Star Metro - Innodata Releases the First Stage of Its AI Cyber Training Suite to Enable AI Coding Agents to Write - and Repair - Secure Code

NEW YORK, NY / ACCESS Newswire / August 4, 2026 / INNODATA INC. (Nasdaq:INOD) today released the first stage of its AI Cyber Training Suite - twelve datasets and evaluation systems that train AI coding agents to write code that avoids known security flaws, to avoid introducing new ones, and to patch existing vulnerabilities in the software companies already run. The suite addresses what has become a central barrier to trusting AI-written code: the risk that an agent, while adding a feature or modernizing a legacy system, quietly opens a security hole. The AI Cyber Training Suite works across the stack of coding agents - the models, the harnesses, and the tools - to help ensure the code they produce is not just functional, but secure. It is available to model builders and enterprises beginning today.

The suite is built on thousands of real security flaws discovered over the past ten years across Python, TypeScript, JavaScript, Rust, C, Go, and other languages, spanning a wide range of platforms and service integrations including Linux, macOS, Android, Windows, AWS, GCP, and many others. Each flaw was untangled by hand by Innodata's cybersecurity engineers and rebuilt, with a targeted attack, inside a sealed offline copy of the vulnerable software. That construction is what makes the suite unusually rigorous: it measures an AI's ability to patch a vulnerability by verifying that the original attack can no longer succeed against the fixed code, while confirming at the same time that the software still works as intended. The result is data and evaluations that both train coding agents to avoid vulnerabilities in the first place and test their ability to repair vulnerabilities that already exist.

"For model builders, these evaluations and data sets enable coding agents - the models, harnesses, and tools - to ensure the code they generate is not just effective, but secure," said Yonatan Brander, who leads the cybersecurity data engineering team at Innodata. "And for enterprises, they provide something equally important: confidence that when teams refactor, add features, or modernize legacy systems with AI agents, they are not reintroducing the very vulnerabilities they had already avoided or patched."

For enterprises, that means they can use AI to modernize legacy systems while minimizing the risk of introducing security flaws and use AI to patch identified vulnerabilities.

Innodata tested the ability of ten leading AI models and agents to repair verified security flaws, finding that the best open-weight AI models repaired at most 23% of these verified flaws - even when shown exactly where each one was. But after a single round of fine-tuning on a portion of the suite's data, the model's ability to patch vulnerabilities without being guided to them more than doubled, rising from 18.4% to 41.2%.

"AI now writes a growing share of the world's code, and the agents writing it have to ensure that code is secure," said Jack Abuhoff, Chief Executive Officer of Innodata. "Otherwise, businesses can't depend on AI-generated code without a professional security team reviewing everything it produces - and that is a real blocker to AI adoption. The Cyber OTS Suite helps companies confidently put agent-generated code into production."
