ControlUp, which specializes in digital employee experience (DEX) management, has acquired Unipath, an AI-powered security automation and SOAR platform. The acquisition is part of ControlUp’s autonomous endpoint management (AEM) strategy, extending its AI capabilities with a new agentic AI framework that’s designed to learn from employee interactions, autonomously diagnoses issues and generate remediations without requiring IT teams to design, script or maintain automation workflows, the company said.
The addition of Unipath enables ControlUp to move beyond traditional rules- and script-based automation to a self-learning remediation model.
“We’re taking AEM from vision to reality for our customers, delivering real value to IT teams and better experiences for employees,” said Jed Ayres, CEO of ControlUp. “By bringing Unipath’s agentic AI into the ControlUp platform, we can resolve issues directly and in real-time, often without involving the help desk. And we’re doing this with the governance and security standards required by banks, hospitals and global enterprises, so a self-healing workplace becomes not just possible, but practical and trusted.”
“Unipath was founded to simplify automation so security teams can handle more with less effort,” said Mike Admon, founder and CEO of Unipath. “By combining our agentic AI with ControlUp’s real-time DEX platform, we’re creating something entirely new. We are delivering technology that understands the problem, determines the action and creates the resolution on its own. We’re joining ControlUp because we share a vision for AI that reduces complexity and helps organizations operate without friction.”
Unipath’s platform is designed to significantly reduce incident response time through automated analysis, integrated intelligence and a data layer that aligns inputs from dozens of systems into a single operational view, officials said.
The new capabilities will extend ControlUp’s AI roadmap across three layers: intelligent insight, conversational AI and self-service, and agentic AI and automation, the company said.
Unipath capabilities will be integrated into the ControlUp ONE platform in phases throughout 2026. Early access will be available to select customers and partners, officials said.
