TLDR: Akto has launched its Agentic Security Platform, an end-to-end solution designed to protect enterprises from the unique and complex risks posed by autonomous AI agents. The platform offers comprehensive visibility, continuous red teaming, and real-time guardrails to prevent AI agents from executing unauthorized or harmful actions.
SAN FRANCISCO – September 26, 2025 – Akto today announced the official launch of its Agentic Security Platform, a groundbreaking, end-to-end security solution specifically engineered for the era of autonomous AI agents. This platform is designed to provide robust protection for enterprises as they increasingly deploy AI agents at scale and adopt Model Context Protocols (MCPs).
The rapid evolution of AI has led enterprises beyond simple Large Language Models (LLMs) and chatbots to sophisticated, multi-step AI agents that interact with numerous APIs, tools, and sensitive data sources. This shift presents an urgent and novel security challenge that traditional Application Security (AppSec) tools are ill-equipped to handle. Unlike conventional web applications and APIs, AI agents can autonomously generate their own actions, chain multiple tools together, and access highly sensitive information, making them prime targets for exploitation.
Akto’s Agentic Security Platform addresses these critical vulnerabilities by delivering complete visibility into agent activities, continuous ‘Agentic red teaming’ to simulate attacks, and real-time guardrails to prevent agents from going rogue. The platform seamlessly integrates with existing agentic environments, including MCP servers, tools, APIs, and various resources. It automatically inventories all agents, simulates potential attacks through sophisticated red teaming exercises, and enforces runtime guardrails.
Security teams leveraging the platform will gain real-time insights into risky prompts, detect unauthorized tool calls, and identify dangerous multi-step chains. Crucially, the platform’s policies are designed to stop these malicious or unintended actions before any damage can occur. Akto is already collaborating with Fortune 500 organizations to secure their MCPs and AI agent environments.
Ankush Jain, Co-Founder and CTO at Akto, emphasized the urgency of the new platform, stating, “We’re seeing enterprises adopt agents faster than they can secure them. 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.”
