DXC partners with Primary on zero-trust security for enterprise AI

What happened

DXC Technology Co. has partnered with Primary, a security startup, to become the exclusive managed services partner for Primary’s zero-trust platform focused on enterprise AI. This joint solution controls how AI agents and applications inside companies access data by placing identity verification and access policies as gatekeepers before any data interaction.

Why it matters

Zero-trust security adds a critical layer of control in the rising use of AI within enterprises, where unauthorized or risky AI data access could lead to leaks or compliance failures. By enforcing identity checks and strict access rules before AI systems connect to data, DXC and Primary’s collaboration responds to a real operational need: preventing insider-like AI data misuse or accidental exposure. For companies deploying AI at scale, this tightens security without relying on traditional perimeter defenses, which do not fit AI’s dynamic data flows.

What to watch next

Enterprises using AI-driven workflows will watch how this zero-trust approach balances security with AI performance and data agility. Adoption rates among DXC’s client base will reveal demand for managed zero-trust AI security as a service. Also, monitoring how competitors respond with their own managed zero-trust AI offerings will show if this partnership accelerates a new wave of AI governance solutions in enterprise IT.
