Enterprise AI agent security

Secure Cursor AI in the enterprise

Cursor combines editor, model, and agentic execution in one workflow. Enterprise security must treat the agent as its own actor — not as "just another app" on the laptop.

Control point

Separate the developer’s authority from the coding agent’s — enforce at shell, MCP, and file operations.

Prove exposure in your environment

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.

Enterprise requirements

  • Visibility into which tools and terminals the agent invokes.
  • Policies that survive offline work and local execution.
  • Evidence for security review without guessing from prompts.

Execution enforcement, not prompt filtering

  • Decisions at shell, MCP, API, and file operations — not chat text alone.
  • Complements EDR; answers authorization for autonomous software.
  • Fourteen-day exposure assessment on a real developer cohort.

Common questions

Do we need to ban Cursor to be secure?

No. Define boundaries, run Audit Mode, then enforce — teams keep velocity with explicit agent authority limits.
