Why Akto
AI agents don't behave like traditional apps. They pick tools at runtime, call MCP servers, handle sensitive data and act on a user's behalf, often without security teams knowing they exist. Traditional AppSec, cloud security and DLP tools weren't built to see or control that.
Akto secures AI where it runs, with two products:
| Akto Atlas | Akto Argus |
|---|
| Secures | AI used by employees on their devices | AI your company builds and runs |
| Covers | Coding agents, IDEs, AI chat apps, browser extensions, local models | Homegrown agents, MCP servers and GenAI apps in your cloud or on-prem |
| Core capabilities | Shadow AI discovery, posture, NHI governance, endpoint guardrails | Discovery, automated red teaming, runtime guardrails |

Akto Atlas: Agentic AI security for employee endpoints
Atlas secures the AI agents, MCP servers and GenAI tools your employees use, without getting in the way of their work.
- Agentic AI discovery: a continuously updated inventory of agents, MCP servers, LLMs, skills and plugins, mapped to each employee and device.
- AI security posture: one risk dashboard for agentic assets, exploits, sensitive-data events and guardrail coverage, mapped to frameworks such as MITRE ATLAS, CIS Controls, FedRAMP and CMMC.
- NHI governance: tracks the API keys, tokens and secrets that agentic tools create, with expiry tracking, rotation policies and violation alerts.
- Atlas Guardrails: inspects prompts, responses and tool calls on the device to block sensitive-data exposure, prompt injection, risky MCP tool calls, shadow AI and sign-ins with personal accounts.
Works with:
- Agentic CLIs and IDEs: Claude Code, Codex, Gemini, Copilot, Kiro, Cursor, VS Code and more
- AI apps: Claude, ChatGPT and Microsoft 365 Copilot
- Browser extensions: Chrome, Firefox and Safari
- Local models: Ollama, vLLM and others
Deployment: your existing EDR or MDM (CrowdStrike, SentinelOne, Microsoft Defender, Intune, Jamf and others), or a hosted or on-prem proxy.

Akto Argus: Agentic AI security for homegrown AI
Argus secures the AI agents, MCP servers and GenAI apps your teams build, from CI/CD through production.
- Discovery: finds AI agents, MCP servers and GenAI apps across your cloud environments and keeps the inventory current across dev, staging and prod.
- Automated red teaming: continuously scans agents and MCP servers in CI/CD with 4,000+ AI-specific probes. Tests cover prompt injection, tool misuse, unsafe actions, policy bypass and new attack patterns.
- Runtime guardrails: define and enforce what agents may do in production, including which tools, actions, topics and data they can reach.
- Integrations: 50+ connectors, eBPF-based visibility, cloud-native integrations, and agent platforms such as AWS Bedrock, Databricks and n8n. You can also route traffic through Akto's MCP Gateway or AI Gateway for central control.
