Manage AI Exposure

Detect and protect AI workloads running across your endpoints.

Developers, teams, and entire organizations are deploying AI tools faster than security teams can see them. Spektion provides continuous runtime visibility into every AI agent, coding assistant, inference server, and AI-generated executable operating across your environment.

Runtime monitoring across endpoints

24/7 observation. No scan windows, no gaps.

AI risk is defined by runtime behavior — not tool names.

AI workloads are expanding your attack surface

Employees are deploying AI tools across endpoints. These workloads behave like any other software process—executing code, accessing credentials, making network requests, and running with elevated privileges.

But most security tools were never designed to understand them.

None of your existing tools can see this risk

Where AI introduces real exposure

These risks exist whether a policy allows them or not.
You can't govern what you can't see.

1. Coding assistants accessing proprietary source code

2. Inference servers exposed to the network

3. MCP servers storing credentials in plaintext

4. CAI agents executing commands with elevated privileges

5. AI-generated executables with no provenance or review

How Spektion works

Zero-day defense, before and after disclosure. Spektion covers both.

Without Spektion

AI runtimes invisible to your VM stack
MCP credentials in plaintext, undetected
Shadow coding assistants with no oversight
AI agents running with elevated privileges
AI-generated executables with no provenance
No governance without inventory

With Spektion

Full inventory of every AI tool and agent
Credential leakage flagged and tracked
Every coding assistant classified: sanctioned vs. shadow
Privilege context and blast radius for AI workloads
AI-generated executables observed and risk-scored
Policy enforcement starts with visibility
Full inventory of every AI tool and agent
Capabilities

What runtime reveals about AI risk.

Five capabilities delivered by the same lightweight agent. No additional deployment required.

Inventory every AI workload at runtime

Spektion continuously discovers and classifies every AI tool, agent, inference server, and model runtime across workstations, servers, and containers—giving security teams a live, always-current view of what's actually running.

Govern coding assistants and shadow AI

Spektion identifies unauthorized coding assistants—Cursor, Copilot, Claude Code—accessing source code repositories and executing commands, distinguishing sanctioned tools from shadow ones against organizational policy.

Expose credential leakage in AI configurations

Spektion detects plaintext API keys and tokens embedded in AI and MCP server configuration files before they become a breach, and tracks them through to remediation.

Map and secure MCP servers and autonomous agents

Spektion discovers every Model Context Protocol server exposing tools, data, and credentials to AI agents, and inventories multi-agent frameworks executing code and making network requests without human oversight.

Assess exploitability across privilege, exposure, and AI-generated code

Spektion analyzes execution context to flag AI workloads running with excessive privileges, inference servers exposed on open network interfaces, and AI-generated executables with no CVE or signature — scoring risk based on real runtime state.

Customer Quote

"We discovered coding assistants running on dozens of machines we didn't know about. Spektion’s runtime telemetry found them in near real time—including several with plaintext API keys.

How it works

From shadow AI to continuous governance.

Four steps. One agent. No reboot required.

Step 1

Deploy the runtime sensor

Install a lightweight agent across endpoints and servers. Deployment takes under five minutes per endpoint. No reboot required. Supports Intune, SCCM, Ansible, JAMF, Tanium, and CrowdStrike RTR.

Step 2

Continuously discover AI workloads automatically

Spektion identifies every AI agent, inference server, and coding assistant operating across the environment — including tools you didn't know were installed.

Step 3

Assess AI exposure risk

Runtime analysis detects credential exposure, privilege misuse, exposed inference servers, and unauthorized AI tools—scored by actual risk, not guesswork.

Step 4

Prioritize remediation

Security teams receive risk-scored findings and specific recommended remediation actions to satisfy your organizational AI security baseline.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions about Spektion's AI exposure management

If you're in a bake-off or building the business case, these are the answers you'll need.

Why can't legacy vulnerability management tools detect AI risk?

Spektion observes runtime behavior continuously—it doesn't wait for a scan trigger. When a zero-day is disclosed, query Spektion to find exactly which endpoints are running the affected software, whether it's actively executing, what privileges it has, and how exposed it is. Your existing Spektion telemetry has the answer—no new collection cycle needed.Most security tools analyze signatures, logs, or known vulnerabilities. AI workloads are legitimate processes that introduce risk through runtime behavior rather than known exploits. Your EDR sees them as normal activity. Your scanner finds no CVE. Spektion detects them and evaluates the risk they create in your environment.

What is shadow AI?

Shadow AI refers to AI tools deployed without security approval or governance — Cursor installed by a developer, an Ollama inference server spun up on a workstation, an autonomous agent a team built internally. These tools may be entirely legitimate in purpose but create real exposure when they access credentials, run with elevated privileges, or reach the network without oversight.

How is this different from AI CASB tools?

CASB tools monitor SaaS-layer traffic — what data flows through AI services at the network edge. Spektion observes AI workloads executing directly on endpoints and servers — what processes are running, with what privileges, accessing what resources. These are complementary problems. Spektion solves what CASB tools structurally cannot see.

Can Spektion detect custom AI agents?

Yes. Spektion detects AI workloads through runtime behavior rather than tool signatures or databases of known tools. If a custom agent is executing on an endpoint — calling APIs, loading models, generating code — Spektion observes it and evaluates the risk it creates.

Does Spektion require a separate deployment from vulnerability management?

No. The same lightweight agent that discovers and governs AI workloads also handles CVE exploitability assessment and non-CVE weakness detection. Most customers fund Spektion from their VM/endpoint security budget, their AI security initiative budget, or both. One agent, one platform, two problems solved.

What does the Proof-of-Value (POV) look like for AI exposure?

A typical trial runs three weeks across 100–500 endpoints. Week 1: Deploy, access first runtime data within minutes, see your full AI workload inventory — tools, agents, MCP servers, credentials in configs. Week 2: Review findings together and walk through exposure reduction. Week 3: Validate results and build the business case with real data from your real environment.
