Get the New State of AI & API Security Report (H1 2026)

AI agents are your new workforce — and your new attack surface

Protect the APIs that power your AI from abuse, manipulation, and compromise.

01 Discover and monitor AI agent API activity

Agentic AI operates through APIs. Salt gives you visibility into every interaction.

  • Track API calls from AI agents: know exactly which APIs are being triggered, when, and by what type of agent.
  • Behavioral profiling of agents: model how agents typically interact so anomalies stand out.
  • Autonomous access alerts: identify elevated or inappropriate privileges used by agents.

02 Detect and stop logic exploits targeting AI

AI is vulnerable to prompt injections, data poisoning, and command manipulation, all via APIs.

  • Prompt injection detection: spot malformed input or abuse patterns designed to manipulate agent behavior.
  • Model manipulation monitoring: track payloads targeting training endpoints or inference manipulation.
  • Abuse of trust boundaries: prevent agents from triggering workflows they shouldn’t have access to.

03 Secure the trust layer for AI interactions

Consumers interact with AI via APIs. Salt helps secure that trust.

  • Monitor sensitive data exchanges: understand what personal info is being passed between user and AI.
  • Audit agent-led transactions: get a complete timeline of what an AI did, when, and through which APIs.
  • Prove policy enforcement: ensure AI agents don’t bypass business logic or compliance checks.

Deep dive: for DevSecOps

Correlate agent behavior with identity/auth tokens and API session flows
Detect AI-specific misuse like query loops, hallucinated access, or prompt chaining
Feed findings into AI governance tools or model assurance pipelines
Set up API-level policies to restrict agent actions by scope or context
