ThreatLocker announced the launch of Zero Trust AI Control (ZTAIC), giving organizations a tool to deploy agentic AI without surrendering control of their environments. ZTAIC enables security teams to give AI agents exactly what they need to perform their jobs while keeping everything else out of reach, said the company, even as agents invoke other applications and processes to take action.
AI guardrails aspire to define how an agent should behave, but AI continues to find ways around self-enforcement of those rules. ZTAIC solves that challenge by independently governing what agents are allowed to do. By applying controls outside AI deployments, ZTAIC keeps security boundaries in place even if an agent behaves unexpectedly, ThreatLocker explained.
“The security challenge has fundamentally changed because AI agents aren’t just providing information anymore. They’re being used to take actions across an organization’s environment,” said Danny Jenkins, CEO and co-founder of ThreatLocker. “Organizations around the world need a way to adopt AI with the peace of mind that they aren’t handing over the keys to their environments.”
ZTAIC takes much of the work out of securing AI with recommended policies ready to put into action. Security teams can start with pre-built guardrails, tailor them to their environment, and quickly establish strong boundaries around how AI agents operate.
