AGEST Enters Business Partnership for Co-development and Commercialization of Autonomous AI Cybersecurity Platform Utilizing Lazarus's 'Clearwing' Agentic AI Tool

AGEST, a provider supporting software quality and safety improvement, has entered into a business partnership agreement with Lazarus Enterprises, Inc. (based in Cambridge, MA; CEO: Alex Panait) as of June 9, 2026, to co-develop, commercialize, and sell 'AGEST Defensive (tentative),' an autonomous AI cybersecurity platform utilizing Lazarus’s agentic AI tool, 'Clearwing.'

<Background and Purpose> In recent years, building advanced defensive systems using cutting-edge technologies like generative AI has become a global imperative for cybersecurity and security measures. Following the recent 'Project Glasswing' initiative using 'Claude Mythos Preview,' movements to establish similar systems are rapidly advancing among Japanese and US government and financial institutions. Lazarus released an open-source version of 'Clearwing,' proving that complex vulnerabilities can be detected through agentic workflows using not only advanced frontier models but also traditional AI models. AGEST and Lazarus have agreed to co-develop 'AGEST Defensive' to democratize security workflows, enabling reasonable pricing and usage in on-premise environments.

<Core of the Partnership> Lazarus is an advanced US AI company that has developed AI analysis platforms for the US Department of Defense. 'Clearwing' is characterized by its high-precision verification process, which autonomously explores and reproduces vulnerabilities by simply specifying a target, integrating hundreds of security tools to automatically assess attackable surfaces. AGEST leverages its track record of operating over 930,000 EDR devices through services like DH-MDR, and will apply this expertise to elevate Lazarus's technology to an enterprise level.
