Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. (OTCPK: ATDS) announced on October 14, 2026, that its artificial intelligence runtime enforcement and control platform, Vaikora, has reached general availability. The company filed a Current Report on Form 8-K to disclose this release.
Vaikora is designed to operate inline between artificial intelligence systems and the actions those systems take. Rather than inspecting AI behavior after the fact, the platform evaluates each action against policy at runtime. It allows, blocks, or constrains actions and records every enforced decision.
The platform is designed to enforce controls across four specific areas:
- Agent actions, such as tool and function calls an AI agent attempts to execute on a customer’s systems.
- Data flows, determining what an AI system is permitted to read, retain, transmit, or expose.
- Governance policy, applying organization-defined rules consistently across models.
- Agent-to-agent communication, the messages autonomous components exchange with one another.
Data443 states that Vaikora is designed to operate with commercial models and specific open-source models. This allows a single policy layer to govern a heterogeneous AI estate rather than binding an organization to one vendor’s controls.
The company notes that enterprises are moving AI agents out of pilots and into production, where those agents act on real systems and real data. Data443 claims that existing access controls were designed for human users and applications, not for autonomous software acting at machine speed.
Data443 serves over 10,000 customers in more than 100 countries. The company states that Vaikora is built on the same data classification, discovery, and policy foundation it has shipped to enterprise and government customers for nearly a decade. The company also operates a strategic partner program for platform, cloud, and security providers seeking to embed or resell runtime enforcement.
Data443 is headquartered in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina.
