AI security
Agentic AI security
Give AI agents only the access they need, and keep a record of every action they take.
Agentic AI security governs AI agents that call tools, APIs and applications on your behalf. Nexapp applies identity, least-privilege access and inspection to those agents, so an agent can reach only what policy allows and its activity is logged.
What it does
AI agents do more than answer questions. They open tickets, query databases, call APIs and move files, often through a service account with far more access than the task needs. If an agent is misconfigured or manipulated, it can act at machine speed across many systems. Agentic AI security treats each agent as an identity in its own right. It limits which applications and tools the agent may call, inspects the traffic it generates and records what it did. The agent stays useful, and a mistake stays contained.
How it works in Nexapp
Agents as identities
Each agent is treated as its own identity in policy, separate from human users, so you can see and control it on its own terms.
Least-privilege access
Zero trust rules decide which applications, APIs and tools an agent may reach. Access is granted app by app, not to the network.
Inspection of agent traffic
Agent requests pass through the same inspection and DLP rules as user traffic, so sensitive data is not sent where policy does not allow.
A full audit trail
Agent activity is logged with the rest of the platform, can feed XDR incidents and can be exported to your SIEM.
Where teams use it
Service-desk automation
An IT team lets an agent reset passwords and raise tickets, but blocks it from reaching HR or finance systems.
Reporting agents in banking operations
An agent that pulls daily reconciliation reports is limited to the reporting application, and each call it makes is logged for audit.
Plant data collection
An agent that gathers production data from plant systems can reach those systems only, not the corporate network behind them.
Frequently asked questions
Why do AI agents need their own controls?
Agents act without a person at the keyboard, often at high volume.
Giving each one its own identity and narrow access limits the damage if an agent is wrong or compromised.
What happens when an agent tries something outside policy?
The request is denied and logged.
The event appears in reports and can feed an XDR incident for your security team.
Does Nexapp's own AI follow the same principle?
Yes. NexParth AI, Nexapp's operations assistant, proposes a fix and waits for an authorised person to approve it before it acts, and records every step.
