Xage Security unveiled significant upgrades to its Zero Trust for Artificial Intelligence (AI) platform, delivering a secure, jailbreak-resistant framework for autonomous AI agents used in high-risk and closed-loop environments. The enhanced AI security features provide organizations with full visibility into AI activity and granular control over agent behavior across hybrid and distributed systems.
“AI is ready to move beyond the sandbox, but enterprises cannot safely deploy it in production unless they know exactly what agents are doing and can control the actions they take,” said Duncan Greatwood, CEO of Xage Security. “Xage provides the deterministic visibility and enforcement organizations need to prevent rogue behavior, manipulation and unintended consequences. With Xage, enterprises can confidently put AI’s potential into action across high-stakes real-world environments, from cloud and SaaS applications to on-prem and edge systems.”
AI Has Been Moving Faster Than Enterprise Security
Enterprises are rapidly moving AI agents closer to production as they connect them to APIs, SaaS platforms, databases, internal applications, cloud services and operational technology (OT) environments. Meanwhile, individual users are deploying their own “shadow AI” agents, often granting them broad access to critical resources.
Many organizations lack the deterministic visibility and control needed to govern what these agents can see, do, and change. Without strong enforcement, agents may be manipulated by prompt injection, take unauthorized actions or exfiltrate sensitive data. Although Gartner, Inc. previously predicted that 40% of AI projects would be canceled by 2027 due to inadequate risk controls, Xage enables enterprises to move AI from sandboxed experimentation into real-world production environments with confidence.
The Xage Zero Trust for AI Solution: Agent Sentry and Resource Gateway
Xage delivers end-to-end visibility and control across the full AI interaction chain, including users, agents, LLMs, tools and cloud or internal applications. Its new Zero Trust for AI solution combines two major capabilities:
- Xage Agent Sentry: Encapsulates the AI agent wherever it runs, monitoring everything
that goes into and out of the agent. - Xage Resource Gateway: Sits in front of critical resources to govern how AI systems
interact with them.
Together, these capabilities allow organizations to see exactly what agents are doing, block unauthorized behavior and maintain detailed logs for governance and audit. Unlike solutions focused on prompts or model outputs, Xage controls the actions agents can actually take at the network-interaction, local event and OS-call levels.
Real-World Use Cases: Securing the Autonomous Frontier
To move AI beyond constrained pilots, organizations must address the practical risks of agency. Xage’s architecture provides a safety net for several critical production scenarios:
- Governing Sensitive Enterprise Data: An AI chatbot can be allowed to read certain
database records while being blocked from making unauthorized changes. Xage’s
multihop capability ensures that if a low-privileged user utilizes a highly privileged AI,
their privileges are not escalated. - Stopping Prompt Injection and Rogue Behavior: If an AI agent receives a document
containing hidden malicious instructions and attempts to create a script or take an
unauthorized action, Xage Agent Sentry detects and blocks it. - Securing Closed-Loop Autonomous AI: For agents that operate over long periods
without constant human approval – making changes and adapting based on feedback –
Xage enforces policy and limits unintended consequences. Organizations can choose to
allow full automation or keep a human in the loop.
Securing the Agent Lifecycle and Detecting Anomalies
Xage provides a practical foundation for managing AI agents throughout their operational life. Each agent is assigned a secure digital identity upon onboarding, allowing teams to define agent-specific policies based on role, resource and time-bound need. Xage even detects unmanaged or “shadow AI” agents, so that they can either be onboarded for management or removed.
If an agent is compromised, Xage blocks its attempts at harmful actions, limiting the blast radius of the attack. By recording specific details of agent actions, Xage enables powerful anomaly detection, including:
- Behavioral Baselining: Identifying deviations such as unusually high activity, or
unauthorized write actions from an agent that normally only reads. - Early Warning Systems: Flagging unexpected behavior for review before it becomes a
broader risk. - SIEM/SOC Integration: Feeding logs and detected anomalies into existing security tools
for large-scale deployments.
Continuous Momentum in Zero Trust for AI
This announcement builds on Xage’s previously announced Zero Trust for AI capabilities for MCP and A2A. Xage is now providing comprehensive protection against AI abuse for all of an organization’s critical resources, including MCP- and API-accessible assets, SaaS applications, cloud services and on-prem and edge systems. By securing both the agent itself through Agent Sentry and the resources it touches via the Resource Gateway, Xage wraps AI activity with jailbreak-proof visibility and control.
