Bastazo and Rilian partner on AI tool for OT vulnerability prioritization

Bastazo and Rilian said they will integrate Bastazo’s vulnerability prioritization and remediation engine into Rilian’s Caspian platform for critical infrastructure operators.

What happened

Bastazo and Rilian announced a partnership on Sept. 8, 2026, saying they will integrate Bastazo’s AI-powered operational technology vulnerability prioritization and remediation capability into Rilian’s Caspian platform.

The companies said the goal is to help OT security teams sort large numbers of vulnerability alerts into a shorter list of defensible next steps. According to the release, the combined system is meant to turn CVE lists into prioritized, auditable action plans without disrupting uptime.

Why it matters

The announcement targets operators of critical infrastructure, where OT and industrial control systems can be hard to patch quickly because uptime and safety are central concerns. In that setting, the companies said the integration is intended to help identify which vulnerabilities matter most and what to do first.

The release said the Bastazo-powered agent is available today as part of the Caspian platform, with a priority focus on sovereign and national SOC operators managing OT and ICS environments.

Context and background

Bastazo is described in the release as an AI-powered OT cybersecurity platform. Rilian describes itself as a provider of AI-native cybersecurity and defense technology solutions.

Rilian said Caspian gives defense and security teams a single command layer across their stack, while pre-trained agents automate analyst workflows and capture institutional knowledge. The release said Bastazo’s technology integrates into Caspian as an agent and automates vulnerability detection, contextual prioritization, remediation planning and attack path analysis for OT and ICS environments.

The release also said the Bastazo agent can run as a standalone vulnerability management capability or as part of Caspian’s multi-agent ecosystem. In that setup, it uses context from the orchestration layer and other agents to ground prioritization decisions in assets, the adversary landscape and organizational risk.

Both companies framed the work as a way to support air-gapped, sovereign and compliance-restricted environments. Rilian said it can deploy into those settings in days, not months or years.

What the companies said

Willi Nelson, Bastazo’s chief executive, said he is excited to work with Rilian to bring innovation at scale to critical infrastructure around the world. He said OT environments present special challenges with higher risk.

Christian Schnedler, Rilian’s chief executive, said Bastazo’s capability is a natural extension of Caspian and the missing layer between detection and action. He said customers in the field are already seeing the difference.

What happens next

The companies said the Bastazo-powered agent capability is already available through Caspian. The release did not give a broader rollout schedule or pricing terms.
