Launches Secure

• Cognizant introduced Cognizant Secure AI Services on May 11, 2026, offering comprehensive security for enterprise AI systems throughout development and deployment lifecycle. • The platform operates on "provable trust" principles, monitoring AI models, data, and pipelines for manipulation attempts and unsafe actions while maintaining audit-ready compliance evidence. • The service specifically addresses security challenges from agentic and autonomous AI systems, providing continuous runtime monitoring to prevent unauthorized behavior and ensure governance requirements.

• Cognizant announced the launch of Cognizant Secure AI Services on May 7, 2026, from its Teaneck, N.J. headquarters to help enterprises secure and scale AI and agentic systems. • The new integrated offering provides AI-powered defense across operations and supports provable trust practices for AI systems, targeting businesses adopting advanced AI technologies. • This development matters as it addresses rising cybersecurity risks in agentic AI deployment, enabling safer scaling amid growing threats from autonomous AI applications.

• President Trump directed U.S. Central Command to initiate Project Freedom, a defensive operation to restart free flow of commerce through the Strait of Hormuz amid Iranian threats to commercial shipping. • Secretary of War Pete Hegseth clarified the mission is temporary, focused solely on protecting innocent vessels, distinct from Operation Epic Fury, with U.S. forces establishing a protective zone as shown on operational maps. • The announcement follows President Trump's notification to Congress on Friday that hostilities starting February 28 had terminated, coinciding with the 60-day War Powers Resolution deadline.
