Protegrity, a data security company, has released software designed to help organizations secure artificial intelligence agent systems as businesses grapple with data protection concerns in AI deployments.

The Protegrity AI Team Edition provides a Python package that integrates data security controls into AI development pipelines, from initial model development through deployment of autonomous agent workflows, the company said.

The product addresses a growing corporate dilemma: organizations want to use AI agents but face risks of exposing sensitive data to them, according to the company. Some firms have curtailed AI deployments due to concerns about data leakage to large language models.

"Corporate America is in its own AI circularity—wanting to use AI yet can't use it—due to the complexity of the tool chain and the need to protect critical business information," the company stated in its release.

The system applies data protection techniques, including encryption, tokenization, and anonymization, to sensitive information before it reaches AI models. The goal is to allow organizations to use proprietary data with AI agents while preventing information leakage.

Protegrity said the tool uses the same enterprise-grade technology that currently protects operations at a major financial institution processing over 10 trillion transactions annually.

The platform includes four main components:

• Governance for policy creation and maintenance
• Discovery capabilities to find sensitive and unstructured data
• Protection functions that redact or encrypt sensitive information with referential integrity
• Privacy features, including anonymization and consent-based access

The system also provides audit trails and compliance reporting through contextual classifiers and pattern matching tools.

The software supports both cloud-native architectures and container-based microservices deployments. The company indicated that it is developing additional capabilities to support broader AI adoption scenarios.

Protegrity specializes in data-centric security solutions. The company did not disclose pricing or customer adoption figures for the new product.
