The AI Security market has exploded over the past year, for good reason. New AI tools and capabilities become available every week, and tend to get in employees’ hands faster than Security teams are aware of them. Over the past year, most enterprise Security teams were told to accept whatever risk AI transformation introduced internally, and ensure any mitigating controls didn’t stifle innovation.
Latio’s 2026 AI Security Market Report, published today, shows that this is beginning to change. Compared to the findings from their inaugural report in 2025, demand for AI security tools jumped from 8% to 37%, with 45% of respondents citing endpoint agents like Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s Codex as their primary AI security concern.
Runlayer is proud to be recognized by Latio as an AI Security Endpoint Leader, providing in-depth security and control of AI use on the endpoint. Latio evaluated vendors on their ability to map agent permissions and govern their blast radius, apply deterministic runtime controls to skills and MCPs, and facilitate intent-based runtime security detections. Runlayer’s AI control plane delivers all of that and more, providing employees a golden path to accelerate AI adoption with security and control built-in.
How Runlayer delivers in-depth AI endpoint security
For enterprise security teams working to strengthen their AI security posture without blocking innovation, Runlayer provides the infrastructure to detect, prevent, and respond to rogue agentic behavior.
- Know and control what your agents can actually do.
In order to control agent behavior, you must first gain visibility into all agents running across your workforce. Runlayer facilitates deep shadow AI discovery on the endpoint, surfacing every AI client, agent, skill, and MCP currently in use. Layering on Agent IAM and granular deterministic policies, you can apply least privilege access on a per-user and per-agent basis to reduce the potential blast radius. - Govern every MCP and skill.
MCP servers and skills have become the new software supply chain, and most enterprises have little to no visibility into what's running, what packages they carry, or what they're authorized to do. Runlayer changes that with an employee-facing catalog of governed MCPs and skills ready to share across the workforce. Employees see a one-stop-shop to accelerate their work. Behind the scenes, Security teams get a powerful set of security scanners to detect and prevent malicious MCP tool calls and skill files, both proactively and at runtime. - Track every session, from intent to action.
Agents are becoming more powerful, with the ability to reason through complex problems and complete hours-long sessions. It’s critical that Security teams have complete visibility into agent sessions so they can respond quickly when the need arises. Runlayer logs every single action across agent sessions, from user inputs to agent reasoning steps, tool calls, actions, and final outputs. The full audit trail can be used to investigate incidents directly in Runlayer, or easily exported to third-party SIEMs.
Make the safe path the golden path
Enterprises shouldn’t have to choose between accelerating AI adoption and preventing rogue agent behavior. With Runlayer, they don’t. Runlayer delivers the golden path to AI transformation. One where the easy way to use AI is also the secure and governed way.
