What is an Agent Access Security Broker?
An AASB is the governance layer between AI coding agents and your organization's systems. It discovers, analyzes, and enforces policy over every agent interaction — from terminal commands to MCP tool calls.
Why Current Security Doesn't Cover AI Agents
CASB Was for Cloud Apps
CASBs govern employee access to SaaS. But AI agents aren't employees — they're autonomous code executors with tool access that bypasses traditional controls.
IAM Doesn't See Agents
Identity and access management tracks human users. AI agents operate under developer credentials but act autonomously — IAM can't distinguish human from agent actions.
AppSec Misses the Agent Layer
Application security focuses on code vulnerabilities. But the risk isn't in the code the agent writes — it's in the commands it runs, the files it reads, and the tools it calls.
The AASB Framework
If CASB secured employee access to cloud apps, AASB secures agent access to tools, files, systems, and actions.
