Lasso Security, a platform focused on helping enterprises adopt AI securely at scale, has officially introduced Intent Deputy, the first behavioral intent framework designed specifically to secure AI agents. With this launch, the company is also defining a new security category called “Intent Security,” which shifts attention away from outdated data-pattern detection and instead focuses on understanding why AI systems act the way they do.
As enterprises increasingly move beyond basic chatbots and begin deploying autonomous AI agents, security challenges are rapidly evolving. These next-generation agents are capable of reasoning, planning, and executing multi-step workflows across sensitive environments. They can access internal data, call APIs, and even perform actions independently on behalf of users. Consequently, this creates a new and unpredictable attack surface where intent and context matter more than static content.

Elad Schulman, CEO & Co-Founder, Lasso Security, declared, “Intent Security represents the breakthrough security paradigm this rapidly evolving market demands, and Intent Deputy is our first-of-its-kind solution delivering it. It equips security teams with precise behavioral baselines to identify and stop agent deviations, caused by misconfiguration, behavioral drift, or malicious intent, in real time, before they escalate.”
Unlike traditional tools that rely heavily on keyword scanning, regex classifiers, or slow LLM-based detection, Intent Security addresses modern threats such as indirect prompt injection, tool misuse, and excessive autonomy. More importantly, it does so without degrading the user experience, which is critical for enterprise-wide adoption.
Furthermore, the rise of autonomous tools like OpenClaw highlights the urgency. While such platforms boost productivity, misconfigurations can expose credentials, local files, or connected services, triggering dangerous rogue behaviors.
“OpenClaw is shadow AI with a broader blast radius,” said Elad Schulman, CEO & Co-Founder, Lasso Security. “Employees adopt these tools because they genuinely help them work better, but the autonomous scale amplifies familiar vulnerabilities into enterprise-wide threats. Prohibition isn’t viable; the path forward is intelligent governance through deep behavioral visibility.”

To bring Intent Security into real-world practice, Intent Deputy serves as the runtime intelligence engine within the Lasso AI Security Platform. Instead of scanning prompts superficially, it evaluates full-session behavioral intent across every interaction.
Ophir Dror, Lasso’s CPO & Co-Founder, explained, “Legacy tools only look at content: what the user asked or the AI output. Intent Deputy asks the real question: Is this action aligned with the agent’s authorized purpose? A marketing agent suddenly generating code? That’s often scope drift, not malice. By creating unique behavioral fingerprints for agents, as we do for humans, we detect anomalies in real time, deliver explainable audits for compliance, and let enterprises adopt agentic AI safely.”
Intent Deputy offers four key capabilities: intent alignment, real-time protection, behavioral baselines, and explainable compliance auditing. It ensures enterprises can scale AI agents confidently while maintaining governance and security.
Itzik Menashe, CISO & VP IT Productivity at Telit Cinterion, shares, “As we scale AI agents across the enterprise, the security challenge isn’t just what data flows through them, it’s understanding why they’re taking the actions they take. Legacy tools may force enterprises to choose between security rigor and agent performance. Lasso’s approach brings behavioral visibility into an AI environment at the speed business requires, without compromising the user experience that drives adoption.”
