Backbase launches world's first AI-powered Banking Platform, putting banks back in Growth Mode
AMSTERDAM, NETHERLANDS - Media OutReach Newswire - 30 April 2025 - Today, Backbase announces a major industry shift: the launch of the world's first AI-powered Banking Platform, following the launch of its Intelligence Fabric in September 2024.
Momentum accelerates with the release of its next-generation platform, purpose-built to accelerate growth and efficiency in banking by unifying two mission-critical domains: customer servicing and digital sales.
This launch marks the next phase of Backbase's bold vision: putting bankers at the forefront of the AI revolution, fully equipped to drive sustainable, profitable growth.
Built for unified sales and servicing
In today's competitive landscape, banks can no longer afford to rely on passive digital channels and reactive workflows. Backbase's AI-powered Banking Platform enables banks to:
'Banks don't need more pilots - they need outcomes,' said Jouk Pleiter, CEO & Founder of Backbase. 'With our AI-powered Banking Platform, we're going all-in on the AI opportunity and empower banks to boost productivity, automate intelligently, and unlock growth faster than ever.'
Why now? The industry is at a tipping point. While fintechs surge ahead, many banks are still trapped by legacy tech and fragmented data — unable to fully seize the AI opportunity. The last decade delivered basic digital channels. The next will be owned by banks that master AI-powered growth orchestration: acquiring, activating, expanding, and retaining customers at scale.
Powered by the Intelligence Fabric
At the heart of the platform is the Intelligence Fabric — a unified data foundation that turns behavioral signals, transactional data, and operational insights into real-time, actionable intelligence.
A breakthrough addition is Agentic AI: modular, intelligent agents purpose-built for banking. Operating safely within guardrails, these agents seamlessly embed into service and sales journeys—automating tasks, guiding next-best actions, and boosting productivity across the front and back office.
Trusted and secure by design
Built on a trusted AI foundation, the platform ensures every decision, recommendation, and action is transparent, secure, and auditable. Agents are developed, deployed, and governed within a tightly controlled environment, enabling banks to confidently scale while upholding the highest standards of compliance, risk, and operational integrity.
Closing the talent gap with the AI Factory
AI adoption demands new expertise — and Backbase delivers it through the AI Factory: an embedded delivery model designed to bridge the industry's AI skills gap. By integrating Backbase's AI experts directly into their teams, banks can rapidly co-create high-impact use cases and turn innovation into execution with speed and confidence.
'This isn't proof-of-concept AI. This is a packaged, production-ready operating model to move banks from experimentation to execution, fast' said Jouk Pleiter, CEO & Founder at Backbase. 'AI waits for no bank. It's not a wait-and-see - it's here, and it's rewriting the rules of the industry. The time to act is now.'
Available now
The AI-powered Banking Platform is already delivering breakthrough efficiency and unlocking new growth for early adopters. As of today, it's officially live and globally available—ready to transform how banks operate at scale.

CyCraft Launches XecGuard: LLM Firewall for Trustworthy AI
TAIPEI, TAIWAN - Media OutReach Newswire - 1 July 2025 - CyCraft, a leading AI cybersecurity firm, today announced the global launch of XecGuard, the industry's first plug-and-play LoRA security module purpose-built to defend Large Language Models (LLMs). XecGuard's introduction marks a pivotal moment for secure, trustworthy AI, addressing the critical security challenges posed by the rapid adoption of LLMs. CyCraft Co-Founders (from left to right): Benson Wu (CEO), Jeremy Chiu (CTO), and PK Tsung (CISO) are leading the mission to build the world's most advanced AI security platform. Trustworthy AI Matters The transformative power of Large Language Models (LLMs) brings significant security uncertainty, requiring enterprises to urgently safeguard their AI models from malicious attacks like prompt injection, prompt extraction, and jailbreak attempts. Historically, AI security has been an 'optional add-on' rather than a fundamental feature, leaving valuable AI and data exposed. This oversight can compromise sensitive data, undermine service stability, and erode customer trust. CyCraft emphasizes that 'AI security must be a standard feature—not an optional add-on,' believing it's paramount for delivering stable and trustworthy intelligent services. The Imminent Need for Proactive AI Defense The need for immediate and effective AI security is more critical than ever before. As AI becomes increasingly embedded in core business operations, the attack surface expands exponentially, making proactive defenses an absolute necessity. CyCraft has leveraged its extensive 'battle-tested expertise across critical domains—including government, finance, and high-tech manufacturing' to precisely address these emerging AI-specific threats. The development of XecGuard signifies a shift from 'using AI to tackle cybersecurity challenges' to now 'using AI to protect AI' , ensuring that security and resilience are embedded from day one. 'AI security must be a standard feature—not an optional add-on,' stated Benson Wu, CEO, highlighting XecGuard's resilience and integration of experience from defending critical sectors. Jeremy Chiu, CTO and Co-Founder, emphasized, 'In the past, we used AI to tackle cybersecurity challenges; now, we're using AI to protect AI,' adding that XecGuard enables enterprises to confidently adopt AI and deliver trustworthy services. PK Tsung, CISO, concluded, 'With XecGuard, we're empowering enterprises to embed security and resilience from day one' as part of their vision for the world's most advanced AI security platform. CyCraft's Solution: XecGuard Empowers Secure AI Deployment CyCraft leads with the global launch of XecGuard, the industry's first plug-and-play LoRA security module purpose-built to defend LLMs. XecGuard provides robust protection against prompt injection, prompt extraction, and jailbreak attacks, ensuring enterprise-grade resilience for AI models. Its seamless deployment allows instant integration with any LLM without architectural modification, delivering powerful autonomous defense out of the box. XecGuard is available as a SaaS, an OpenAI-compatible LLM firewall on your cloud (e.g., AWS or Cloudflare Workers AI), or an embedded firewall for on-premises, NVIDIA-powered custom LLM servers. Rigorously validated on major open-source models like Llama 3B, Qwen3 4B, Gemma3 4B, and DeepSeek 8B, it consistently improves security resilience while preserving core performance, enabling even small models to achieve protection comparable to large commercial-grade systems. Even small models gain enterprise-level defenses, approaching large commercial-grade performance. Real-world validation through collaboration with APMIC, an NVIDIA partner, integrated XecGuard into the F1 open-source model, demonstrating an average 17.3% improvement in overall security defense scores and up to 30.1% in specific attack scenarios via LLM Red Teaming exercises. With XecGuard and the Safety LLM service, CyCraft delivers enterprise-grade AI security, accelerating the adoption of resilient and trustworthy AI across industries, empowering organizations to deploy AI securely, protect sensitive data, and drive innovation with confidence.
