BrinqaIQ: Explainable AI for Enterprise Exposure Management

AI is one of the hottest topics in cybersecurity today. Vendors often promise “black box” solutions that claim to automate everything. But global enterprises know that what truly matters is trust, transparency, and measurable results – not hype.

That’s why Brinqa is introducing BrinqaIQ, the first release from our new AI Center of Excellence.

Unlike bolt-on chatbots or marketing checkboxes, BrinqaIQ is built directly into the trusted Brinqa Exposure Management Platform. It enhances – not replaces – unified vulnerability and exposure management programs by making them more intuitive, explainable, and effective.

What Is BrinqaIQ?

BrinqaIQ is a conversational AI assistant that gives enterprises a simpler, smarter way to interact with the Brinqa Platform. By combining self-hosted open-source models with Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), BrinqaIQ provides accurate, explainable responses grounded in platform data. All results are validated before being displayed—ensuring enterprises can trust the insights that drive their decisions.

Key capabilities include:

• Natural language to validated BQL: Users type questions in plain English. BrinqaIQ translates them into Brinqa Query Language (BQL) before execution, removing complexity and reducing errors.
• Documentation Q&A: Direct answers from Brinqa documentation accelerate onboarding and reduce support overhead.
• CVE exploration: Interactive investigation of vulnerabilities, contextualized with enterprise data.
• Contextual, session-aware queries: Support for iterative workflows that refine and improve results.
• Extensibility: Adaptable to custom enterprise data models, attributes, and workflows.

Together, these features reduce friction, increase time-to-value, and empower more stakeholders to access the insights they need.

Why BrinqaIQ Matters for Exposure Management

Enterprises managing millions of assets and vulnerabilities often find traditional dashboards and static reports inadequate. BrinqaIQ addresses this gap by:

• Simplifying the user experience so exposure management insights are accessible to more teams.
• Accelerating adoption for new remediation groups and “power users.”
• Building trust through explainability, transparency, and strong guardrails.
• Respecting enterprise governance by aligning with role-based access controls and never training on customer data.

With BrinqaIQ, exposure management becomes more inclusive, transparent, and aligned with business needs.

The Roadmap: Purposeful AI for Cybersecurity

BrinqaIQ is just the beginning. As part of our AI Center of Excellence, we’re embedding purposeful AI across the Brinqa Platform—from connectors and enrichment to risk insights, remediation workflows, and program optimization.

Two major innovations already in development include:

• Language translation: Support for dozens of languages, making BrinqaIQ accessible to global enterprises and multinational teams.
• Model Context Protocol (MCP): Secure interaction with external systems, extending insights across workflows, domains, and teams.

This roadmap reflects our belief that AI should accelerate security program maturity, not disrupt or replace established governance.

Built on Experience and Listening

For more than 20 years, Brinqa has worked alongside some of the world’s most complex organizations. We understand entrenched processes, compliance requirements, and governance structures. Our approach to AI is rooted in this experience.

By listening closely to customer needs, we deliver solutions that are innovative yet practical, explainable yet powerful. BrinqaIQ resonates differently than hype-driven AI announcements because it is AI you can trust – AI designed to complement and accelerate existing exposure management programs.

Conclusion

With BrinqaIQ, Brinqa is setting a new standard for explainable AI in enterprise exposure management. This first release demonstrates our commitment to:

• Making exposure management more intuitive.Ensuring AI-powered insights are explainable and trusted.
• Delivering measurable value from day one.

BrinqaIQ is only the start of our innovation journey. As AI reshapes cybersecurity, Brinqa remains focused on helping enterprises stay ahead of evolving risks while scaling and maturing their programs.
