Thales announced Sentinel Envelope Plus, a new paid add-on to its Sentinel Envelope software protection solution that hardens compiled applications against AI-assisted reverse engineering, automated zero-day vulnerability discovery and automated exploit generation without requiring source code changes. In a controlled test, an AI agent identified 8 of 10 vulnerabilities in an unprotected application, but found none in the same application protected with Sentinel Envelope Plus, despite 970 times the token consumption, and ultimately recommended discontinuing the analysis after nearly seven hours. The add-on transforms and recompiles selected security-sensitive parts of an application, adding layers of protection against decompilation, tampering and runtime inspection, and can be combined with optional licensing controls. Damien Bullot, Vice President of Software Monetization at Thales, said the extra time AI-assisted attacks require gives vendors a larger window to identify issues, deploy fixes and protect customers. Thales, listed on Euronext Paris under HO, employs more than 85,000 people in 65 countries and reported sales of €22.1 billion in 2025.
Thales S.A.Thales launched Sentinel Envelope Plus, a new product that blocks AI-assisted reverse engineering and automated exploit generation, strengthening its software protection offering.
