Uptycs, which provides a unified cloud native application protection platform (CNAPP) and extended detection and response (XDR), has partnered with SAP to deploy verifiable AI analysts that augment SOC teams, enabling analysts to concentrate on advanced threat hunting and deeper attack path analysis while improving overall security coverage and resilience, officials said.
Uptycs’ AI analyst platform, Juno, was designed to hunt threats across cloud-native and on-premises environments. In collaboration with SAP, users are able to receive “McKinsey-level” strategic risk reports produced in minutes, with every deployment generating hyperlinked citations tied to each organization’s private telemetry to ensure insights are verifiable and actionable, officials said.
As a strategic partner, SAP employs more than 110,000 people across 150-plus countries. It delivers cloud services, AI, ERP, and enterprise applications for hundreds of thousands of customers worldwide, while it shifts toward a cloud-first subscription model, officials said.
“Security in today’s cloud‑centric world demands tools that not only detect threats, but elevate strategic decision‑making,” said Roland Costea, CISO and EVP, 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.”
With a unified ontology of 150,000 telemetry columns—a structured map that explains what everything means and how it relates to everything else—Juno is designed to provide a level of verifiable accuracy that allows security leads to act as business strategists rather than technical responders. Across the automotive and financial sectors, for example, teams are using Juno to perform forensic investigations that previously required senior architects, officials said.
When asked simple and clear questions, the platform is designed to provide teams with diagnoses verified against external references like CVE databases to ensure AI guidance isn’t hallucinated.
“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.”
