Netwrix Leads Data Security Market with First MCP Server Integration to Raise Cybersecurity Team Productivity and Set Stage for Agentic AI

AI conversational assistants like Claude Desktop and Copilot can now be connected to Netwrix Access Analyzer using the Model Context Protocol.

FRISCO, Texas, April 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Netwrix, a cybersecurity provider focused on data and identity threats, launched a free open-source Model Context Protocol (MCP) server integration for Netwrix Access Analyzer, enabling its customers to rapidly gain deep data security insights by connecting AI assistants to query data collected by the solution. With this integration, security teams can ask natural-language questions and get instant answers about who has access to what data, sensitive data exposure, stale accounts, and other risk indicators—without logging into dashboards or writing a single query.

Leveraging Access Analyzer’s capabilities through AI conversational assistants like Claude Desktop and Microsoft Copilot empowers security teams to obtain faster and more specific risk insights. Natural language questions like “Who has shadow access to credit card data?” or “Create a dashboard which shows my data security overview, risks, and recommended remediations” ensure straightforward communication and accurate results. Moreover, an opportunity to conversationally interact with Access Analyzer shortens the team’s learning curve and accelerates the onboarding of new security team members.

“Integration with the MCP-compatible AI assistants for Netwrix Access Analyzer is the first step towards future Netwrix AI capabilities. Our current roadmap is focused on elevating privileged access management (PAM) and identity threat detection and response (ITDR) experience by bringing MCP integration to Netwrix Privilege Secure and Netwrix Threat Manager,” says Jeff Warren, Chief Product Officer at Netwrix. “We aim to empower our customers to extract value from our data without being an expert in our products’ interfaces or understanding database schemas of target systems.”

Advantages for Cybersecurity Teams:

  • Faster time to insight: The Netwrix Access Analyzer MCP server abstracts top use cases, enabling customers to derive insights from their data more efficiently.
  • Seamless Integration: MCP servers act as a bridge between Netwrix products and other systems, facilitating data exchange and analysis across different platforms, removing the complexity of system-to-system integrations.
  • Improved data security posture: By using AI to identify risks and remediations, organizations can scale the productivity of existing teams to secure their ever-expanding data footprints.

MCP is an open standard that allows AI assistants to connect to enterprise systems and ask questions without needing custom integrations. For enhanced security, customers can decide what data is exposed to Netwrix’s MCP server. All AI queries can be logged and audited.

MCP server integration is available to all Netwrix Access Analyzer customers at no additional cost. Integration instructions are published on GitHub.

About Netwrix

Netwrix champions cybersecurity to ensure a brighter digital future for any organization. Netwrix’s innovative solutions safeguard data, identities, and infrastructure reducing both the risk and impact of a breach for more than 13,500 organizations across 100+ countries.

Corinex Announces $30 Million Investment Led by Energy Growth Momentum, Suma Capital and Adara Ventures to Scale the Deployment of its Grid Flexibility Solutions

Funding to scale the global deployment of Corinex’s broadband over power lines (BPL) grid flexibility and visibility solutions for transformative grid digitalization.

VANCOUVER, BC, April 9, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Corinex, a global leader in broadband over power lines (BPL)-based grid visibility and flexibility solutions, today announces a $30 million investment round led by U.K.-based Energy Growth Momentum, along with Spanish investment firms Suma Capital, an independent alternative asset manager and a leader in ecological transition, and Adara Ventures. This funding will fuel Corinex’s expansion in standardizing and delivering real-time grid flexibility and visibility solutions. By resolving grid constraints while enhancing the resilience and security of energy systems worldwide, this collaborative effort paves the way for the mass adoption of decentralized low-carbon technologies (LCTs).

Corinex grid flexibility solutions maintain network capacities, steer low-carbon technologies (LCTs) to consume local generation, and protect transformers from overload.
Corinex grid flexibility solutions maintain network capacities, steer low-carbon technologies (LCTs) to consume local generation, and protect transformers from overload.

The investment will support Corinex’s ongoing deployments in major European electricity markets, including Germany, Spain, and the U.K., where leading grid operators have formulated—and, in some countries, already standardized—new use cases for the low-voltage grid necessary for mass decarbonization. As a key contributor to industry-standardization associations, Corinex provides standards-based BPL solutions that have been validated for implementation. The high data rate, edge computing capabilities and real time (dynamic) load balancing provided by Corinex technology are essential for increasing the capacity of low-voltage energy infrastructure worldwide.

A shared vision for smarter, more resilient grids

Peter Sobotka, Founder & CEO of Corinex, emphasized the strategic importance of this investment:

“The world’s energy grids are at a critical juncture, requiring scalable, real-time solutions to accommodate the rapid electrification of transportation, heating, and decentralized renewables. Corinex’s BPL-based technology offers a transformational approach to grid enhancement enabling the instant increase of the grid capacity at low cost.

The Corinex solution was developed, validated, and is now in mass rollouts within real grid environments of the most advanced European utilities. It collects and processes real-time data on the low-voltage part of the grid. Our technology increases grid resiliency by providing real-time control of low-carbon technologies.

The ability to securely collect and manage pools of low-voltage grid data is uniquely positioning Corinex to collaboratively enable some of the many providers of AI technology. Such a combined solution will push grid digitalization to the next new frontiers.

Corinex’s growth, profitability, and this investment by Energy Growth Momentum, Suma Capital, and Adara Ventures provide confidence in scaling and mass adoption of Corinex’s intelligent infrastructure solutions that enhance grid resiliency and support decarbonization.”

Investor Perspectives

John Wilson, Partner at Energy Growth Momentum, underscored the growing demand for grid modernization:

“Energy grids globally are under increasing strain as the transition to renewables accelerates. Corinex’s technology turns a traditional infrastructure challenge into a smart, software-driven solution – enabling utilities to dynamically manage grid congestion and maintain stability, all without costly infrastructure overhauls. Our investment reflects our belief that Corinex is uniquely positioned to build the stable, flexible grids the future demands – a vision that aligns with our focus on supporting high-growth companies driving the energy transition.”

Natalia Ruiz, Senior Partner at Suma Capital, highlighted the alignment with EU decarbonization goals:

“As Europe intensifies its energy transition, the demand for advanced grid intelligence solutions is more critical than ever. These solutions are the backbone of a resilient and sustainable power system. Corinex’s ability to deliver comprehensive, real-time control and end-to-end visibility over distribution networks is pivotal in enabling progress toward a low carbon economy. At Suma Capital, we have been driving the shift toward sustainable energy for nearly two decades through investments in cutting-edge infrastructure and technologies. Supporting Corinex’s vision and international expansion not only advances our mission as a sustainable and impact-driven fund but also reaffirms our commitment to tackling the core challenges of this transition.”

Alberto Echeverri, Partner at Adara Ventures, emphasized the strategic nature of the investment:

“Investing in Corinex represents a unique opportunity to support a company that is redefining grid management. Building on our successful past investment in a fabless semiconductor company specializing in Power Line Communication (PLC) chipsets for smart energy, we see immense potential in Corinex’s ability to lead the next generation of grid innovation.
