Most AI security tools secure a slice.
Salt secures the entire agentic path.

AI agents and MCPs run on APIs. Salt builds on a decade of API security expertise to secure the entire agentic path.

✧ 100+ enterprise deployments across complex environments.

01 Discover Know what your agents can reach.

02 Govern Fix the paths that put you at risk.

03 Protect Stop abuse where actions happen.

Why point solutions fall short

Agentic risk crosses layers. Most AI security tools do not.

A secure prompt is not the same as a secure action. Risk moves from model to MCP server to tool to API to a real business system. You cannot secure an agent without securing what it can reach.

From security leaders

What changes when you can see the whole path.

Security teams use Salt to find the agents, MCP servers and APIs nobody inventoried, and to stop abuse their existing tools were never positioned to see.

We had guardrails on every model and still couldn't answer a simple question: what are our agents actually calling? Salt answered it in the first week.
