Akto unveiled the Agentic Security Platform, a comprehensive security solution purpose-built for enterprises deploying autonomous AI agents at scale. The platform ensures full visibility, continuous Agentic red teaming, and real-time guardrails to prevent AI agents from acting outside approved parameters, especially as organizations adopt the Model Context Protocol (MCPs).
As businesses move beyond single large language models (LLMs) and chatbots to multi-step AI agents interacting with numerous APIs, tools, and sensitive data, security leaders face unprecedented challenges. These agents introduce a new attack surface, including prompt injection, poisoned memory, cascading hallucinations, and unauthorized tool usage threats that traditional application security (AppSec) solutions cannot detect or mitigate.

“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 platform is built around three core pillars:
- Agentic Visibility & Discovery: Provides a complete inventory of agents, MCP servers, tools, and data sources, along with lineage tracking to understand dependencies and associated risks.
- Agentic Red Teaming: Conducts continuous attack simulations powered by Akto’s AI Agent Attack Matrix, the world’s largest database of over 1,000 real-world agent exploits.
- Guardrails & Runtime Protection: Enforces enterprise policies to 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.”

Unlike traditional AppSec tools, which focus on web apps and APIs, Agentic Security addresses risks unique to autonomous agents. These agents autonomously generate actions, chain multiple tools together, and access sensitive information creating vulnerabilities that legacy solutions cannot manage.
The platform integrates seamlessly with MCP servers, tools, APIs, and resources. It automatically inventories agents, runs continuous red-team simulations, and applies enforceable guardrails. Security teams gain real-time insights into risky prompts, unauthorized tool calls, and dangerous multi-step actions, stopping potential damage before it occurs.
Akto is collaborating with Fortune 500 companies to secure their MCPs and AI agent environments. The company will also showcase the platform at the industry-first virtual Agentic Security Conference on September 30, 2025.
