TELUS Digital’s Fuel iX™ Fortify Wins 2026 BIG Innovation Award for AI Safety and Security Automated Red-Teaming and Monitoring Solution

Press ReleaseJanuary 15, 2026

Key Takeaways

Fuel iX Fortify automatically generates thousands of novel adversarial attacks, continuously identifying enterprise generative AI (GenAI) system risks before vulnerabilities can be exploited
Fortify turns generative AI risk into actionable insight for security teams, significantly accelerating AI model testing, vulnerability identification and mitigation compared to manual and ad hoc red-teaming approaches
As enterprises move GenAI from pilots to production, continuous AI safety and security testing is essential, allowing teams to stay ahead of rapidly evolving threats

Vancouver, B.C. (January 15, 2026) –TELUS Digital, the global technology division of TELUS Corporation (TSX: T, NYSE: TU) specializing in digital customer experiences (CX) and future-focused digital transformations, today announced that its Fuel iX™ Fortify automated red-teaming and monitoring solution for generative AI (GenAI) applications has been named an Innovative Product Winner in the 2026 BIG Innovation Awards. The global awards program, run by the Business Intelligence Group, recognizes companies, products and leaders that are transforming industries through applied innovation, intelligent platforms and measurable real-world impact.

“The 2026 BIG Innovation Awards winners show that true innovation is no longer about chasing the latest buzzwords,” said Russ Fordyce, Chief Recognition Officer at the Business Intelligence Group. “It’s about building intelligent platforms, automating workflows with purpose, and making trust, privacy, and resilience the foundation of every breakthrough. These organizations and leaders are not just keeping pace with change, they are shaping the future of global business.”

Advancing enterprise AI safety and security through automated red teaming

Fuel iX Fortify was recognized for its outstanding contributions to innovation in Business Services. Fortify software generates thousands of novel adversarial attacks that help enterprises uncover risks before they can be exploited, in minutes rather than weeks. It enables organizations to proactively identify vulnerabilities and continuously monitor GenAI applications to ensure safety, compliance and trustworthiness through continuous automated red teaming. Designed for both technical and non-technical teams, Fortify’s intuitive interface, comprehensive attack capabilities and automated reporting allow organizations to rapidly pinpoint vulnerabilities, map hidden risks and strengthen AI governance.

"This global recognition underscores the fundamental shift required to deliver GenAI safety and security,” said Bret Kinsella, General Manager, Fuel iX at TELUS Digital. “Traditional security tools don’t meet the needs introduced by probabilistic AI technologies. Preventing risk and guarding against attacks on GenAI systems requires ongoing monitoring that involves novel attacks, delivered at scale and frequency. We built Fortify to serve as a source of truth and early warning system for GenAI application risk. In our research, every AI model we tested showed exploitable vulnerabilities, with attack success rates reaching as high as 64%, even under identical security controls. Organizations can't scale AI pilots confidently when security concerns bottleneck innovation. Fortify enables both technical and non-technical users to focus on remediating GenAI vulnerabilities before they are exploited."

Fuel iX Fortify turns generative AI risk into actionable insight at scale

In real-world deployments, Fuel iX Fortify has delivered measurable impact across highly regulated environments. A major Canadian healthcare provider reduced GenAI testing time by up to 97% and achieved a 99.6% in vulnerability classification accuracy, while onboarding non-technical staff in under 30 minutes. In another deployment, a national telecommunications provider generated more than 5,000 novel targeted attacks in just over six hours, achieving 12 times the testing coverage and identifying three times as many vulnerabilities compared with manual methods previously used for testing AI models. This efficacy and efficiency enables enterprise teams to test more frequently at higher volume and focus their time on mitigating risk instead of identifying risks, accelerating AI model testing across the lifecycle.

TELUS Digital joins leading organizations recognized in the 2026 BIG Innovation Awards for their contributions across health, financial services, logistics, manufacturing and enterprise technology. This year’s winners reflect a broader shift in how innovation is being defined, with an emphasis on practical deployment, automation at scale and trust-first design.
