Brex built its AI agent policy by watching what agents actually do, not by writing rules first
Brex addressed a critical challenge in agent security by observing actual agent behavior rather than relying on predefined rules. Recognizing that traditional guardrails struggle to contain agents wielding real-world credentials like API keys, they developed CrabTrap, an open-source HTTP/HTTPS proxy. This innovative platform uses an LLM-as-a-judge to evaluate network requests, learning from real-time agent activity to enforce policies. This approach, detailed further in "The agent security gap," represents a shift towards centralized network control and empowers organizations to confidently deploy AI agents.
The agent security gap: 54% of enterprises have already had an AI agent incident, and most still let agents share credentials
More than half of enterprises (54%) have already experienced an AI agent security incident or near-miss, highlighting a critical gap between agent autonomy and effective controls. Across 107 organizations, agents are gaining access to sensitive systems while security measures lag, with only a third providing each agent a unique, scoped identity. This VentureBeat Pulse Research reveals that the security stack predominantly relies on borrowed solutions from model providers, leaving a significant vulnerability as AI-enabled attacks evolve.
Zero trust must now move at agent speed
The rapid adoption of AI agents demands an immediate shift in security strategy: zero trust architecture must now operate at agent speed. As Andre Durand, CEO of Ping Identity, explains, the compressed risk timeline necessitates continuous verification of every action, moving beyond traditional login checks. Enterprises must equip agents with individual identities, enforce policies deterministically, and establish frameworks for reviewing AI-generated output—lest they risk accumulating exposure through thousands of rapid requests.
