Real-Time AI Behavioral Intent Analysis for Secure Agent Management

Enterprises Adopt Autonomous AI Agents, Creating New Security Challenges

Enterprises are increasingly adopting autonomous AI agents that operate across sensitive systems, accessing data and executing multi-step workflows on behalf of users. However, this shift has created a non-deterministic attack surface where context and intent determine whether identical content is benign or malicious. Traditional security tools, which rely on static content analysis, are ill-equipped to address this challenge.

Lasso Security Launches Intent Deputy to Secure AI Agents

Lasso Security has launched Intent Deputy, a behavioral intent framework designed to secure AI agents at runtime. This solution interprets intent, decision flow, and operational context to deliver real-time insight into AI behavior. By analyzing the full interaction lifecycle, Intent Deputy identifies and stops agent deviations caused by misconfiguration, behavioral drift, or malicious intent.

According to Elad Schulman, CEO of Lasso Security, “Intent Security represents a breakthrough security paradigm that addresses the evolving needs of the market. Intent Deputy equips security teams with precise behavioral baselines to detect and stop anomalies in real time, before they escalate.”

The Urgency of the Issue: OpenClaw and Shadow AI

The rise of tools like OpenClaw has highlighted the urgency of this issue. OpenClaw empowers users with significant autonomy, but misconfigurations or manipulations can expose credentials, local files, and connected services, or trigger rogue behaviors such as mass spamming.

“OpenClaw is shadow AI with a broader blast radius,” Schulman noted. “Employees adopt these tools because they genuinely help them work better, but the autonomous scale amplifies familiar vulnerabilities into enterprise-wide threats.”

Intent Deputy: Shifting Focus to Dynamic Understanding of Intent

Intent Deputy addresses this gap by shifting the focus from static content analysis to dynamic understanding of intent across the full interaction lifecycle. This solution analyzes the behavioral intent behind every AI interaction, delivering deeper and more meaningful protection.

Ophir Dror, Lasso’s CPO, explained, “Legacy tools only look at content, whereas Intent Deputy asks whether an action is aligned with the agent’s authorized purpose. By creating unique behavioral fingerprints for agents, we detect anomalies in real time and deliver explainable audits for compliance.”

Intent Deputy’s Core Capabilities

Intent Deputy delivers on the Intent Security vision through four core capabilities: intent alignment, real-time protection, behavioral baselines, and explainable compliance. This solution verifies that every action an AI agent takes is aligned with its authorized purpose, detects threats in real time without degrading performance, creates unique behavioral fingerprints for users and agents, and provides human-readable evidence of AI behavior.

According to Itzik Menashe, CISO VP IT Productivity at Telit Cinterion, “As we scale AI agents across the enterprise, the security challenge isn’t just what data flows through them, it’s understanding why they’re taking the actions they take. Lasso’s approach brings behavioral visibility into an AI environment at the speed business requires, without compromising the user experience that drives adoption.”
