As enterprises rapidly adopt autonomous AI agents, the risk of unauthorized or destructive actions grows exponentially. Maximbar Kogan argues that traditional security tools fail because they lack the context to understand agent intent. Onyx Security is building a 'secure control plane' that uses specialized, lightweight models to oversee and validate agent behavior in real-time.
Key insight: Enterprises are reluctant to let foundation model labs like OpenAI or Anthropic monitor their agent activity because they fear the labs will use that sensitive operational data to further train their own models.
