Operant AI has introduced Agent Protector, a groundbreaking security platform purpose-built for the agentic AI era. The solution delivers continuous discovery, inline protection, and zero trust enforcement for both managed and unmanaged AI agents across cloud platforms, development environments, and enterprise workflows—addressing critical visibility and governance gaps as organizations rapidly deploy autonomous AI systems.

Quick Intel

  • Agent Protector is the first unified solution combining shadow agent discovery, secure development enclaves, cloud-native observability, inline behavioral threat detection, and zero trust enforcement tailored for agentic AI.
  • Detects and blocks sophisticated threats in real time, including anomalous tool sequences, privilege escalation, persistence, data exfiltration, shadow escape attempts, and over-permissioned activities.
  • Provides complete discovery of unmanaged agents, MCP servers, tools, and dependencies across cloud and SaaS environments, creating comprehensive agentic identity catalogs.
  • Offers low-code secure enclaves for custom agents (LangGraph, CrewAI, n8n, ChatGPT Agents SDK) with runtime scanning and embeddable security primitives.
  • Delivers real-time observability with full tracing (prompts to tools to memory), execution telemetry, activity timelines, and tool dependency graphs.
  • Implements dynamic least-privilege access, runtime re-authorization, prompt guardrails, data loss prevention, memory poisoning protection, and intelligent rate-limiting.

Closing the Agentic Security Gap

As enterprises integrate task-specific AI agents—projected by Gartner to reach 40% of applications by end-2026—security teams struggle to maintain visibility and control over autonomous systems with broad access to data and tools. Agent Protector addresses this by shifting from perimeter-based defenses to real-time, intent-aware protection across the full agent lifecycle.

Vrajesh Bhavsar, Co-Founder and CEO of Operant AI, stated: “AI agents are proliferating across enterprises faster than security teams can track them. From cloud-based agents to SaaS environments and custom implementations, organizations are facing an explosion of autonomous systems with access to sensitive data and critical tools. Agent Protector gives security teams real-time visibility and inline control they need to safely enable AI innovation.”

Real-World Validation

Suhel Khan, Head of Cybersecurity at Chargebee, commented: “Agentic AI is forcing financial services to redraw trust boundaries—perimeter-first security breaks down when autonomous agents can traverse apps, APIs, and data stores without a human in the loop. Operant’s real-time protection across the full agent toolchain lets technology leaders move fast without compromising customer privacy, making it a foundational control, rather than an afterthought.”

About Operant AI

Operant AI is an emerging leader that delivers comprehensive, real-time protection for Agentic AI from agents to AI applications to MCP. Operant’s AI Gatekeeper and MCP Gateway solutions provide real-time discovery, detection, and defense capabilities with in-line auto-redaction of sensitive data and private mode operation, ensuring data privacy standards do not stand in the way of AI innovation, while actively protecting against the most critical AI attacks including prompt injection, data exfiltration, tool poisoning, rogue agents, 0-click attacks, and zero-day vulnerabilities. Operant’s new Agent Protector revolutionizes real-time security for AI Agents across the entire Agentic Ecosystem.
