Data443 Launches Convaa.ai™ for Regulated Enterprises: Multi-Company AI Collaboration on Their Own Infrastructure, Under Their Own Control

Data443 Launches Convaa.ai™ for Regulated Enterprises: Multi-Company AI Collaboration on Their Own Infrastructure, Under Their Own Control As frontier AI vendors and hyperscalers raise prices, retire models and step back from group AI, Convaa.ai ™ gives CIOs, CISOs and CFOs an IT-controlled path to put entire workforces — and their partners — on AI. Acquisition activity in Israel and Silicon Valley underscores the value of enterprise footprint and data security.

RESEARCH TRIANGLE PARK, N.C., Oct. 22, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Data443 Risk Mitigation, Inc. (OTCPK: ATDS) (“Data443” or the “Company”), a data security and privacy software company for “All Things Data Security,” today announced Convaa.ai ™, its enterprise AI collaboration platform for regulated organizations that want their entire workforce — and the partners, suppliers and customers they work with — productive on AI without handing company data, budgets or model choices to a single outside vendor.

Convaa.ai ™ is built around people. Employees and outside participants work with AI together, live, in one environment. Protection of the organization’s data is part of the foundation, not an add-on: the business decides who participates, which models are used, and what data those models can reach.

Where Convaa.ai ™ challenges frontier AI vendors and hyperscalers

M&A is driving the market

Much of the market’s interest in enterprise AI and data security is being driven by acquisitions, and the most active corridor runs between Israel and Silicon Valley. Acquirers are paying for an established enterprise footprint and trusted control of sensitive data.

Data443 believes the greenfield opportunity — enterprise workforces not yet onboarded to AI under IT control — will remain open for some time, and that companies with an established enterprise footprint are best positioned to capture it, both in winning customers and in acquisitions. Convaa.ai ™ is built on the same data classification, discovery and policy foundation the Company has shipped to enterprise and government customers for nearly a decade. Data443 serves more than 10,000 customers in over 100 countries and has expanded that foundation through asset acquisitions including Cyren, ArcMail, FileFacets and TacitRed.

Video and audio

Video and audio capabilities are expected to be released shortly. Because the work in Convaa.ai ™ is collaborative from the start, those capabilities are designed to remove the need for separate chat and meeting tools such as Microsoft Teams, Slack and Webex — keeping conversations, meetings and AI work in one environment the enterprise controls.

Availability

Convaa.ai ™ is available today at https://convaa.ai. Enterprises seeking to deploy Convaa.ai ™ on their own infrastructure can find information at https://data443.com.

“Every enterprise wants its people on AI, and the frontier vendors and hyperscalers sell it one seat at a time, on their servers, on their model schedule,” said Jason Remillard, Chief Executive Officer and Founder of Data443. “Prices are rising, models get retired on the vendor’s timeline, and the largest providers have stepped back from people working with AI together. Convaa.ai ™ runs in-house, on compute you already own, with the models you choose — your employees, partners and customers in the same session. The deal activity in Israel and the Valley shows where the value sits: enterprise footprint and trusted control of data. That is the foundation Data443 has built for a decade, and it positions us to compete for customers and in consolidation.”
