Lineaje unveils UnifAI to secure enterprise agentic AI

Lineaje has launched UnifAI, a security and governance layer for agentic AI systems that can act autonomously inside enterprise workflows.

Lineaje is positioning the release as a response to a growing control problem as organisations move beyond AI proofs of concept and begin deploying autonomous agents across business units. It cited the spread of low-code tools and AI assistants as a driver of faster development across the enterprise.

Agentic AI differs from conventional software because agents can interact with sensitive data and invoke external tools during execution. Lineaje said this creates risks that existing security tools may struggle to detect, including prompt injection, data leakage and reasoning-compromise attacks.

Security layer

UnifAI sits in the AI development workflow and applies policy controls as teams build and deploy agentic applications. Lineaje described the approach as shifting risk identification earlier in the build process, rather than relying on runtime monitoring alone.

UnifAI performs automated discovery of AI assets and builds an inventory that Lineaje calls an AI Bill of Materials. It also creates and applies policies and generates guardrails that operate inside agentic workflows.

UnifAI runs as a model context protocol (MCP) server and integrates with coding assistants and low-code/no-code platforms used to create agentic applications. Lineaje said this setup helps security teams, developers, and governance, risk and compliance staff apply consistent controls across environments.

The platform also includes a threat model that Lineaje calls an "AI kill chain," designed to assess known threats and incorporate defences.

"AI leaders told us they lack a central command center to manage the complexity of their AI environments," said Javed Hasan, CEO and Co-Founder, Lineaje.

Discovery focus

A key element of the release is continuous discovery. Lineaje said UnifAI uses "Discovery Agents" to map models, agents, MCP servers, large language model dependencies, skills and data connections, and assigns a risk profile to each component.

Lineaje said security teams gain visibility across systems, connections and behavioural patterns as new applications are created, with oversight that updates as environments change.

Policy engine

UnifAI also generates and recommends policies across areas including data protection, identity and access management, compliance alignment, threat prevention and vulnerability remediation. Lineaje said this reduces the need for teams to write policies from scratch.

The system can take internal governance documents and convert them into enforceable policies, according to Lineaje. Its AI Research Labs also publishes new policies as threats emerge in agentic environments.

For compliance, Lineaje said UnifAI applies protections aligned with the EU AI Act and the OWASP Top Ten for AI. Organisations can manage policies and monitor violations through a central console.

Partners and users

The launch also referenced work with services and consulting organisations. Persistent Systems said it has been collaborating with Lineaje on UnifAI alongside its SASVA AI Platform.

"Persistent's SASVA AI Platform accelerates enterprise AI adoption by providing a scalable, secure foundation for building and deploying generative AI solutions across the software development lifecycle. We have been collaborating with Lineaje on UnifAI to bring together SASVA and UnifAI into a comprehensive AI development and security solution for enterprise customers. We are excited about this partnership and its ability to help customers advance their agentic transformation more securely," said Nitish Shrivastava, Chief Technology Officer, Engineering Hyper-productivity, Persistent Systems.

KPMG also tied the product to governance and compliance pressures in regulated sectors. The firm described UnifAI as a control plane that provides real-time visibility and a policy engine that updates as threats and regulatory expectations change.

"Agentic AI is evolving rapidly, bringing unpredictable risks and making compliance harder to manage and demonstrate. UnifAI changes that - acting as the security and compliance control plane that gives our banking, financial services, and insurance (BFSI) clients real-time visibility and a policy engine that evolves with both the threat landscape and the regulatory environment. For the first time, we can help clients get ahead of regulators rather than scrambling to catch up," said Anil Singh, Director, Software Supply Chain Security, KPMG.

Lineaje said UnifAI is available to organisations building and deploying agentic AI systems that need centralised policy controls and security oversight across distributed development teams.
