Introducing Impart AI: Runtime Protection at AI Speed

Defend at the speed of AI

Attackers code with AI. Developers build with AI.

Yet defenders are trapped in the last mile: that gap between knowing what to protect and actually protecting it.

You understand the threats. You have the tools. But tuning them for your applications takes weeks. So defenses sit in monitoring mode while attackers move at machine speed.

Today, we're announcing three ways Impart is solving this problem and investing in AI to make an impact and deliver value for security teams.

  • Impart.ai: Our new home reflects our commitment. Moving to impart.ai signals where we're investing: AI-native security that accelerates defensive engineering.
  • NVIDIA Inception Program: We are now a member of the NVIDIA Inception program for cutting-edge AI startups. This gives us access to advanced AI infrastructure and expertise, ensuring Impart AI delivers the performance and reliability runtime environments demand.
  • Impart AI (Beta): The intelligent workspace security teams have been asking for. Design, test, and deploy runtime protections conversationally across applications, APIs, and AI interfaces.

A New Domain Name

Moving to impart.ai isn't just a rebrand. It signals where security needs to go: AI-native workflows that make defenders as fast as attackers.

Over the past year, we have seen a clear shift in customer expectations. They no longer want tools that simply report problems. They want systems that empower them to act.

Security teams told us:

  • "We want to write policies like we write code, iteratively and collaboratively."
  • "We need AI in our workflow, but it has to be explainable and under our control."
  • "We're tired of black boxes. We want AI that works with us, not around us."

Security teams are already using AI for threat hunting, policy tuning, and incident response. But most tools treat AI as an add-on, not a foundation. Impart.ai signals our commitment to building security solutions where AI is native to the platform, built for an increasingly AI centric world, and where protection needs to evolve quickly.

NVIDIA Inception Membership

The NVIDIA Inception program means faster, more powerful protection for Impart customers. Our membership gives us access to NVIDIA's latest AI infrastructure and developer tools, which translates directly into performance improvements you'll see in policy validation speed, threat detection accuracy, and runtime response times. We can now leverage cutting-edge SDKs and model libraries to enhance Impart AI's intelligence, while preferred pricing on NVIDIA hardware allows us to pass cost efficiencies to customers through competitive pricing.

The program's technical expertise and cloud resources enable us to rapidly test and deploy new capabilities. This means when new attack vectors emerge, we can update defenses and push improvements to your environment faster. Perhaps most importantly, NVIDIA's ecosystem connections give us early access to emerging AI technologies and best practices, ensuring Impart AI stays ahead of both the threat landscape and your developers' evolving workflows.

Impart AI delivers, combining production-grade AI infrastructure with the precision and control security teams require, turning defensive engineering into a creative, collaborative discipline again. Impart AI builds on the runtime architecture trusted by leading enterprises to protect apps and APIs at scale, while delivering the speed, observability, and GitOps control modern teams demand.

Introducing Impart AI

Impart AI brings together advanced capabilities from across the Impart platform into a single collaborative environment designed for modern security teams. At the core of Impart AI is the belief that protection should evolve like code. Teams can continuously design, test, and refine policies, using conversational inputs to guide AI-powered policy creation and validation.

Vibe Coding Workflows

Vibe Coding workflows are a response to how we see most teams creating security policies today - iteratively, and through natural language. When combined with the stability, reliability, and stability of the Impart platform, vibe coding workflows can drastically increase the pace of detection and response engineering without compromising quality. With vibe coding workflows, security teams can:

  • Write policies conversationally: Describe what you want to protect in plain language. Impart AI generates the corresponding runtime rules
  • Generate regression test cases: AI creates comprehensive test cases to validate policy logic against real traffic patterns and edge cases
  • Safely deploy protections: Policies are continuously validated against safety constraints before moving to production

As one early customer put it, “We can now adapt to new attack patterns in hours, not days.”

Security Assistants

Impart Security Assistants are single purpose AI tools trained for specific security tasks. These are tasks that require some level of expertise and training, that foundation models aren't able to complete off the shelf. With Security Assistants, Impart has done the hard work of prompt engineering, fine tuning, training, and testing that is required to get high quality results so that security teams can trust the AI outputs. With Security Assistants, security teams can:

  • Draft and improve runtime rules for OWASP Top 10 and API vulnerabilities
  • Understand your attack surface and application intent
  • Automatically tune false positives with out-of-band AI detection

Agentic Workflows

Agentic workflows are the orchestration layer that ties together Impart Assistants and other AI tools. These take the form in two flavors:

In the Impart Console, Impart Agent acts as your command center by understanding your intent, routing to specialized assistants, and coordinating workflows across investigation, policy building, and posture analysis.

Outside of the Impart Console, security teams can plug Impart Assistants into their agentic workflows using Impart MCP:

  • Tool use for Impart APIs and Impart Assistants in Cursor, Claude, or any MCP-compatible AI workbench
  • Securely access your runtime data directly from your agentic workbench
  • Complete agentic workflows that combine your tools with Impart's security expertise

No matter where you're most productive, Impart AI meets you there with the trust, reliability, and performance needed for runtime environments.

Getting Started

New to Impart: Visit impart.ai/product/impart-ai to learn more and sign-up for a demo with an Impart Security Expert.

See Impart AI live: Visit us at OWASP Global AppSec DC (Nov 6–7) in the Archives Room and at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America (Nov 11-13).

What's Next

Our membership in the Nvidia Inception program accelerates our roadmap. We're expanding assistant capabilities and deepening integrations with development workflows, backed by the AI infrastructure needed to operate at production scale.

Impart AI delivers the platform to allow defensive engineering to catch up with modern development, where protection moves at the speed of AI.
