Uptycs, a cloud-native cybersecurity platform company, has announced that it has entered into a strategic collaboration with SAP to introduce verifiable AI-driven analysts that would help improve enterprise cybersecurity. This collaboration is focused on delivering high-end AI capabilities that would help organizations address the complexities of cybersecurity threats in an efficient manner.
This initiative is focused on delivering AI-driven “virtual employees” that would help Security Operations Center (SOC) teams address various cybersecurity challenges. This would help security analysts focus on high-priority activities such as advanced threat hunting and attack path analysis by automating investigative processes.
At the heart of the partnership is Uptycs’ Juno AI Analyst Platform, which was initially intended to identify and analyze threats in both cloud-native infrastructures and on-premise environments. With the integration into the SAP ecosystem, the Juno platform is now poised to serve as a strategic cybersecurity advisor that can transform raw data into actionable insights for the enterprise.
One of the most notable benefits that the partnership brings to the table is the generation of enterprise-level cybersecurity reports within minutes. In the traditional sense, generating such reports could take several weeks as the enterprise had to rely on manual analysis. With the Juno platform, enterprises can now enjoy a comprehensive strategic risk report that includes hyperlinks to relevant references directly from the enterprise’s internal data.
Another factor that is contributing to the acceleration of the adoption of SAP technology is the scale of SAP’s operations. It has operations in more than 150 countries, has over 110,000 professionals in its workforce, and offers enterprise applications, cloud services, and AI technologies that help hundreds of thousands of organizations around the world run mission-critical business applications.
“Security in today’s cloud-centric world demands tools that not only detect threats, but elevate strategic decision-making,” said Roland Costea, CISO and Executive Vice President, Enterprise Cloud Services at SAP. “Our partnership with Uptycs reflects a shared commitment to verifiable, intelligent cybersecurity solutions that empower teams to stay ahead of risk while transforming how enterprise security operates.”

The announcement comes at a time when the world is dealing with the rapid growth of AI-enabled cyber threats and the growing presence of autonomous AI agents within the enterprise world. The “OpenClaw moment” discussion within the industry has brought to the forefront the rapid evolution of agentic AI systems and the risks that these systems could bypass traditional security measures.
To combat these issues, the Juno platform utilizes a “Glass Box” approach to security, which emphasizes transparency and evidence-based decision-making. Unlike traditional AI systems that ask users to blindly trust the results provided to them, the Juno platform enables security teams to “trace back every recommendation to the data that was used in the analysis.”
The platform utilizes a unified ontology that structures the relationships between 150,000 telemetry data fields. This enables the platform to provide highly accurate insights. It also assists security teams in understanding complex attack paths and vulnerabilities within complex enterprise environments.
Therefore, various organizations from different industries, such as the automotive sector and the financial sector, are utilizing the platform for forensic investigations and security assessments that would normally require the involvement of senior cybersecurity architects. This is due to the fact that the platform assists security teams in asking straightforward questions to receive diagnostic insights that are validated against external vulnerability references such as CVEs to avoid the chances of inaccurate responses from the AI.
“The industry is tired of ‘Security Slop’ and AI that guesses,” said Ganesh Pai, CEO and Founder of Uptycs. “This partnership demonstrates how we can safely combine human and AI capabilities, moving from reactive security to strategic transformation.”
With the capabilities of both SAP’s global infrastructure for enterprises and Uptycs’ AI-powered threat hunting platform, the partnership aims to revolutionize the way organizations think about cybersecurity. By moving away from a reactive incident response approach, organizations can now use a proactive and intelligence-driven approach to security, backed by transparent and verifiable AI.
