AppOmni wins Intellyx Digital Innovator Award again

AppOmni has won the Intellyx Digital Innovator Award, its second consecutive win and third overall.

Analyst firm Intellyx presents the award to organisations that complete its selection process.

AppOmni, which specialises in software-as-a-service and artificial intelligence security, said the recognition comes as security teams face growing pressure to manage AI tools embedded in business software. The company argues that AI services can widen the attack surface because they interact with customer data, inherit user permissions, and operate with a degree of autonomy.

This is creating new demands on information security teams, particularly in identity governance, configuration management, and threat detection. AppOmni said traditional security products do not always address those issues when AI services are delivered through SaaS products or built directly into them.

AI in SaaS

AppOmni said this shift is pushing organisations towards AI Security Posture Management, or AI-SPM, as they work to identify and control AI-driven services, their access rights, and the data they can access. The company's platform is designed for IT, information security, and security operations centre teams that need visibility across SaaS environments and AI-related activity.

Its product lineup includes Marlin AI, which AppOmni describes as an autonomous tool for investigating and guiding remediation of SaaS security alerts. It also offers AskOmni, a generative AI assistant that lets users query security issues in plain language, and AgentGuard, a tool intended to enforce policies, continuously monitor activity, block malicious prompts, and control third-party integrations.

AppOmni said it protects more than 101 million SaaS user accounts and secures more than 260 million exposed data records. It added that its platform analyses 2 billion security events each day, highlighting the scale at which SaaS security providers are expected to operate as enterprises expand their use of cloud-based business applications.

Chief Executive Officer Neill Occhiogrosso linked the award to the company's focus on both SaaS and AI security.

"Receiving this award again reinforces AppOmni's commitment to preventing SaaS data breaches and securing the applications that power the modern enterprise," said Neill Occhiogrosso, Chief Executive Officer, AppOmni. "We apply the same rigor to AI security that we pioneered in SaaS security in 2018 because both require deep visibility, strong governance, and continuous protection. This recognition validates our innovation and leadership as we continue setting the standard for SaaS and AI security. As AI becomes increasingly integrated into SaaS platforms, our role in securing those connections is more critical than ever."

Industry context

The latest award adds to a string of industry recognitions cited by the company. AppOmni said it was named Frost & Sullivan Growth and Innovation Leader in the 2025 Frost Radar for SaaS Security Posture Management and also received the 2025 Frost & Sullivan Technology Innovation Leadership Award. It added that analyst firm Omdia had featured the business for its SaaS security platform. Other recognition included inclusion in the Fortune Cyber60, Great Place to Work designations in the US and UK, a Leader and Fast Mover ranking in the 2024 GigaOm Radar for SSPM, and CRN Stellar Startup recognition in 2023 and 2024.

These awards are part of a crowded cyber security market, where vendors seek validation from analyst firms and industry lists as buyers weigh a growing number of products. In SaaS security, competition has intensified as companies adopt more cloud software and try to map who has access to which data, under what conditions, and through which connected services.

Intellyx Managing Director Jason Bloomberg described how the firm decides its award winners.

"At Intellyx, we're always looking to speak to the most innovative and disruptive software vendors around the world," said Jason Bloomberg, Managing Director, Intellyx BV. "We're happy to call out those vendors who successfully brief us with our Digital Innovator Award."
