Bengaluru, India, Feb 6: Operant AI, a leading provider of AI security solutions, today announced the launch of Agent Protector, the first security platform designed specifically for the rapidly growing landscape of autonomous AI agents. The solution delivers complete visibility across managed and unmanaged agents, real-time rogue agent detection with inline blocking, and zero-trust enforcement tailored for agentic systems.
As enterprises increasingly deploy AI agents across cloud platforms, developer environments, and internal workflows, existing security frameworks struggle to provide adequate governance, control, and visibility. Gartner predicts that by the end of 2026, 40% of enterprise applications will integrate task-specific AI agents, up from less than 5% today, highlighting the urgent need for purpose-built security solutions.
Addressing Rogue AI and Emerging Threats
Rogue AI agents—autonomous systems operating beyond their intended parameters—pose significant risks including unauthorized access, data exfiltration, and operational disruption. Recent incidents, including large-scale cyber campaigns using autonomous agents, demonstrate the real-world consequences of uncontrolled AI behavior. Agent Protector mitigates these risks through advanced real-time detection, intent analysis, and proactive inline blocking to prevent malicious or unauthorized actions.
Key Capabilities of Agent Protector
- Real-Time Rogue Agent Detection: Identifies anomalous agent activity, blocks unauthorized privilege escalation, and prevents zero-click and shadow escape attacks.
- Discovery of Shadow Agents & Identities: Provides complete visibility into unmanaged agents across cloud, SaaS, and development environments.
- Secure Enclaves for Custom Agents: Integrates seamlessly with platforms such as LangGraph, CrewAI, n8n, and ChatGPT Agents SDK, offering low-code runtime security and embeddable safety primitives.
- Cloud-Native Observability & Monitoring: Tracks agent activity from prompts to tools to memory stores, generating execution telemetry, activity timelines, and correlation graphs in real time.
- Zero Trust Enforcement: Implements least-permissioned access, runtime re-authorization, inline prompt security guardrails, data loss prevention, and sandboxing for agent memory and context, ensuring continuous protection.
Executive Insights
“AI agents are proliferating faster than security teams can monitor them. Agent Protector empowers enterprises with real-time visibility, inline controls, and automated defenses, enabling safe innovation without compromising security,” said Vrajesh Bhavsar, Co-founder and CEO, Operant AI.
“Agentic AI is redefining trust boundaries. Operant’s real-time protection across the full agent lifecycle ensures organizations can harness AI productivity while safeguarding data and customer privacy,” added Suhel Khan, Head of Cybersecurity, Chargebee.
