SAN JOSE, Calif., Feb. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- DTEX, a leader in risk-adaptive security and behavioral intelligence, today announced continued company momentum, marked by leadership investments, product advancements, customer growth and significant AI innovation. DTEX’s recent industry advancements underscore market leadership through industry-leading behavioral intelligence that helps prevent breaches before they occur.
“The past year was defined by AI, both as organizations adopt AI to drive business success, and as nation-state threat actors exploit AI. Security teams faced growing challenges this year to connect human behavior and AI usage, and DTEX provided the vital foundation for early risk detection and response,” said Marshall Heilman, CEO of DTEX. “We continued to innovate and solve complex customer challenges, launching a more modern risk-adaptive DLP product, while adding AI Security capabilities into our products.”

DTEX’s Risk-Adaptive Framework™, powered by dynamic risk groups, provides a unified system that enables precision, automation, and proactive defense as user behavior and risks evolve.
- DTEX Platform v7 and Risky Users Dashboard: DTEX Platform v7, featuring the new Risky Users Dashboard, provides continuous visibility and early detection.
