Operant AI Launches AI Gatekeeper for Enterprise Security

Operant AI, a Silicon Valley-based cybersecurity startup, has launched AI Gatekeeper, a real-time security platform designed to protect live AI applications, agents, and complex multi-agent AI workflows across diverse cloud environments. The platform addresses escalating security threats associated with rapid adoption of autonomous AI agents, particularly in high-growth markets like India, where enterprises are increasingly relying on third-party vendors for AI deployment. Key features of AI Gatekeeper include trust scoring, agentic access controls, threat blocking for model context protocols, and defense against rogue agents, model poisoning, and data leakage. Operant AI’s CEO emphasized that the rapid evolution and scale of AI systems demand comprehensive, runtime security solutions that span Kubernetes, private, hybrid, and edge infrastructures. The platform provides enterprises with advanced threat modeling, real-time protection, and AI security graphs that map risk across all AI workloads and platforms. Operant AI's expansion into India follows a $13.5 million Series A funding round and aligns with initiatives to provide AI-native security solutions for sectors like fintech, healthcare, and enterprise software.
