KnowBe4, the world-renowned platform that comprehensively addresses human and agentic AI risk management, today announced the launch of Agent Risk Manager, the industry's first defense system designed to secure, monitor, and govern the behavior of autonomous AI agents. KnowBe4 Agent Risk Manager arrives as a cornerstone of the KnowBe4 HRM+ platform, fundamentally changing how organizations quantify and mitigate risks of the human and AI workforce. A new security gap has emerged as workflows shift from AI assisted to agent managed.
Agent Risk Manager provides real-time operational layer governing agent behavior post-deployment.
Uses 15 years of behavior data to predict when an agent deviates from safe operating parameters.
Includes prompt injection detection via machine learning-powered analysis.
Sensitive information detection uses 20+ classifiers to scan for PII and credentials.
Unbounded consumption detection monitors resource abuse and "runaway" agents.
Agent inventory automatically catalogues agents and tools across tenants.
The industry has spent years securing the human element, but today, AI agents are the newest members of our workforce. However, securing the prompt is only half the battle. Agent Risk Manager focuses on the output and actions of these agents, ensuring that as they move through your network, they do not become the ultimate shadow IT or a backdoor for sophisticated prompt injection attacks. We are moving from a world of human risk to universal risk. Whether it is a human being tricked by a deepfake or an AI agent being manipulated by a malicious prompt, KnowBe4 is the only platform capable of defending both.
Agent Risk Manager provides behavioral guardrails through real-time monitoring of agent actions to prevent unauthorized data exfiltration or jailbroken autonomous execution; agentic identity governance to identify access permissions and tools that the agent has access to; adversarial simulation for agents to stress-test AI agents against the latest prompt injection and social engineering tactics used by hackers; built from industry-leading data using 15 years of behavior data to predict when an agent deviates from safe operating parameters; prompt injection detection via machine learning-powered analysis that identifies jailbreaks, logic overrides, and indirect injections across user messages and tool outputs; sensitive information detection using 20+ classifiers to scan for PII and credentials; unbounded consumption detection to monitor for resource abuse and "runaway" agents; agent inventory to automatically catalogue agents and tools across tenants; audit log for compliance-ready records of all agent actions; integration management for centralized lifecycle management across multiple tenants; and guided onboarding achieving first-agent discovery in minutes without professional services.
