TEL AVIV, Israel and NEW YORK, Oct. 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Token Security, the leader in Agentic AI and Non-Human Identity (NHI) security, today announced the launch of Token Research, a new hub staffed by a team senior security researchers dedicated to deep technical research, vulnerability discovery, and threat intelligence focused on securing AI agents and NHIs.
Token Research will provide actionable insights to help enterprises address one of the fastest-growing security threats to their infrastructure and operations: vulnerabilities introduced by autonomous AI and non-human identities that access cloud systems, APIs, and business-critical applications. Token Research will concentrate on adversarial techniques, real-world exploit scenarios, and arming organizations with defensive mitigation measures.
“Enterprises are adopting agentic AI at an accelerating pace, but the security frameworks to govern these identities are lagging behind,” said Ido Shlomo, Co-Founder and CTO of Token Security. “Token Research is our way of contributing advanced research and responsible disclosures to help organizations understand and mitigate these emerging risks before they lead to security breaches.”
Token Research is led by Yair Balilti. Prior to joining Token, Yair served for more than six years in Israeli Military Intelligence, rising through key leadership roles where he led cybersecurity teams and projects focused on defending critical systems. Yair brings a blend of offensive expertise and defensive strategy to advancing enterprise security against emerging attacks targeting NHIs and AI agents.
“Our mission with Token Research is to bridge research with real-world defensive responses. We don’t just study emerging threats, we expose them, develop ways to detect and mitigate them, and share that knowledge with the broader security community,” said Yair Balilti, Token Security Research Team Leader. “By combining offensive research with defensive strategy, we aim to give enterprises the tools and intelligence they need to stay ahead of AI-driven risks.”
Token researchers have already published critical research and analysis findings that illustrate the urgency of the problem, including:
Token Research will continue to investigate these risks through public research, and collaboration with both vendors and enterprises. Its goal is to protect Token’s customers and also accelerate the security community’s ability to safeguard against the next wave of machine and AI agent threats.
