Enterprise AI agent security
AI coding agent security
Coding agents are the highest-volume autonomous software in most enterprises. Security must be built around actions — file, shell, git, cloud CLI, MCP — not around whether the IDE is approved.
Control point
Separate the developer’s authority from the coding agent’s — enforce at shell, MCP, and file operations.

The AI Agent Exposure Assessment runs Audit Mode on a pilot developer group for fourteen days and delivers evidence your security leadership can act on — then you enforce what matters.

- •Separate human and agent authority on the same laptop.
- •Block or audit sensitive reads and production commands at attempt time.
- •Measure exposure before turning on Prevent mode.
Common questions
How is this different from securing the IDE binary?
EDR asks if software is malicious. AI coding agent security asks if this autonomous action is allowed — a different control problem.
