Building an AI Guardian for Enterprise with Onyx Security CEO Maxim Bar Kogan

Autonomous AI agents introduce exponential security risks to enterprises, ranging from accidental data deletion to unauthorized code publication, necessitating a new paradigm for oversight. Traditional security tools fail to address these threats because they lack visibility into the intent behind agentic actions. Onyx Security addresses this by training specialized, lightweight models that function as a control plane, evaluating agent behavior in real-time to ensure legitimacy without sacrificing performance or latency. This independent governance is essential as enterprises adopt a multi-vendor AI strategy, where relying solely on model providers for security is insufficient. By leveraging deep adversarial expertise, this approach shifts from human-in-the-loop monitoring to automated, context-aware oversight, providing a foundational layer of trust as AI agents increasingly manage critical infrastructure and complex software tasks.
