Cyberhaven announced Agentic Data Security (ADS), a new solution designed to help CISOs and AI governance leaders safely adopt AI agents while maintaining control over sensitive company data. The technology provides visibility into how AI agents access and use information, allowing organizations to monitor their activity and prevent unauthorized data transfers using the same security protections already in place for employees.
ADS shows security teams what every agent does with company data, who it is acting for, where the data goes next, and stops sensitive data before it leaves. The companies leaning furthest into the agentic future, from frontier AI labs to top quant hedge funds, already rely on Cyberhaven to protect their most sensitive data. ADS extends that protection to AI agents and is available.
ADS is the latest module of Cyberhaven Flow and represents the next step in the technology strategy the company introduced in July, which brings data lineage, identity, and behavior together to protect data across every human and agentic workflow. Delivered on the same platform, ADS applies data lineage and a policy engine to agents, without adding another tool, console, or set of policies.
As agents move from pilots to production, security leaders across industries are asking the same question: what is an agent doing with our data, and who sent it? Agents act with the access of the people they serve, at machine speed, so a single agent can read a file, query a database, and share what it finds within one workflow. Cyberhaven Labs found that endpoint-based agentic AI app adoption doubled year over year, reaching 60% in May 2026. This rapid adoption creates novel data risks that can originate with “trusted” agents.
“The first agent data incident at most companies won’t look like an attack,” said Nishant Doshi, Cyberhaven CEO. “It will be an agent doing exactly what it was asked to do, with data it should never have touched. Most companies will adopt agents faster than they can build new controls for them. ADS lets companies keep the agents and keep control of the data.”
Keep the Agents, Keep Control of the Data
ADS gives security teams four controls over every agent:
- Find every agent. Discover every AI tool and agent running across endpoints, any cloud or browser, including unsanctioned apps, and score each one for risk.
- See what it does. Capture prompts, tool calls, file reads, and responses, along with the data involved in each step, creating a record of every agent action.
- Know who sent it. Tie each action to the person or system behind it, with people and agents in one view.
- Stop data before it leaves. Apply the policies already in place for people to agent actions, and contain sensitive data before it leaves, without blocking teams from adopting AI.
AI changed work. Cyberhaven protects it.
