Executive Summary

Aurascape delivers industry-leading coverage of AI applications with a comprehensive database of 2,200+ AI applications and the capability to create production-ready connectors with a 48 hour service level agreement (SLA). This post outlines Aurascape’s robust application discovery process, multi-layered analysis capabilities, and automated bot architecture that enables organizations to achieve rapid deployment velocity while maintaining comprehensive security controls.

Application Coverage and Capabilities

Aurascape maintains an extensive, continuously evolving database of AI applications, currently containing 2,200+ catalogued applications as of November 25, 2025. For each application, Aurascape provides five critical capabilities:

• Application Identification & Control: Decode, allow, and block AI applications with granular policy enforcement
• Risk Assessment: Comprehensive risk evaluation including AI-specific factors such as data training, data retention, and content ownership models
• Conversation Analysis: Automated decoding and inspection of conversations within AI applications
• Behavioral Intent Recognition: Identify and classify application modes and advanced functionalities (e.g., Agent Mode in ChatGPT, Deep Research in Claude)
• Entitlement Information: Decode application entitlement tiers including free, pro, enterprise, team, and other subscription models

Continuous Database Evolution

The Aurascape database is not static; it evolves continuously to maintain comprehensive coverage:

• Daily addition of new applications with complete decoder implementations and risk characterizations
• Ongoing updates to application signatures as platforms evolve
• Continuous refinement of risk attributes and scoring
• New intent and entitlement classifications as applications introduce novel capabilities

Rapid Deployment: The 48-Hour Standard

While application discovery and connector creation are complementary processes, they are not directly correlated. Aurascape’s competitive advantage lies in its ability to rapidly create production-ready connectors through an optimized, bot-driven workflow.

This performance represents a significant acceleration compared to legacy SSE vendors. However, Aurascape acknowledges that not all applications can be covered within this timeframe, and recognizes the inherent challenges with unknown or newly emerging technologies:

• Complex Decoding Scenarios: Rare applications with exceptionally complex protocol architectures may require several days for decoder development
• Enterprise Licensing Constraints: Applications requiring paid enterprise licenses not in Aurascape’s catalog may experience extended timelines
• Unknown Unknowns: Novel application architectures or obfuscation techniques may require timeline extensions

Even accounting for these exceptions, Aurascape’s deployment velocity substantially exceeds legacy SSE vendor timelines, delivering measurable time-to-value for security teams.

Bot Architecture for Scalable Automation

To sustain rapid development velocity and maintain comprehensive coverage, Aurascape employs three specialized automated bots that work in concert:

Bot Capabilities Overview

Bot	Primary Function	Key Capabilities	Output
Discovery Bot	Identify new AI applications across the web	• Web crawling • API feed integration from app catalog sites • LLM-based AI app classification • Product page analysis • Pricing & ToS extraction	Verified AI application inventory with metadata
Risk Attribution Bot	Evaluate AI-specific risks for each application	• Automated collection of 25+ risk attributes • Data training analysis • Data retention evaluation • Generated content assessment • Security breach tracking • AI-centric risk scoring	Risk profiles with quantified threat scores
Decoder Bot	Generate automated application connectors	• HAR file generation & analysis • API structure deconstruction • JSON & Base64 encoding decoding • WebSocket protocol analysis • Protocol Buffer (protobuf) decoding •Reverse engineering pipeline	Production-ready connector for conversation analysis and security control

Robust Coverage Through Complementary Analysis

The three-bot architecture creates a comprehensive security framework by combining discovery, risk assessment, and technical analysis:

• Discovery Bot ensures no major AI application is overlooked through continuous web monitoring and API integrations
• Risk Attribution Bot contextualizes each application with AI-specific threat vectors including data privacy, IP rights, and security posture
• Decoder Bot enables real-time conversation inspection, data loss prevention, and access control enforcement

Together, these systems provide organizations with complete visibility and control over AI application usage, data flows, and security posture.

Real-World Coverage: Application Additions Over 30 Days

The following snapshot demonstrates Aurascape’s real-time coverage velocity and the scale of AI application landscape growth. During a recent 30-day period, Aurascape added comprehensive coverage for significant numbers of both newly discovered applications and brand-new market entrants:

Category	Count	Description
Newly Listed Applications	938	Existing AI applications newly discovered and added to the platform
Market Debuts	25	Brand-new AI applications just released to the world, immediately added to platform by Aurascape
Total Coverage Added	963	Combined new applications across both categories with full Aurascape capabilities

Limitations and Transparency

Important Disclaimer: While Aurascape’s automation capabilities are industry-leading, perfect coverage is not guaranteed. Complex or novel application architectures may require timeline extensions.

Conclusion

Aurascape delivers comprehensive AI application security through rapid deployment, continuous database updates, and automated bot-driven analysis. The 48-hour deployment capability for the vast majority of applications represents a material improvement over legacy SSE vendors, enabling security teams to respond to emerging AI applications with speed and confidence.

By combining discovery automation, sophisticated risk assessment, and advanced protocol analysis, Aurascape transforms AI application security from a reactive challenge into a managed, proactive capability.
