As enterprises move AI agents from experimentation to production, securing complex AI stacks has become a pressing concern across the cybertech ecosystem. Akto has announced new partnerships with LangChain, Portkey, TrueFoundry, Arcade.dev, and LiteLLM to expand real time protection for AI agent environments. The initiative aims to embed security directly into the infrastructure where developers build and operate AI systems, addressing growing risks tied to agentic workflows. The Akto AI Agent Security partnerships are designed to deliver in line defense against threats such as prompt injection, unauthorized tool access, and sensitive data leakage.

The announcement comes as enterprises face increasing challenges in managing the security of distributed AI architectures. With AI agents operating across gateways, runtimes, frameworks, and deployment platforms, the attack surface has become fragmented. According to Akto, 79 percent of enterprises currently have limited or no visibility into what their AI agents are executing at runtime. This lack of transparency creates vulnerabilities that can be exploited through malicious inputs, privilege escalation, or unintended data exposure.

By integrating natively with leading AI infrastructure platforms, Akto enables security controls to operate directly within existing workflows. These integrations provide runtime guardrails, continuous discovery, and observability without requiring engineering teams to reconfigure their systems. The approach ensures that protection is embedded across every layer of the AI stack, allowing security to move alongside the agent rather than being added after deployment.

Ankita Gupta, Chief Executive Officer and Co Founder of Akto, emphasized the importance of this approach, stating, “Security has to be embedded where developers build, not where security teams wish they would build. The enterprises deploying AI agents today are betting their most critical workflows on these platforms. Our job is to make sure security is never the reason those AI workloads slow down or get blocked. By partnering with the platforms teams already use to build and operate AI agents, we’re making agentic runtime protection the default, not an afterthought.”

Each partnership extends Akto’s capabilities across different layers of the AI ecosystem. Integration with Portkey enables automatic protection for AI agents routing requests across large language models. The collaboration with TrueFoundry secures traffic flows and governance controls within production AI systems. Arcade.dev adds runtime inspection of tool execution and responses, helping prevent malicious interactions. LiteLLM integration brings real time guardrails enforcement across open source AI gateways, while LangChain integration enables visibility and policy enforcement across multi step agent workflows.

Together, these integrations address some of the most critical risks facing enterprises, including prompt injection attacks, uncontrolled tool access, data leakage through model responses, and the emergence of shadow AI agents operating outside governance frameworks. By securing interactions at runtime, Akto helps organizations maintain control over increasingly autonomous systems.

The Akto AI Agent Security partnerships also reflect a broader shift in enterprise security strategy. As AI adoption accelerates, organizations are moving toward security by default within the development lifecycle rather than relying on reactive measures. This evolution signals a transition to continuous AI security posture management, where protection is integrated into every stage of AI deployment and operation.
