New real-time detections unlock visibility into agent behavior and flag high-risk actions in modern IT environments

SAN FRANCISCO: RSA Conference 2026 – Sysdig, the leader in real-time AI-powered cloud defense, today announced runtime security for AI coding agents, enabling organizations to safely adopt autonomous development tools. As enterprises rapidly deploy coding assistants such as Claude Code, Codex, and Gemini, Sysdig provides the real-time visibility that organizations need to monitor agent behavior and identify risky activity across cloud and development environments.

Enterprises are rapidly adopting AI agents, with estimates suggesting that nearly 65% of developers are already regularly “vibe coding” weekly. These AI agents help build applications and run detailed, data-rich processes that require access to sensitive data and elevated system permissions. They are also quickly becoming the default interface for both the technical and nontechnical alike – with varying levels of security expertise – to create, review, and ship solutions.

“AI agents are among the greatest innovations and security risks of our generation. Today, they help us write code faster, but tomorrow they’ll be running our most critical business operations as we dial up the pace of business,” said Loris Degioanni, Founder and CTO of Sysdig. “As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility. The elevated access and permissions that agentic AI requires demand that organizations adopt an ‘assume breach’ approach built on runtime visibility and real-time detections. Without it, the very innovations AI promises face undue exposure.”

Securing the Runtime Risks of Agentic AI

Security threats targeting AI ecosystems are escalating rapidly, with AI-related misconfigurations, exploits, and misuse becoming frequent news. AI coding agents are especially attractive targets because they often contain access to sensitive credentials, source code, and development environments. Research and observations from the Sysdig Threat Research Team (TRT) validate this growing risk, highlighting how these tools introduce a new and expanding attack surface that organizations must secure as they adopt AI-driven workflows.

Sysdig’s purpose-built runtime detections for AI coding agents deliver security that empowers innovation without compromise. They help organizations safely adopt agentic tools by identifying risky or suspicious behaviors, such as:

Sysdig designed these detections to monitor agent behavior in real time, identify credential exposure risks, reduce false positives, and investigate incidents involving AI agent activity. With these capabilities, security teams can protect their organizations from compromised or misbehaving AI tools while maintaining runtime security and compliance for AI-assisted development.
