Odyssey Cybersecurity announces a strategic collaboration with Airia aimed at helping organisations securely adopt and scale AI as it takes on an increasingly important role across business operations.
The rapid adoption of AI models, agents and applications is creating a new risk landscape for enterprises. The use of multiple models and tools, often beyond centralised organisational oversight, is increasing requirements around data protection, access control and governance. At the same time, shadow AI and unauthorised AI usage make it increasingly difficult for organisations to maintain a complete view of their enterprise AI environment.
Airia provides a unified platform combining AI security, governance and orchestration, enabling organisations to centrally manage models, agents, applications, data and workflows. Through a common control layer, organisations can apply security policies, access controls and guardrails throughout the AI lifecycle, helping mitigate risks including sensitive data leakage, unsafe model interactions and exposure of confidential information.
The collaboration with Airia strengthens Odyssey’s ability to integrate AI risk into an organisation’s broader cybersecurity and cyber resilience framework. By combining its expertise in cybersecurity, risk and enterprise implementations with Airia’s capabilities, Odyssey can support organisations seeking to adopt multiple AI models and agents while maintaining visibility, security and consistent governance across their environment.
This approach is becoming increasingly important as AI moves beyond isolated experimental use cases to become an integral part of day-to-day business operations. In this environment, AI security and governance are becoming fundamental requirements for adoption at scale. Airia’s position in this field is further reflected in its recognition as a Visionary in the 2026 Gartner® Magic Quadrant™ for AI Governance Platforms.
Christos Onoufriou, CEO of Odyssey Cybersecurity, said, “AI adoption is accelerating rapidly, but so too is the risk landscape organisations are being asked to manage. The challenge is not to slow innovation down, but to create the environment in which it can develop securely. Our collaboration with Airia strengthens our ability to address AI security and governance as an integral part of our customers’ broader cybersecurity and resilience strategy.”
Kevin Kiley, CEO of Airia, said, “As AI becomes an increasingly important part of business operations, organisations need a consistent way to understand what is being used, how it is being used and under which policies. Our collaboration with Odyssey combines Airia’s AI security, governance and capabilities with deep cybersecurity and enterprise risk expertise, helping enterprises move forward with AI with greater security and control.”
