Operant AI Unveils Agent Protector, Real-Time Shield for Enterprise AI Agents
Agent Protector offers continuous discovery of both managed and unmanaged agents, inline threat blocking and identity-based controls tailored for autonomous systems.
Operant AI has launched Agent Protector, a new security platform aimed at protecting enterprises deploying AI agents across cloud, SaaS and internal systems. It is designed to provide real-time visibility, threat detection and zero-trust enforcement as organizations rapidly adopt autonomous AI tools.
The company said the rise of agentic AI has outpaced traditional security frameworks, creating risks around rogue agents accessing data or operating beyond intended permissions.
Agent Protector offers continuous discovery of both managed and unmanaged agents, inline threat blocking and identity-based controls tailored for autonomous systems. Gartner estimates that by the end of 2026, about 40% of enterprise applications will use task-specific AI agents, up from less than 5% today.
"From cloud-based agents to SaaS environments and custom implementations, organisations face an explosion of autonomous systems with access to sensitive data and critical tools. Agent Protector gives security teams the real-time visibility and inline control they need to safely enable AI innovation," said Vrajesh Bhavsar, Co-founder and CEO of Operant AI.
"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 — from MCP clients and endpoints to live, interactive agentic applications — lets technology leaders move fast without compromising customer privacy, making it a foundational control, rather than an afterthought," said Suhel Khan, industry veteran Head of Cybersecurity at Chargebee.
The platform is available now, with demos open to enterprises exploring agent-level security.
