AI Agent Security

Know what every AI agent can access—and what it can do.

An agent has an identity, a model, data access, tools, permissions, and can take actions autonomously. ZXita profiles that surface so security teams can see capability and the exposure it creates.

Agent Capability Surface

Every agent is a connected set of capabilities.

ZXita maps the identity an agent runs as, the model it uses, the data and APIs it can reach, the tools it can invoke, the permissions it holds, and the actions it can take.

What ZXita Discovers

Identity, model, data, tools, APIs, permissions, actions.

For each agent, ZXita makes the full capability surface visible. The values below use the Customer Support Agent example.

  • iam.identity

    Identity

    The identity the agent runs as.

    support-agent-prod
  • ai.model

    Model

    The model the agent uses to reason and act.

    Enterprise LLM
  • data.access

    Data

    The data the agent can reach.

    Customer CRMKnowledge Base
  • tools.connected

    Tools

    The tools the agent can invoke.

    CRM APIEmail API
  • apis.external

    APIs

    The APIs those tools expose to the agent.

  • iam.grants

    Permissions

    What the identity is allowed to do.

    CRM READCRM WRITEEMAIL SEND
  • runtime.actions

    Actions

    What the agent can actually do.

Capability → Exposure

Capability is what creates exposure.

ZXita connects what an agent can access and do to the security exposure that follows—so risk is derived from the full chain, not from a model in isolation.

AI Agent Threat Model

The conditions that raise agent risk.

ZXita treats agent risk as a set of observable conditions—sensitive data access, write permission, external communication, autonomous action, and no human approval. Shown here on the Customer Support Agent example.

  • Sensitive data access

    Customer CRM, Knowledge Base

    Customer data is in the agent's reach.

  • Write permission

    CRM WRITE

    The agent can modify customer records.

  • External communication

    EMAIL SEND

    The agent can send customer email without a gate.

  • Autonomous action

    Update customer record, Send customer email

    Actions can execute without a human in the loop.

  • No human approval

    Runtime actions

    There is no required approval before the agent acts.

Prioritized Remediation

Turn exposure into a specific fix.

ZXita translates agent findings into practical, prioritized remediation—starting with unnecessary capability.

FindingPRIORITY: HIGH

Customer Support Agent has CRM WRITE access.

Reduce CRM permission from READ/WRITE to READ unless record modification is required.

Continuous Agent Posture

Agent posture changes. ZXita keeps watch.

New tools, expanded permissions, and new actions can shift an agent from medium to high. ZXita tracks that change over time.
