HYCU has rolled out a suite of AI Agents within its aiR solution, which conducts queries on multi-source backup datasets to uncover cyber-resilience vulnerabilities that cannot be detected by single-source risk monitoring tools.
HYCU’s R-Cloud delivers protection for over 100 distinct workloads, covering on-premises infrastructure, mainstream public clouds, business-critical SaaS platforms, DevOps toolchains, identity management systems, collaboration software, databases, and AI-based workloads including vector databases and data pipelines.
HYCU Founder and CEO Simon Taylor stated: “For the past 20 years, security solutions monitored in-application activities, while backup tools simply retained data records. These two systems operated in complete isolation. This model was viable back when data changed slowly and only human users interacted with business data. Today, both conditions no longer apply.”
“Driven by rampant SaaS expansion and machine-speed AI agent operations, most enterprises struggle to maintain asset visibility, let alone track hourly data modifications. Modern resilience requires full visibility into historical data states, alteration records, responsible operators, affected data assets, and instant recovery capabilities. aiR provides data intelligence, while R-Cloud enables rapid recovery — this defines next-generation data resilience.”
The aiR platform integrates natural language search for backup repositories, allowing enterprise administrators to conduct plain-language inquiries against backup data sets.
Sample queries include: "Show me all files containing passport numbers across our Salesforce and Microsoft 365
backups." "Flag every permission change in our Okta environment over the last 90 days." "Identify which AI agents
accessed customer records in the past month."
Leveraging raw data stored in HYCU backups, aiR enables one-click data queries covering all historical snapshots with
zero manual configuration. Each embedded AI agent analyzes identical backup repositories to deliver differentiated
analytical outcomes. The built-in intelligent agents include the following modules:
Regulated Data and IP identifies scattered personally identifiable information (PII), protected health information (PHI),
financial assets and intellectual property across protected applications. Insider Risk spots abnormal access behaviors
and anomalous user activity patterns. Configuration Drift compares historical snapshots to trace unauthorized setting
modifications. IAM Posture Management monitors identity deviations and access policy breaches. Anomaly Detection
recognizes irregular data patterns that indicate potential security breaches. Agent Governance tracks AI agent behaviors
across the entire protected IT ecosystem.
HYCU refers to this integrated system as an “agent garden”. Users can further customize the platform by developing exclusive templates to build tailored AI agents, which cater to unique compliance requirements, industry norms and internal operational workflows.
Since each inquiry scans all protected applications simultaneously, HYCU is able to generate thousands of cross-application insights unattainable through standalone monitoring tools. Valuable intelligence has long been dormant within backup data,remaining untapped until now. HYCU positions itself as the first vendor to redefine backups as actionable memory assets,rather than passive insurance copies.
aiR uncovers cross-application correlations that single-workload tools cannot identify, with typical use cases as follows:
An identity adjustment in Okta triggering cascading permission changes across Salesforce and GitHub; An AI agent
extracting customer data from Confluence and exporting processed content to SharePoint; Regulated data migrating
out of authorized applications six months prior and residing in three unmapped storage locations undiscovered by
compliance teams.
HYCU has officially opened an early access waitlist for the aiR platform. Enrolled organizations will join the early adopter program, alongside existing HYCU customers participating in ongoing beta testing.
Industry Comment The adoption of agentic data access layers atop data generation and storage systems is gaining
industry traction. Similar to Scality’s ADI architecture and Veeam’s newly unveiled DataAI Command Platform, this
innovative technical paradigm is highly disruptive. It is anticipated to become a fundamental standard configuration,
or mandatory baseline capability, for all storage, database and backup solution providers in the near future.
