Akto Launches Agentic Security Platform to Protect Enterprises from AI Agent Risks

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Akto today announced the launch of the Agentic Security Platform, the end-to-end security solution purpose-built for the age of autonomous AI agents. Designed to protect enterprises as they deploy AI agents at scale and adopt the Model Context Protocol (MCPs), the platform delivers complete visibility, continuous Agentic red teaming, and real-time guardrails to stop agents from going rogue.

As enterprises move beyond single LLMs and chatbots to multi-step agents that interact with dozens of APIs, tools, and sensitive data sources, security leaders face an urgent new challenge. These agents create a brand-new attack surface - prompt injection, poisoned memory, cascading hallucinations, and unauthorized tool use - that traditional application security (AppSec) tools cannot detect or defend against.

"AI agents are no longer experiments, they're entering production, and they're touching sensitive data, financial systems, and customer interactions," said  Ankita Gupta, Co-Founder and CEO at Akto. "The problem is clear: enterprises risk shipping agents without visibility, controls, and continuous assurance. Akto's Agentic Security Platform is built to provide exactly that: guardrails designed for this new Agentic-first era."

The Agentic Security Platform consists of three core pillars:

• Agentic Visibility & Discovery: A complete inventory of agents, MCP servers, tools, and data sources, with lineage tracking to understand dependencies and risks.
• Agentic Red Teaming: Continuous attack simulations powered by Akto's AI Agent Attack Matrix, the world's largest database of 1,000+ real-world agent exploits.
• Guardrails & Runtime Protection: Enforceable enterprise policies that block risky agent behavior and unauthorized actions in real time.

"We're seeing enterprises adopt agents faster than they can secure them," added Ankush Jain, Co-Founder and CTO at Akto. "With Akto, security teams finally get ahead of the curve. They can discover every agent, continuously stress-test them, and enforce runtime guardrails before agents cause real-world damage."

Why is Agentic Security different from traditional AppSec?
Traditional AppSec tools were built for web apps and APIs, not autonomous agents. Agents can generate their own actions, chain multiple tools together, and access sensitive data. This creates risks like prompt injection, poisoned memory, and cascading failures that legacy security tools cannot detect. Agentic Security addresses these new risks directly.

How does Akto platform actually work?
The platform integrates with your agentic environment (MCP servers, tools, APIs, and resources). It automatically inventories agents, simulates attacks through red teaming, and applies runtime guardrails. Security teams receive real-time insights into risky prompts, unauthorized tool calls, and dangerous multi-step chains, with policies that can stop these actions before damage occurs.

Akto is working with Fortune 500 organizations to secure their MCPs and AI agent environments. The company will showcase the platform at the Industry-first virtual Agentic Security Conference on September 30, 2025.
