Operant AI launches Agent Protector for secure AI agent deployment

Operant AI Inc. has launched Agent Protector, a real-time security solution designed to enable the safe deployment of artificial intelligence agents at scale. The platform addresses the growing security gaps that emerge as organizations increasingly adopt AI agents across various platforms and workflows. Agent Protector provides comprehensive visibility, real-time protection, and governance for both managed and unmanaged AI agents, as reported by Silicon Angle.

Agent Protector integrates several security features, including shadow agent discovery, secure development enclaves, cloud-native observability, behavioral threat detection, and zero-trust enforcement. The solution aims to combat risks such as unauthorized access, data exfiltration, and privilege escalation by analyzing agent supply chains, assessing trust scores, and detecting anomalous tool sequences. It also discovers unmanaged agents and identities across cloud and SaaS environments. For custom agents, it offers secure enclaves and a low-code security framework compatible with platforms like LangGraph and CrewAI. Real-time monitoring provides visibility into agent operations, from prompts to memory stores, with least-permissioned access controls tailored to each agent.
