Rilian and Bastazo Partner to Bring AI-Driven Vulnerability Prioritization to Critical Infrastructure Worldwide

Integration embeds Bastazo's contextual prioritization and remediation engine into Rilian's Caspian platform, giving OT security teams a clear, defensible path from alert to action

BENTONVILLE, Ark. and MCLEAN, Va., Sept. 8, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- Bastazo, an AI-powered operational technology (OT) cybersecurity platform, today announced a partnership with Rilian, a leading provider of AI-native cybersecurity and defense technology solutions, to help critical infrastructure operators move from a flood of vulnerability alerts to a short list of defensible next steps using Caspian, Rilian's multi-agent security platform.

Caspian gives OT security teams a unified, orchestrated view across their environment; Bastazo adds the prioritization and remediation layer to answer "what matters, and what do I do about it." Combined, Rilian and Bastazo turn sprawling, common vulnerabilities and exposures (CVE) lists into prioritized, auditable action plans that OT teams can actually execute against, without guesswork and without disrupting uptime.

"We are very excited to be working with Rilian to bring this kind of innovation at scale to critical infrastructure around the world." said Willi Nelson, CEO of Bastazo. "OT environments bring a special set of challenges with higher risk, and this combined technology is bringing modern advancements in cybersecurity, finally, to those who need it most." 

Under the partnership, Bastazo's technology integrates directly into Rilian's Caspian platform as an agent, automating vulnerability detection, contextual prioritization, remediation planning, and attack path analysis for OT/ICS environments. The agent operates both as a standalone vulnerability management capability and as an integrated component of Caspian's multi-agent ecosystem, drawing enriched context from the orchestration layer and other agents to deliver prioritization decisions grounded in each entity's actual assets, adversary landscape, and organizational risk.

"Caspian was built to give SOC analysts a single, trustworthy source of truth across their environment. Bastazo's prioritization and remediation capability is a natural extension of that. It's the missing layer between detection and action, and our customers in the field are already seeing the difference." said Christian Schnedler, CEO of Rilian. "This partnership further expands our work supporting critical infrastructure providers around the globe."

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