Across AI operates as a cloud-native company, leveraging public cloud as its core infrastructure
Challenge:
As a fast-moving AI startup, Across AI needed to balance rapid innovation with stringent enterprise security expectations. Customers demanded flexible deployment options to meet data sovereignty and compliance requirements while maintaining low-latency performance for AI agents operating in real time. Traditional security models couldn’t adapt quickly enough to these dynamic workloads or hybrid architectures.
Solution:
Across AI adopted Aviatrix Cloud Native Security Fabric (CNSF) to extend zero trust and runtime visibility into every AI workload. With CNSF, the team achieved uniform policy enforcement and microsegmentation across public cloud and on-prem environments. This architecture provides secure-by-default operations that don’t impede development velocity or agent responsiveness.
Impact:
By embedding CNSF into its core infrastructure, Across AI simplified security management and accelerated customer onboarding. Enterprise clients can now deploy AI agents within their own cloud VPCs or data centers with consistent controls and encryption. The result is faster deployments, stronger trust, and uninterrupted innovation across the AI lifecycle.
"Aviatrix is foundational. It allows us to focus on building value at the application and agent layers, knowing that the underlying network is secure, observable, and programmable.”

Across AI's platform of enterprise AI agents runs within popular collaboration tools like Microsoft Teams, Slack, and Salesforce. Each agent combines AI-driven insight with live enterprise data to help customers accelerate workflows and improve decision making. To support enterprise security standards, Across AI needed a solution that could scale securely across public cloud, on-prem, and customer-controlled environments.
Customer security requirements spanned multiple environments and deployment models.
Many clients in regulated industries — such as financial services and healthcare — required data sovereignty and custom VPC deployments. Across AI’s existing cloud-native tooling provided speed but lacked granular visibility and segmentation controls across different cloud providers. The team needed runtime security that could scale at AI speed without fragmented policy management or vendor lock-in.
CNSF delivers uniform runtime security and microsegmentation for every deployment.
By integrating CNSF into its core network architecture, Across AI gained end-to-end visibility and enforcement across workloads, networks, and clouds. Policies are defined once and automatically applied to all AI agents and infrastructure components. This eliminates security blind spots and reduces operational friction between security and engineering teams.
The result is secure, scalable agentic AI with faster enterprise adoption.
With Aviatrix, Across AI has transformed security from a development constraint into a competitive advantage. CNSF enables secure-by-default operations that accelerate innovation while ensuring trust in AI outcomes. As agentic AI continues to expand across industries, Across AI is proving that security and speed can scale together.
Across AI is a San Francisco startup pioneering agentic AI for enterprise workflows.
