Map AEGIS Controls to Agentic AI Security Tech

Security technology research usually starts with a product category. Buyers read a definition, review a market, compare vendors, and then try to connect the category back to a real control gap. Our Navigate research allows teams to reverse that sequence.

This report gives you a practical decision path through its methodology. Assume an organization identifies gaps in AEGIS controls covering runtime monitoring, unsafe agent behavior, prompt injection, data exfiltration, or high-risk tool actions. These use cases are satisfied by AI runtime security.

AI runtime security monitors AI applications and agents while they execute. It collects model and tool-call telemetry, detects activity such as prompt injection, jailbreaks, data exfiltration, and anomalous actions, then applies policies to block, contain, redact, limit, or escalate the activity. It may run at an AI gateway, API proxy, application runtime, agent framework plug-in, sidecar, or another inline enforcement point.

The report shows where AI runtime security overlaps with technologies such as AI Detection and Response, AI DLP, and AI security posture management. That gives security leaders an opportunity to inspect their existing security tools before opening a new procurement cycle. Control mapping helps security leaders understand those boundaries before they commit budget.

From Guardrails to Investment Decisions

Forrester's AEGIS framework gives security leaders a way to define those guardrails across agent behavior, delegated authority, data exposure, tool use, model dependencies, and incident response. The next job is converting those guardrails into architecture and investment decisions. That means linking each control to the technologies that can enforce, monitor, govern, or validate it.

Start with the control gap. Trace it to the relevant technology categories. Check where existing tools already cover the requirement. Then decide whether to configure, combine, buy, replace, or wait.
