Secure the agent before an autonomous action becomes an incident.

AI agents read files, query data, select tools, use MCP, call APIs and execute actions. Moving from content generation to autonomous action creates a new security surface.

Ariovis relies on AccuKnox to extend identity architectures to the code, tools, workloads and runtime behaviour of the agent.

Why this layer was missing

IAM governs identities and access. But an autonomous agent adds other surfaces: code, dependencies, model, dataset, prompt, RAG, memory, tools, MCP servers, APIs, processes, files, network and workload.

AccuKnox extends that chain to execution: see what makes up the agent, understand what it actually does and act before, during and after it runs.

Code and supply chain
Models and datasets
Prompts, RAG and memory
Tools, MCP and APIs
Workloads and runtime
Detection and containment

From build to runtime

Four stages structure the protection. Exact capabilities and deployment modes are confirmed during technical scoping.

01
Discover
Inventory and prioritise the AI surface actually in place.
- AI-SPM
- AI assets and Shadow AI
- Models, agents, datasets and pipelines
- Exposure and dependencies
02
Test before production
Test the build and behaviour before an agent can act.
- AI Red Teaming
- Prompt injection and jailbreak
- Models and datasets
- Supply chain and build controls
03
Protect execution
Control language, agentic interfaces and the workload.
- Prompt / Response Firewall
- Tools, MCP and agentic APIs
- Capability restrictions
- Runtime sandbox, processes, files and network
- Technical identity and workload attestation
04
Detect and respond
Connect technical signals into an actionable timeline.
- AI-DR
- Abnormal behaviour and exfiltration
- Containment
- SOC, SIEM and ticketing
- Timeline and evidence

Technical identity, attestation and governance capabilities are qualified during scoping: they do not replace IGA or the identity lifecycle governance owned by IAM.

AccuKnox and Axiomatics do not make the same decision

The two layers can meet at runtime without being interchangeable.

Axiomatics — Decide

Should this action be authorized?

Business policy
Identity, resource and action
Context and purpose
ABAC / PBAC
Externalized decision

AccuKnox — Protect execution

What is the agent actually doing, and how can dangerous behaviour be stopped?

Agent, tool and MCP
Prompt, model and data
Workload and process
Files and network
Detection and containment

An Axiomatics policy can decide whether a business action is allowed or denied. AccuKnox provides the visibility and controls needed to secure the environment in which that action is prepared and executed, then detect or contain abnormal behaviour.
