New capabilities help organizations govern AI agents, recover critical business operations first, and automate cloud governance at scale
• Expanded data protection helps organizations secure critical infrastructure and recover their Minimum Viable Company through new Rapid Recovery System
• Unified governance moves from visibility to enforcement as AI agents shift from analysis to autonomous action
JERSEY CITY, N.J., April 28, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- AvePoint (Nasdaq: AVPT; SGX: AVP), the global leader in AI data protection, unifying data security, governance, and resilience, today announced new advancements to the AvePoint Confidence Platform that transition organizations from AI visibility to active enforcement, accelerating adoption while mitigating risk. These updates address critical governance and security gaps exposed by the rapid adoption of autonomous AI agents and the increasing complexity of multicloud data estates.
Multicloud Cyber Resiliency and Infrastructure Protection
AvePoint is evolving cyber resiliency beyond traditional backup to focus on recovering the Minimum Viable Company (MVC), the smallest version of an organization that can continue operating during disruption. When disruption happens, organizations need to restore their business operations, not just their data.
- AvePoint is expanding its disaster recovery capabilities with its Rapid Recovery System, a new orchestration framework that helps organizations move beyond traditional backup to structured, prioritized business recovery. Powered by Express Recovery, the system enables high-speed restoration of prioritized Microsoft 365 workloads concurrently with critical identities and infrastructure, thus restoring MVC first. By prioritizing what matters most and systematically analyzing and removing obsolete data, AvePoint’s Rapid Recovery System helps customers shorten outage windows and restore operational continuity faster.
- In addition to optimizing protection of Microsoft 365 workloads, AvePoint continues to expand its coverage of SaaS and cloud sources, now offering support for Microsoft Azure PostgreSQL and Cosmos DB for infrastructure backup. Additionally, Bitbucket protection is now generally available, with enhanced support for Okta Workforce Identity Cloud, Atlassian Admin, and Jira Admin.
“As AI and cloud expansion increase the risk surface, disruption no longer affects a single workload; it cascades across services,” said John Peluso, Chief Technology Officer, AvePoint. “By focusing on MVC recovery, we are moving organizations from reactive data restoration to proactive business resilience, ensuring they can restore what matters first when incidents happen.”
Active Governance and Security for AI Agents
AI agents are scaling quickly, and organizations need actionable guardrails, not just dashboards. As agents move from analysis to action, AvePoint provides the necessary controls to govern autonomous behavior and mitigate exposure.
- Building on momentum from the recent launch of AgentPulse for Microsoft and Google agents, AvePoint’s AI agent governance now delivers deeper insight into agent access to sensitive files and knowledge sources, including where data lacks proper security labeling. Enhanced RBAC (role-based access controls) specific to AI agents empower organizational security at scale, ensuring appropriate access for agents based on each user's rights.
Scalable Multi-Tenant IT Operations and Governance for Partners
As cloud adoption outpaces legacy governance, organizations face growing data sprawl, configuration drift, and operational risk. Within the AvePoint Confidence Platform – Elements Edition, MSPs can manage and monitor users, applications, data, devices, tenants, and cloud infrastructure from a single system, standardizing delivery, reducing risk, and supporting efficient growth.
- Cross tenant license visibility and automation provide MSPs with a consolidated view of usage across all Microsoft tenants, supporting optimization, automated management, and proactive renewal conversations. Workspace Management enables data owners to remediate security risks such as oversharing, outdated access, and misconfigurations directly within Microsoft 365 through guided workflows, reducing IT dependency and accelerating resolution.
- A centralized policy vault, flexible baseline creation, and similarity-based drift detection improve accuracy and reduce false positives, helping MSPs focus on meaningful configuration change. Microsoft Intune App Management enables centralized app creation and bulk deployment across tenants, standardizing device and application governance at scale.
- Azure Security Management and Cloud Security Posture Management (CSPM) deliver consistent security enforcement across Microsoft Azure environments, with clear visibility into vulnerabilities, identity risks, audit activity, and cloud inventory. A new workload-based CSPM model allows MSPs to flexibly assign coverage, clearly track security usage, and efficiently scale cloud security governance across customer environments.
