About Salt Security
Salt Security provides an agentic security platform that protects AI agents, MCP servers, and APIs. It sells to global enterprises and security teams. The platform maps every agent, MCP server, and API in an environment to show what agents are doing and stop them when they overstep. It covers the full agentic lifecycle from deployment to runtime actions. The platform has three main capabilities. Agentic Security Posture Management discovers agents, MCP servers, and models, and governs what they can do. AI Detection and Response inspects model usage to catch prompt injection, context poisoning, and data leaks. Agentic Detection and Response establishes baselines and correlates traffic to a unique agentic identity to detect and block malicious intent at machine speed. Salt also offers API security software that discovers APIs, assesses risk, and protects against attacks like BOLA and logic abuse.
