Astrix offers AI agents that are designed with security in mind to assist businesses in managing compliance risks. Astrix Security has introduced the AI Agent Control Plane (ACP), a solution meant for deploying secure AI agents throughout an organization. Through ACP, each AI agent is provided with temporary and specific credentials, along with access based on the principle of least privilege. This approach helps to eliminate disorderly access and decrease compliance risks.
Alon Jackson, the CEO of Astrix, highlighted the growing threat of malicious actions by AI agents, citing studies indicating that 80% of companies have encountered unintended behaviors by these agents. He emphasized Astrix’s commitment to enhancing productivity and promoting responsible technology adoption. The launch of ACP is aimed at addressing security concerns related to AI agents comprehensively. The Discover-Secure-Deploy framework ensures that customers can leverage the benefits of AI agents without compromising security.
Astrix’s clients currently utilize the platform to identify unauthorized AI agents and enforce security measures to prevent policy breaches. With ACP, they can now extend their capabilities to securely deploy AI agents. The integrated Discover-Secure-Deploy framework equips enterprises with a unified strategy for adopting agentic AI responsibly, regardless of whether the agents are internally developed, third-party, or unauthorized “shadow” deployments.
Idan Gour, the CTO of Astrix, emphasized the importance of Non-Human Identities (NHIs) in ensuring the security of AI agents. He underlined that securing NHIs is crucial for controlling agent access and behavior effectively. Astrix has been a pioneer in NHI security since 2021, assisting large enterprises in extending traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) practices to cover NHIs comprehensively. By combining expertise in NHIs with advanced monitoring capabilities, Astrix stands out as a leading solution for securing AI agents.
The ACP offers three key advantages: streamlined audits for enhanced transparency and accountability, secure access management for AI agents through least-privilege credentials, and improved developer efficiency with policy-driven workflows. The process involves creating detailed permission profiles, launching approved AI agents, and centralized monitoring for real-time management.
With ACP, Astrix provides a comprehensive solution for securing AI agents within enterprises: Discovering all AI agents and associated NHIs and machine credentials; Securing by identifying vulnerabilities and enforcing strict access policies; Deploying securely designed AI agents with controlled access mechanisms and audit trails managed through ACP.
