Menlo Security targets real-time AI agent security with MARS platform
As AI agents gain access to enterprise systems and sensitive data, security teams need greater visibility into their actions. Real-time monitoring and policy enforcement are becoming essential as a part of prompt injection technology.
With these challenges in mind, Menlo Security Inc. has sought to respond with Menlo Agent Runtime Security (MARS). In this new environment, many are concerned about the risks associated with AI agents, according to Ramin Farassat (pictured), chief product officer of Menlo Security.
“Agents have access to your data. That data can be exfiltrated, and also agents could be quite gullible,” Farassat said. “An agent could be fooled with commands and prompts through prompt poisoning to perform tasks that it’s not designed to be performing.”
Farassat spoke with Krista Case at Black Hat USA, during an exclusive broadcast on theCUBE, SiliconANGLE Media’s livestreaming studio. They discussed real-time security controls for AI agents and protecting enterprise data from prompt injection attacks. (* Disclosure below.)
