke / Remediate

Illustrative workflow. Actions depend on customer policies and connected enforcement capabilities.

SIEM enrichment, ServiceNow or Jira tickets, notifications, and audit logging remain available, but are no longer the end state. They can be part of an automated response that actively contains a threat or initiates remediation.

Autonomous when appropriate. Controlled when required.

Customers define which findings trigger immediate action, which changes require approval, and which enforcement points are used. This allows security teams to respond at machine speed while retaining control over sensitive operations and preserving an audit trail.

Flexible automation built into the platform

Salt has embedded a visual, drag-and-drop workflow builder directly into the Agentic Security Platform. With 200+ out-of-the-box connectors and a marketplace of Salt-built integrations, customers can design enforcement, governance, and remediation workflows across the tools they already use, without complex custom development.

Workflows can span security, infrastructure, IT, and collaboration systems without requiring organizations to standardize on a single gateway, agent framework, or response product.

Closing the AI speed gap

Agentic systems can interact with multiple business systems and take consequential actions continuously. At the same time, offensive AI can accelerate reconnaissance, vulnerability discovery, and exploitation. Salt combines the Agentic Security Graph, posture intelligence, runtime detection, and automated enforcement so teams can move from identifying a risky path to acting on it in the same operational loop.

“An alert doesn’t stop an attack. Action does. Salt secures the entire agentic path, from AI agents and MCPs to downstream APIs. Autonomous Defense puts that intelligence to work, helping security teams stop attacks and close dangerous paths before they cause business impact.”

Roey Eliyahu, Co-founder and CEO, Salt Security

Salt Workflows is available to Salt Security customers today. Salt is migrating existing workflows to the new experience, with support for customer-specific requirements.

The workflow spans literature analysis, candidate design, experimental planning and industrial decision support, extending AI4S into materials research

SHENZHEN, China, Oct. 30, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Wenge AI demonstrated an AI-assisted hydrogen-production catalyst design workflow supported by ScienceOra at the 2026 Tencent Global Digital Ecosystem Summit. The demonstration showed how AI for Science (AI4S) can connect literature analysis, catalyst candidate design, experimental planning and industrial decision support, helping materials researchers translate scientific evidence into actionable research plans.

ScienceOra is Wenge AI’s intelligent research decision platform, built on the ScienceOne Scientific Foundation Model. For specialist research tasks such as materials development, the platform brings together scientific models, professional literature, research data and tools to support information access, research-plan development and scientific decision-making.

From literature analysis to catalyst candidate design

The demonstration focused on the design of a high-entropy alloy catalyst for the alkaline hydrogen evolution reaction. To address the need for high activity and durability, ScienceOra searched professional literature and drew on published research methods and elemental properties to support the development of candidate designs. It also cross-checked optimization proposals against relevant literature, providing researchers with references that could be reviewed and verified.

Rather than simply generating material formulations, the workflow connects documentary evidence, materials knowledge and specific design objectives to support more targeted analysis of candidate solutions. Researchers remain responsible for assessing scientific validity and determining subsequent research directions.

From experimental planning to industrial decision support

For experimental planning, ScienceOra can assist in developing research protocols around candidate designs, helping researchers organize experimental variables and producing testing standard operating procedures (SOPs) and related reference information for subsequent validation.

For industrial applications, the platform can also support comparative analysis across dimensions such as the feasibility of scaled hydrogen production, performance at industrially relevant current densities, durability, raw-material availability and compatibility with mass-production synthesis processes. It can then assist in establishing decision priorities, screening criteria and process-improvement recommendations.

Candidate designs, experimental plans, process recommendations and references can be consolidated into a structured research report, helping R&D teams assess scientific evidence alongside engineering constraints. AI provides analytical and decision support, while experimental testing and scientific validation remain essential parts of materials research.

Previously disclosed collaboration reports design efficiency and activity improvements

In a previously disclosed industry–research collaboration on hydrogen-production catalyst design, ScienceOra supported literature analysis and research-plan development. The collaboration reported a 38% improvement in catalyst activity and reduced the design stage from several months to 30 minutes. The case illustrates the potential of domain-specific AI to connect scientific literature, research design and engineering requirements.

ScienceOra was recently made available on Tencent WorkBuddy, with an initial offering of more than 30 research expert agents and skills covering literature analysis, research hypotheses, plan design, modeling and simulation, validation analysis and research communication. The conference demonstration further illustrated how ScienceOra can be applied to specialist materials research, as AI4S moves beyond general information processing toward support for research workflows and industrial R&D decision-making.
