AI Is Redefining Exposure Management – And Brinqa Is Leading the Shift

Exposure Management is undergoing a long overdue transformation. For years, large and complex enterprises have had to stitch together dozens of siloed scanners, cloud platforms, code analysis tools, identity systems, and remediation processes – each producing its own version of risk. The result: fragmentation, conflicting data, inconsistent ownership, redundant work, and limited visibility across environments that constantly change.

This approach no longer works. The next era isn’t about collecting vulnerabilities; it’s about connecting intelligence, teams, and processes into a unified exposure management foundation. It requires consolidating disparate signals into a governed, continuously updated source of truth that elevates every security program, accelerates remediation, and enables AI to operate safely and effectively.

This is where Brinqa excels. For more than a decade, we’ve focused on solving the hardest exposure management challenges for the largest and most complex organizations. In 2025 we accelerated that mission. With new platform capabilities, AI-powered experiences, and deeper partnerships, Brinqa is helping global enterprises unify fragmented technologies and processes into a complete, continuous, and intelligent exposure management program. Our December releases expand that mission and set the stage for a more transformative 2026.

A Modern Cloud-Native Architecture for Enterprise Scale

This month, Brinqa introduced the next-generation Brinqa Platform architecture designed for dynamic cloud scaling, high resiliency, and AI-driven workloads across global enterprise environments.

Key innovations include:

• Elastic compute and data scaling
• An AI-ready data fabric used by BrinqaIQ, AI Attribution Engine, and the upcoming BrinqaDL
• Enhanced dashboards, reporting, and export automation

This modern architecture allows customers to scale from millions to billions of findings while maintaining performance, consistency, and continuous processing across the exposure lifecycle. It also provides the operational core for the wave of AI and analytics enhancements arriving in 2026.

Expanding the Brinqa Ecosystem

Solving Exposure Management at scale requires more than centralizing data – it requires a connected ecosystem spanning detection, enrichment, analysis, and remediation.

This year Brinqa expanded its partner ecosystem with organizations delivering next-generation capabilities:

• Torq: The Torq platform turns Brinqa’s risk insights into autonomous responses that locks down risk across teams and environments, ensuring every issue is remediated at machine speed.
• Endor Labs: By integrating intelligence across code, dependencies, and containers into the Brinqa Cyber Risk Graph, organizations can effectively prioritize and remediate exploitable application risks, reducing exposure while minimizing distractions for developers.
• Cycode: Through deeper integration with Cycode’s Application Security Platform, Brinqa enhances security resilience by mapping software supply chain and code vulnerabilities against runtime exposures, cloud posture, and broader security domains delivering clearer risk signals and faster remediation

Together, these partnerships reinforce Brinqa’s role as the enterprise Threat and Exposure Control Plane – connecting detection, intelligence, enrichment, and action within a unified operating model.

BrinqaIQ: Now Multilingual in 140+ Languages and Powered by MCP

Our vision is to make exposure intelligence accessible to every stakeholder.

This December, BrinqaIQ adds major advancements:

• Support for 140+ languages

Global teams can explore and understand exposure data in their preferred language, with responses grounded in governed platform metadata.

• Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration

MCP enables BrinqaIQ and connected systems to securely interact with Brinqa data, third-party tools, and contextual plugins while preserving enterprise governance and RBAC.

Together, these enhancements position BrinqaIQ as an enterprise-wide copilot that increases accessibility, reduces complexity, and expands the reach of exposure intelligence.

AI Advancements for Speed, Completeness, and Accuracy

As attack surfaces expand, organizations receive massive volumes of findings from cloud platforms, scanners, AppSec pipelines, container registries, identity systems, and SaaS applications. These streams rarely align, and inconsistent metadata slows prioritization and remediation.

The Brinqa AI Center of Excellence continues to address this through AI-driven normalization and enrichment.

AI Attribution Engine

AI Attribution Engine enriches findings with missing metadata by combining Brinqa’s unified dataset with advanced AI models. It infers:

• Asset and application relationships
• Business hierarchy mappings
• Owners and accountable teams

This reduces manual cleanup and ensures each finding is complete and ready for prioritization.

AI-Powered Deduplication Modes Arriving Early 2026

Brinqa is introducing Deduplication Modes that consolidate overlapping or inconsistent scanner findings into unified exposure records. Modes include:

• Deterministic: By CVE, By Unique Finding, By Remediation Action
• AI-driven Semantic Deduplication for cloud, AppSec, SBOM, dependency, and EASM data

These capabilities deliver:

• Continuous ingestion with near-instant consolidation
• High-accuracy clustering with fewer false duplicates
• Rich, normalized metadata
• Transparent audit logs

Organizations gain a trustworthy source of truth that reduces noise and strengthens decision-making.

BrinqaDL: The AI-Ready Data Fabric Coming Q1 2026

Modern Exposure Management requires long-term context, historical patterns, and a scalable analytics backbone. BrinqaDL delivers:

• A purpose-built Exposure Management data lake
• One- to five-year retention windows with trending and baselines
• A unified schema built for analytics, BI, and AI workloads

BrinqaDL expands what organizations can measure, analyze, and automate while reducing load on operational systems. It establishes the data foundation required for predictive analytics, smarter prioritization, and organization-wide risk storytelling.

Looking Ahead to 2026

The capabilities delivered in Q4 – combined with what’s coming early next year – reflect a clear vision for the future of Exposure Management.

A unified system that:

• Understands every asset and vulnerability
• Enriches data with AI-driven intelligence
• Prioritizes risk based on real conditions
• Consolidates findings into actionable units
• Automates remediation with precision
• Scales effortlessly across global enterprises

2026 will be the year exposure intelligence becomes continuous, connected, and universally accessible. Brinqa remains committed to delivering the unified data foundation, AI capabilities, and partner ecosystem needed to support this transformation for the world’s most complex organizations.
