AI Security Posture Management

AI agents expand your attack surface. Privilege is the control point that keeps adoption safe.

AI Security Posture Management Starts with Privilege

AI agents are multiplying across your environment. They authenticate, execute workflows, and access critical systems, just like your people do. An AI agent is only as useful as its level of access to your environment—but unlike your people, nobody is governing an AI’s privilege.

Attackers are exploiting the implicit trust and chaotic sprawl of AI in organizations to leverage privileges in unique ways. Identifying and controlling privileges is the key to secure AI adoption.

BeyondTrust maps the blast radius of every AI agent and identity in your environment, applies least-privilege controls, and helps ensure that even a compromised agent can’t cause damage. When you control the privilege, you control the risk.

The Current AI Security Market Is Misaligned to the True Problem

Check mark to visually show text has been copied

Most AI Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) solutions focus on the agent layer, scanning for misconfigurations, detecting prompt injection, and monitoring for privilege drift. That’s important, but it’s not where breaches happen.

Every AI security incident traces back to the same core problem: identities and access.

Agents with native vendor-provided guardrails in place aren't enough; agents can self-elevate privileges through downstream connections that bypass native controls.

Three questions most organizations can’t answer:

  • What can your AI agents access?
  • What actions can they take to change it?
  • Who’s governing any of it?

If you can’t answer all three, your AI posture has a gap. And it’s the kind of gap that CSPM, DSPM, and AI chat-layer controls were never designed to close.

Control the Privilege. Neutralize the Threat.

BeyondTrust takes a different, more effective approach to AI Security Posture Management. We don’t just monitor your AI agents, we govern what they can do. Our privilege-centric approach means that even if an agent is compromised through prompt injection, credential theft, or a supply chain attack, the potential blast radius is minimized.

Perspective: AI Agent Discovery and Blast Radius Analysis

Auto-discover every AI agent and non-human identity (NHI) across cloud, SaaS, and on-premises. See exactly what each agent can access, what actions it can take, and the full escalation path if compromised.

Control: Least-Privilege Enforcement for AI

Apply risk-scored access controls to every layer surrounding an AI agent. Excess privilege can be eliminated across all environments before an attacker can exploit it.

Detect: Identity Threat Detection & Response (ITDR) for AI

Leverage our unified Pathfinder Platform to monitor agent behavior in real-time, flag anomalies, and connect the dots between posture and privilege changes, authentication events, and lateral movement.

Prove: Continuous Compliance & Audit Readiness

Pathfinder's visibility and identity security controls help you better align your AI governance to OWASP, NIST AI RMF, EU AI Act, and more. Every agent, access decision, and revocation—logged, auditable, and defensible.

BeyondTrust Phantom Labs™ is an offensive AI security research team that proves theoretical risks and shares real-world evidence. So far Phantom Labs has:

  • Compromised a “properly-configured” enterprise Copilot Studio agent to obtain cloud infrastructure access
  • Demonstrated privilege escalation paths from SaaS integrations into AWS, GitHub, and Salesforce
  • Published coordinated vulnerability disclosures with major platform vendors
  • Actively contribute to OWASP AI security frameworks

Phantom Labs research is plugged directly into the BeyondTrust product roadmap. Ensuring you can be safeguarded from emerging agentic AI threats.

Get a free AI Identity Security Posture Assessment. We’ll map every AI agent in your environment, show you the blast radius, and identify the privilege gaps that put you at risk.

"Adopting Identity Security Insights® was a particularly eye-opening experience for us... We discovered multiple over-provisioned identities and service accounts… This level of visibility is important as we enter the new world of agentic AI. Identity Security Insights gives us the ability to prioritize and reduce the most critical risks in our environment—for both human and machine identities."

FAQs

Artificial Intelligence Security Posture Management (AI-SPM) is a strategic framework focused on continuously identifying, assessing, and reducing the security risks introduced by AI agents and AI-powered systems across your environment. The best approach to AI-SPM is to focus on the privilege layer because that’s where risk actually resides. All abuses of AI systems rely on utilizing the level of privilege they have.

Phantom Labs™ is BeyondTrust’s security research team. They sit at the front of AI innovation and threat research. Proving theoretical risks in AI with real world evidence. Phantom Labs looks ahead feeds their research directly into the BeyondTrust product roadmap, ensuring that defenses stay ahead of the latest threats in agentic AI.

AI agents introduce privilege risk that span the same domains as human users. BeyondTrust unifies AI-SPM with PAM, CIEM, and ITDR on the Pathfinder Platform so you can govern AI agent privileges alongside human and non-human identities in a single console. This eliminates the blind spots that emerge when AI security is managed as a standalone silo, disconnected from your broader identity security program.
