Hexaware Introduces Zero Vulnerability Offering

Hexaware Technologies (NSE: HEXT), an AI‑first digital and IT services firm, announced the launch of Zero Vulnerability, a new cybersecurity service designed to help enterprises convert a growing volume of vulnerability findings into verified fixes in production. The offering is delivered through Hexaware’s AI‑led delivery platform Zerovity™ and is positioned as a key pillar of the company’s Zero Friction Enterprise™ strategy, supporting continuous exposure reduction, identity‑first security, cyber defence, and AI‑native security operations.

Market Context and Drivers

The press release cites the Verizon 2026 Data Breach Investigations Report, which found that only 26% of critical known‑exploited vulnerabilities were fully remediated in the prior year, down from 38%. The median time to fully resolve such vulnerabilities increased from 32 days to 43 days, and 99% of AI‑discovered vulnerabilities remained unremediated. These statistics illustrate the widening gap between faster vulnerability discovery driven by AI and the finite capacity of security and engineering teams to investigate and fix them.

Offering Mechanics

Zero Vulnerability enables organizations to:

  • Ingest and validate vulnerability findings from any source.
  • Prioritise and route findings to the appropriate teams.
  • Execute remediation actions across diverse technology stacks, including custom applications, SaaS and PaaS environments, third‑party software, and operating systems.
  • Verify that the vulnerability has been removed in the production environment rather than merely marked as closed.
  • Close the remediation loop, integrating seamlessly with existing security and workflow tools without requiring tool replacement.

Internal Validation Results

Hexaware conducted its own evaluation across four detection lanes on production codebases, consolidating 334 findings. Of these, 14 were ultimately verified as genuine vulnerabilities. A separate developer‑validated review of 262 findings uncovered a new authentication‑bypass weakness that pattern‑based rules had missed, underscoring the importance of validation.

Executive Commentary

  • Mohit Vaish, EVP & Business Head – Cybersecurity, stated that AI is dramatically accelerating vulnerability discovery while remediation capacity remains limited, and that Zero Vulnerability aims to “make risk fall faster than new findings arrive.”
  • Siddharth Dhar, President & Global Head, Digital IT Operations & AI, highlighted that remediation effort varies by asset type and that the offering provides a consistent prioritisation and management framework, leveraging AI to route issues to the right owners more quickly.

Strategic Positioning

Zero Vulnerability is presented as a core component of Hexaware’s broader Zero Friction Enterprise™ vision, aligning with the company’s commitment to continuous exposure reduction and AI‑native security operations. The service is marketed as compatible with any existing security ecosystem, enabling enterprises to enhance remediation efficiency without overhauling their toolsets.
