Agent Tool Security

An agent that can read a file AND send an email has all the capabilities needed for data exfiltration — even if neither capability is dangerous alone. Here's how to secure every tool your agent touches.

Content Governance & Compliance

California's AI guardrail laws are now in effect. The EU AI Act high-risk provisions land in August 2026. Your agent's compliance posture isn't about what it was trained to do — it's about what it's enforced to do at runtime. Here's how to build content governance that survives an audit.

Network & URL Safety

36% of MCP servers are vulnerable to SSRF. SSRF attacks surged 452% in a single year. Your AI agent has network access — here's how to stop it from becoming a proxy for attackers targeting your internal infrastructure.

Privilege Escalation & Access Control

Your AI agent has database access, API credentials, and tool permissions. An attacker doesn't need to steal those credentials — they just need to convince the agent to use them. Here's how to enforce access control at the policy layer when traditional IAM falls short.

Toxic & Harmful Content Filtering

our AI agent can generate hate speech, explicit content, and harmful instructions — even if the underlying model has safety training. Here's why model-level alignment isn't enough and how to enforce content safety at the policy layer.

PII, PHI & Secrets Leakage

Your AI agent doesn't know the difference between a helpful answer and a compliance violation. Social Security numbers, medical record numbers, API keys — if it's in the context, it's in the response. Here's how to stop it.

Agent Reliability & Operational

The AI agent security conversation focuses on adversarial threats — prompt injection, data exfiltration, privilege escalation. But for most organizations operating agents in production, the day-to-day risk isn't an attacker. It's an agent that silently enters an infinite loop, burns through your API budget at 3 AM, or sends malformed data to a downstream system that expected valid JSON.
