Lasso Security has launched Intent Deputy, the industry’s first behavioral intent framework designed specifically to secure AI agents. This new product operationalizes Lasso’s “Intent Security” vision, shifting security from static content scanning to dynamic, real-time analysis of behavioral intent across AI interactions.
Enterprises are rapidly moving toward autonomous AI agents capable of reasoning, planning, and executing multi-step workflows across sensitive systems. This evolution expands the attack surface into non-deterministic territory, where context and intent determine whether actions are benign or harmful.
Legacy tools dependent on regex patterns, keyword filtering, or slow LLM-based detection fall short against sophisticated threats such as indirect prompt injection, unauthorized tool usage, or behavioral drift. These approaches often miss subtle anomalies while introducing latency that harms user experience.
Intent Security reframes protection by analyzing the full behavioral context of AI interactions to understand intent, enabling precise identification and blocking of deviations before escalation.
“Intent Security represents the breakthrough security paradigm this rapidly evolving market demands, and Intent Deputy is our first-of-its-kind solution delivering it. It equips security teams with precise behavioral baselines to identify and stop agent deviations, caused by misconfiguration, behavioral drift, or malicious intent, in real time, before they escalate.” – Elad Schulman, CEO & Co-Founder, Lasso Security
“OpenClaw is shadow AI with a broader blast radius,” said Elad Schulman, CEO & Co-Founder, Lasso Security. “Employees adopt these tools because they genuinely help them work better, but the autonomous scale amplifies familiar vulnerabilities into enterprise-wide threats. Prohibition isn’t viable; the path forward is intelligent governance through deep behavioral visibility.”
As the runtime engine of the Lasso AI Security Platform, Intent Deputy applies deep behavioral-intent analysis to every AI session.
Ophir Dror, Lasso’s CPO & Co-Founder, explained, “Legacy tools only look at content: what the user asked or the AI output. Intent Deputy asks the real question: Is this action aligned with the agent's authorized purpose? A marketing agent suddenly generating code? That's often scope drift, not malice. By creating unique behavioral fingerprints for agents, as we do for humans, we detect anomalies in real time, deliver explainable audits for compliance, and let enterprises adopt agentic AI safely.”
Core capabilities include:
Itzik Menashe, CISO & VP IT Productivity at Telit Cinterion, shares, "As we scale AI agents across the enterprise, the security challenge isn't just what data flows through them, it's understanding why they're taking the actions they take. Legacy tools may force enterprises to choose between security rigor and agent performance. Lasso's approach brings behavioral visibility into an AI environment at the speed business requires, without compromising the user experience that drives adoption."
