BELLEVUE, WASHINGTON / ACCESS Newswire / December 9, 2025 / CoreStack today announced the release of a major new, agentic, AI-powered version of its multi-cloud Assessments platform, delivering transformative intelligence, automation, and context-aware remediation to Managed Service Providers (MSPs), Systems Integrators (SIs), and Enterprises. This generational upgrade reimagines how organizations evaluate cloud environments by replacing manual, episodic assessments with intelligent, continuous, and automated governance workflows.

As multi-cloud architectures grow more complex, traditional assessment processes struggle to keep pace. Fragmented tools, inconsistent frameworks, and time-consuming evidence collection frequently slow cloud transformation initiatives. The newly enhanced platform addresses these challenges by combining a powerful multi-cloud assessment engine with CoreStack’s latest agentic AI capabilities, enabling users to accelerate assessments, surface deeper contextual insights, and operationalize remediation faster and more accurately than ever before.

Intelligent Multi-Cloud Assessment, Purpose-Built for Scale

The upgraded platform supports assessments across AWS, Azure, GCP, OCI, and custom frameworks through a unified workflow. Automated scans use a library of 3,000+ policies to provide deep visibility into risks, misconfigurations, and optimization opportunities. Enhanced reporting delivers clear visualizations, executive-ready summaries, and detailed exports for informed decision-making. Multi-tenant hierarchy and identity isolation enable partners to deliver assessments at scale while maintaining strong security and separation across customer environments.

These improvements significantly reduce assessment cycle times while ensuring consistency, accuracy, and repeatability across organizations of all sizes.

Breakthrough Agentic AI Capabilities

The release introduces CoreStack’s most advanced AI features to date, establishing a new standard for intelligent assessment operations:

• Assessments AI Agent – A conversational, intent-driven assistant that plans assessments, orchestrates scans, interprets findings, and initiates remediation actions through natural language or API. It reduces manual work, improves precision, and accelerates issue resolution.

• Agentic Feed – A dynamic intelligence stream that proactively alerts users to posture changes, new risks, anomalies, and opportunities for improvement. It shifts assessments from periodic snapshots to always-current, subscription-driven intelligence.

• MCP Integration – Enables partners and enterprises to embed assessment capabilities directly into their own platforms, dashboards, and internal AI agents, unlocking scalable assessment-as-a-service offerings and tighter operational integration.

These agentic capabilities transform the assessment from reactive to predictive and from manual to automated, ensuring cloud posture is aligned with organizational goals.

From Assessment to Continuous Governance

The enhanced platform provides a seamless path from insight to action. Remediation can be triggered through the AI Agent, the platform UI, or MCP workflows. When integrated with CoreStack Cumulus, assessment outcomes flow into guardrails, policy enforcement, and compliance programs, enabling continuous governance and faster cloud transformation.

CEO Statement

“Assessments must evolve as rapidly as the cloud environments they evaluate,” said Ezhilarasan (Ez) Natarajan, Founder & CEO of CoreStack. “This new agentic, AI-powered release transforms assessments into an intelligent, automated, and continuous capability, empowering organizations to assess faster, remediate smarter, and govern with confidence.”

Availability

The new agentic, AI-powered Assessments platform is available immediately worldwide as part of the CoreStack Cloud Governance & Security Platform and through major cloud marketplaces.

BELLEVUE, WA / ACCESS Newswire / December 2, 2025 / CoreStack today announced the full public release of Graphion™, a Cloud-Native and AI-Native Cloud-Native Application Protection Platform (CNAPP) built to secure the hyper-connected, supply-chain-driven world of modern cloud applications. As enterprises assemble software from distributed components and deploy into fast-changing multi-cloud environments, Graphion introduces a fundamentally new approach to understanding and mitigating cloud risk.

Graphion constructs a continuously updated, multi-layered graph of the entire cloud ecosystem, mapping code, containers, Kubernetes clusters, APIs, identities, and configurations into a single intelligence model that evolves with every change. Instead of treating vulnerabilities and misconfigurations as isolated findings, Graphion shows how issues relate, how they propagate, and which ones truly matter. This gives security teams the context required to prioritize the risks with real business impact.

A Unified View of the Software and Infrastructure Supply Chain
A defining innovation of Graphion is its integration of Software Bills of Materials (SBOM) with Infrastructure Bills of Materials (IBOM), linking what developers build with what operators deploy and what runs in production. With this combined view, enterprises can identify vulnerabilities earlier, trace supply-chain weaknesses to runtime assets, and detect code-to-cloud drift before exposure occurs. This SBOM+IBOM approach provides end-to-end traceability aligned with emerging software supply-chain mandates and gives organizations a practical, scalable way to operationalize them.

Ontology-Driven LCGM That Adds Context and Reduces Hallucinations
Graphion’s ontology-based Large Cloud Governance Model (LCGM) brings the missing layer of knowledge and application context absent in most security tools today. By understanding asset semantics, cloud relationships, and operational intent, the ontology constrains AI interpretation, limiting hallucinations while delivering precise, contextual recommendations.

AI-Native Security That Reduces Noise and Accelerates Response
Built with embedded agentic AI, Graphion learns each organization’s environment, understands business criticality, and provides explainable remediation paths. Rather than generating more alerts, Graphion reduces noise by interpreting relationships across assets, identities, configurations, and vulnerabilities-surfacing only the issues that matter. The AI-native design also automates guardrails, drift detection, and policy validation, enabling organizations to maintain continuous Authorization to Operate (cATO) and keep pace with modern DevSecOps pipelines.

Purpose-Built for an Era of Cloud Complexity
As cloud environments shift continuously and supply-chain attacks surge, traditional static tools cannot keep up. Graphion provides the connected, adaptive, continuously validating security architecture required to operate confidently in this new reality-enabling organizations to build, deploy, and scale cloud applications with far greater trust and velocity.

CEO Statement
“Cloud environments are now too dynamic and too interconnected for yesterday’s security approaches,” said Ezhilarasan (Ez) Natarajan, Founder & CEO of CoreStack. “Graphion was built to be Cloud-Native and AI-Native, delivering continuous graph intelligence, unified supply-chain visibility, and ontology-driven agentic AI that turns complexity into clarity. With Graphion, enterprises can secure every connection that matters and accelerate cloud initiatives with confidence.”

Graphion™ is available immediately worldwide as part of the CoreStack Cloud Governance & Security Platform.
