- AI agents are increasingly integrated into enterprise systems but introduce new security risks.
- A recent study found 80% of organizations have faced unintended AI agent actions such as unauthorized access or data leaks.
- Astrix has launched the Agent Control Plane (ACP), a tool specifically designed to provide secure-by-design management of AI agents across enterprises.
- ACP offers fast audits, least-privilege and just-in-time credentials for AI agents, and streamlined processes for developers.
- The solution uses a Discover–Secure–Deploy framework to help organizations identify, safeguard, and roll out AI agents responsibly.
Astrix introduced its AI Agent Control Plane (ACP) to address rising security challenges as AI agents gain wider use in enterprise environments. The company developed the platform to help organizations safely manage these automated tools, which operate around the clock and often interact with sensitive systems and data.
According to a recent study, 80% of organizations have already encountered cases where AI agents acted outside their intended scope. This includes incidents like unauthorized access to systems and data leaks. These risks stem from the scale and speed of agent deployment and from AI agents using non-human identities to execute tasks. Traditional identity and access management (IAM) solutions are not equipped to handle these new demands, the source notes.
With ACP, Astrix delivers security mechanisms tailored for AI. Each AI agent receives short-term, specifically defined credentials and just-in-time access following the principle of least privilege. The company states that this limits access risks and makes regulatory inspections more predictable. Audits are reportedly faster because ownership and activity are clearly tracked. Developers can also deploy agents efficiently, choosing from pre-approved access policies to avoid delays.
The platform works by allowing security teams to pre-define permission policies for specific agent use cases. Developers then assign the proper policy profile when they launch new agents. Once deployed, agents are centrally monitored in an inventory, with live management and policy adjustment options.
The company’s Discover–Secure–Deploy framework helps organizations gain visibility into all AI agents and their credentials, including API keys and service accounts. The platform supports identifying risky or excessive privileges, unusual activity, and policy violations for remediation.
Astrix notes that AI agents and non-human identities vastly outnumber employees in many organizations—by a ratio of 100:1—making them a significant blind spot for security teams. The ACP aims to provide a full view of these agents, enforce security guardrails, and help companies unlock AI’s benefits while minimizing exposure to new risks.
