The Problem

Enterprises are deploying AI agents, AI apps, and AI-connected APIs faster than quarterly security reviews can track. Security teams may know risky AI behavior is happening, but detection after the fact is too slow when agents can exfiltrate data, invoke tools, or cross compliance boundaries in seconds. Buyers need a practical way to move from AI inventory to runtime control without becoming the bottleneck for engineering teams.

Potential Solution

Start as a productized security service for CISOs and AppSec leaders: discover production AI workloads, map agents to users, tools, APIs, data classes, and models, then run a short runtime control assessment. The service delivers a prioritized control plan, shadow-mode policy tests showing what would have been blocked, and implementation of enforcement rules through existing API gateways, cloud logs, proxy controls, WAF/API security tools, and AI governance platforms. Over time, repeatable playbooks and evidence templates can become a managed control operation or lightweight software layer.

Why Now?

AI agents are moving from experiments into production workflows, while audit and compliance expectations are shifting from policy documents to proof that controls worked. Traditional incident response and quarterly discovery cycles are mismatched to AI deployment speed.

The Cybersecurity Defenders PodcastJul 29, 2026

Don't expect everybody requiring you to understand everything about AI. That creates too much stress, and it's impossible. And if you're a security person, you won't be able to understand everything about AI security. I'm an AI security generalist by choice, right? I, because of my role in the standardization and recommending organizations in their change programs in order to incorporate AI in their existing way of working. But I think the majority of what we need is people who specialize in specific parts of AI security. Pick the part that you like, that suits you. If you're good in math, you may be, you know, great in training and fine-tuning models.
