Organizations can now embrace agentive AI without relinquishing control over their environment.
Orlando, Florida, October 20 /PRNewswire/ — Global zero-trust cybersecurity provider ThreatLocker® today announced the launch of Zero Trust AI Control (ZTAIC), a tool that enables organizations to deploy agent-based AI without surrendering control over their environments. ThreatLocker states that ZTAIC allows security teams to grant AI agents only the permissions necessary to complete their tasks while excluding everything else—even when those agents invoke other applications and processes to perform actions.
AI guardrails are designed to define how agents should behave, but AI can still find ways to bypass self-imposed rules. ThreatLocker states that ZTAIC addresses this issue by independently controlling the operations an agent is permitted to perform. By enforcing controls outside the AI deployment, ZTAIC maintains security boundaries even when agents behave abnormally.
Danny Jenkins, CEO and co-founder of ThreatLocker, said, "Security challenges have fundamentally changed because AI agents are no longer just providing information—they are being used to perform actions within organizational environments." He added, "Organizations around the world need a way to adopt AI while ensuring they don’t hand over the keys to their environment."
ThreatLocker states that ZTAIC reduces the extensive effort required to secure AI by offering ready-to-use recommended policies. Security teams can start with pre-configured guardrails, adapt them to their specific environment, and quickly establish strong boundaries for how AI agents operate.
In today’s deployments, a single request to an AI agent may trigger actions across applications, scripts, browsers, and other services. ThreatLocker states that ZTAIC will maintain security boundaries throughout the workflow, controlling what the agent can access, execute, and connect to, while preventing it from bypassing existing protections.
ThreatLocker states that combining ThreatLocker Allowlisting and Web Content Control, ZTAIC enables security teams to maintain control throughout every stage of the AI lifecycle—from which AI applications and browser-based services are permitted into the environment, to what authorized AI agents can access and execute once running. The company says organizations can embrace AI on their own terms while retaining full control at every step through zero trust controls.
