Introducing Agent Security

Snyk introduces Agent Security and Evo AI-SPM to address the challenges of managing AI risks in organizations, particularly focusing on the lifecycle of AI agents from code to runtime. The article highlights the issue of "Shadow AI," where AI components are integrated into applications without centralized oversight, creating visibility and governance gaps. Evo AI-SPM provides a foundational system for tracking AI components, offering risk intelligence and enabling organizations to enforce governance policies across development workflows before reaching production. As AI agents increasingly automate software development and operations, Snyk's approach integrates security into CI/CD pipelines, monitors agent behavior, and enforces policies in real-time to prevent unsafe actions. The solution aims to provide comprehensive visibility and control over AI usage, ensuring that organizations can assess and mitigate risks effectively as these technologies become more embedded in modern software systems.
