Key Highlights
We are happy to launch Covasant SERAA, our Agentic Enterprise Intelligence Platform. AI agents usually arrive one team at a time, each on the cloud that suits it. A year later, the business is running dozens of agents, with no clear view of what each one does or who owns it. Covasant SERAA has been built to solve that.
ARIIA 2.0 is now SERAA Axon, and CAMS 2.0 is now SERAA Cortex.
Inside Covasant SERAA
- SERAA Pulze picks up signals that systems would otherwise miss
- SERAA Axon reasons across the data that a business already owns
- SERAA Synapse remembers what worked, once a human approves it (in alpha now)
- SERAA Cortex brings every agent onto one plane
- Assure runs across all four, showing who approved what and what it cost
Covasant contributed to Forrester's August 2026 report, "Your AI Agents Need An Independent Control Plane." The report lays out a three-plane model for AI agents: build, orchestrate and control.
It also points to a real gap for enterprises running agents across different vendors and platforms. There is no unified way to track cost, enforce security or trace issues back to their source. Covasant enables organizations to build that independent control layer for stronger AI governance.
