Security Built for the Stack
That Runs Your Business

From LLM inference to API endpoints to web application logic — one runtime sensor, patent-pending enforcement, unified security intelligence.

01 // LLM SECURITY · AI GATEWAY

Runtime AI & Agentic Security

AI agents operate at the process layer — making decisions, invoking tools, accessing data. ziriz.ai instruments every agent workload at runtime, correlating LLM decisions with real process behavior to stop agentic attacks before they execute.

  • Detect prompt injection before it reaches an API or MCP endpoint
  • Trace every LLM tool call to its process identity and origin workload
  • Behavioral baselines per agent — anomaly detection in real time
  • Block unauthorized data access before the process executes
  • AI gateway enforcement: rate limiting, auth, and policy per agent identity
🔒 Patent-pending agentic runtime instrumentation technology
02 // MCP SERVER SECURITY

Instrument MCP Servers From Inside

Discovery tells you what MCP servers exist. Runtime instrumentation tells you what they're doing. ziriz.ai instruments every MCP server at the process level — seeing every tool invocation, blocking violations inline before the tool executes.

  • Runtime MCP server inventory — live, not discovery from traffic patterns
  • Tool-level access control per agent identity
  • Sensitive data detection in MCP responses before transmission
  • Detect MCP abuse, over-permissioning, and tool misuse in real time
  • A2A protocol security — agent-to-agent communication governance
🔒 Patent-pending MCP runtime enforcement engine
03 // API SECURITY PLATFORM

OWASP API Top 10 — Runtime Enforced

BOLA, BFLA, mass assignment, broken auth, shadow APIs — detected and blocked at the runtime layer. The only API security platform with visibility inside encrypted east-west microservice traffic without certificate injection.

  • Automatic shadow and zombie API discovery via runtime process monitoring
  • BOLA/BFLA detection with authoritative object-level access correlation
  • Real-time OpenAPI spec drift detection and undocumented endpoint alerting
  • Sub-millisecond inline blocking — no external WAF delegation
🔒 Patent-pending API runtime enforcement sensor
04 // NEXT-GEN WAF · BOT · DDOS · WAAP

Cloud Web Application & API Protection

OWASP Top 10 web protection, advanced bot detection, and L7 DDoS mitigation — correlated with workload context for near-zero false positives. WAAP that understands what your applications actually do.

  • OWASP Top 10: SQLi, XSS, CSRF, SSRF, RCE, path traversal
  • Advanced bot detection — behavioral fingerprinting, not just IP blocklists
  • L7 DDoS mitigation inline — before TCP handshake completes
  • Virtual patching — zero-day protection deployed in minutes
🔒 Patent-pending inline WAAP enforcement architecture
05 // PLATFORM INTELLIGENCE

Unified Runtime Security Intelligence Graph

Every event — API call, MCP invocation, bot request, DDoS packet, agentic tool call — flows into one correlated runtime graph, reconstructed into unified incident timelines across all four attack surfaces.

Runtime Identity Graph

Every event attributed to a workload identity — pod, service account, deployment, namespace. Not just an IP address.

Unified Incident Timeline

Attack chains spanning web → API → MCP → LLM reconstructed into a single narrative. No pivoting between tools.

Policy-as-Code

Security policies in Rego or YAML — enforced at the runtime layer with sub-millisecond overhead across the full stack.

OWASP + MITRE Coverage

Full OWASP API Top 10, OWASP Web Top 10, MITRE ATT&CK for Cloud mapped to every detected event in real time.

Near-Zero Overhead

Runtime sensor <2% CPU per node. No sidecar per pod, no proxy. One deployment covers the entire node.

Universal Deployment

Kubernetes, VMs, bare metal, hybrid. Portable across kernel versions — no recompilation required.

The conversation around MCP Security has finally arrived in enterprise security circles — and the stakes are higher than most CISOs realize. When an AI agent can invoke any MCP tool with its service account credentials, you don't just have an API security problem. You have an agentic insider threat operating at machine speed, inside your perimeter, using legitimate credentials. This is what ziriz.ai was built to solve. Runtime. Not discovery. Not traffic mirrors. #MCPSecurity #AgenticAI #LLMSecurity #APISecurity

Hot take: BOLA is still the most underdefended vulnerability in enterprise API stacks in 2025. Traffic mirrors can't detect it. API gateways can't detect it. WAFs definitely can't detect it. And AI agents are about to make BOLA attacks 100× more frequent because agents make thousands of API calls per session at machine speed. If you're not doing runtime correlation of user identity against object ownership at the API layer, you are exposed. End of debate. #BOLA #APISecurity #OWASPAPITop10

The question every CISO needs to ask their security team in 2026: "What happens when our AI agent is prompt-injected and uses its legitimate API credentials to exfiltrate data?" If the answer isn't "our runtime security layer detects and blocks the tool invocation before it completes" — you have a gap. This is the agentic threat model that every enterprise security stack needs to account for now, not when it happens. #PromptInjection #AgenticSecurity #CISO #CyberSecurity #LLMSecurity

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

What is API security and why does it matter in 2026?

API security protects the interfaces through which applications communicate. In 2026, APIs carry over 83% of all internet traffic — and AI agents now generate the majority of API calls. API security must cover not just traditional OWASP API Top 10 threats, but also AI agentic attacks, MCP server abuse, and prompt injection chains that operate at machine speed.

What is AI agentic security?

AI agentic security protects autonomous AI agents that make API calls, invoke MCP tools, and execute multi-step actions without human intervention. Traditional WAFs and API gateways cannot attribute agent actions to their source LLM decision or detect prompt injection in an agent's context — agentic security requires runtime instrumentation at the process layer.

What is MCP security and why is it critical?

MCP (Model Context Protocol) is the standard by which AI agents invoke enterprise tools and data sources. MCP servers expose functions — database queries, email sends, code execution — to AI agents. Without runtime enforcement, any AI agent with access to an over-permissioned MCP server can exfiltrate data or execute unauthorized actions with its legitimate credentials.

How does ziriz.ai detect BOLA without false positives?

ziriz.ai instruments the application's runtime at the process layer — observing both the authenticated identity (from JWT claims) and the object being accessed (from the database query) in the same execution context. This authoritative correlation eliminates false positives: ziriz.ai only fires when it observes an actual authorization mismatch, not when it sees a URL pattern that looks suspicious.

Does ziriz.ai require agents, sidecars, or traffic mirrors?

No. ziriz.ai deploys a single DaemonSet per Kubernetes node (or single binary for VM/bare-metal deployments). It instruments workloads at the runtime layer without per-pod sidecars, without traffic mirrors, and without certificate injection for TLS visibility. One deployment covers every workload on that node instantly.

How does ziriz.ai compare to Salt Security or Traceable?

Salt Security and Traceable use traffic mirroring and cloud-scale data lake analysis — they observe API traffic from the network perimeter and fire alerts after analysis. ziriz.ai instruments workloads at the runtime layer — seeing inside encrypted traffic, attributing calls to workload identities, and enforcing inline before actions complete. The architectures are fundamentally different in what they can see and how fast they can enforce.
