Cyberhaven launches Agentic Data Security to track and control AI data use
Cyberhaven launches Agentic Data Security to track and control AI agent data usage.
Cyberhaven has released Agentic Data Security (ADS), a new module designed to provide CISOs and data security teams with visibility and control over how AI agents interact with company data. The tool aims to address the growing insider risk associated with AI agents by tracking their actions, identifying who initiated them, and preventing sensitive data exfiltration, thereby enabling organizations to adopt AI agents more confidently.

The lesson from this incident
Full lessonAs AI agents are granted access to sensitive company data to perform automated tasks, organizations face a critical blind spot: traditional data security tools were not designed to track non-human actors. Without visibility into what data AI agents are accessing, who authorized those actions, and where data is being sent, insider risk expands dramatically. This matters because a single misconfigured or compromised AI agent can exfiltrate large volumes of sensitive data at machine speed, far outpacing human-driven threats. The launch of tools like Cyberhaven's ADS signals that the industry is recognizing AI agents as a new and distinct threat surface requiring dedicated controls.
What helps against this
How we list vendors- Identity threat detection and response (ITDR)
Attackers who log in with real, stolen credentials get noticed.
- Data loss prevention (DLP)
Sensitive data cannot quietly leave by email, upload, USB stick or AI tool.
- AI application security
Prompt injection, data leaks through AI tools and unapproved AI use get caught.
