Peris.ai Secures Top Award Among 24 International AI Startups

The Korea–ASEAN AI Youth Festa 2026 brought together 24 selected AI startups representing 12 countries, including 11 ASEAN member states and South Korea. Peris.ai achieved first place and received the competition's highest award.

The event is an international collaboration program organized by South Korea's National IT Industry Promotion Agency (NIPA), with support from the ASEAN–Korea Cooperation Fund (AKCF).

The program aims to encourage technological innovation, business development, cross-border collaboration, and international growth opportunities for AI-driven startups across the region.

Agentic AI and Hyperautomation Address Cybersecurity Challenges

The growing adoption of cloud technologies, artificial intelligence, and interconnected digital systems has created new opportunities for businesses. However, these developments have also introduced increasingly sophisticated cybersecurity challenges.

Organizations across ASEAN and international markets face growing pressure to detect threats faster, manage complex security environments, and respond to incidents more effectively.

Many security teams continue to deal with large volumes of security alerts, fragmented security tools, and investigation and response processes that require significant manual work.

Peris.ai addresses these challenges through its Agentic AI and Hyperautomation Cybersecurity approach. The company combines advanced technology, intelligent automation, and human expertise to help organizations simplify security operations and improve their ability to respond to evolving cyber threats.

BrahmaFusion Demonstrates AI-Powered Cybersecurity Automation

During the Korea–ASEAN AI Youth Festa 2026, Peris.ai showcased BrahmaFusion, one of its core innovations designed to improve cybersecurity operations through Agentic AI and Hyperautomation.

BrahmaFusion is a cybersecurity orchestration and automation platform that connects existing security technologies and automates investigation and incident response workflows. It also aims to improve coordination across security operations.

The platform provides several capabilities to support cybersecurity teams:

• Integrated security technologies: Connects existing security solutions through coordinated workflows.
• Automated investigation and response: Automates repetitive investigation and incident response tasks to reduce manual workloads.
• Improved threat visibility: Helps security teams identify and prioritize threats more effectively.
• Faster incident response: Supports more efficient incident response workflows and improves overall operational efficiency.

Through these capabilities, BrahmaFusion aims to reduce the time security teams spend on repetitive activities. This allows them to focus more on critical analysis, strategic decisions, and tasks that require human expertise.
