## Overview
Knostic is an AI security platform designed to discover, monitor, and secure AI agents, coding assistants, and their associated supply chain risks. The platform addresses the challenge of AI oversharing in enterprise environments, where large language models may inadvertently expose sensitive information like sales data, M&A information, or confidential company details to users with inappropriate access levels. Knostic secures the entire agentic lifecycle, including MCP servers, IDE extensions, skills, and rules, while detecting shadow AI deployment and blocking data exfiltration attempts.

The platform serves security leaders, CISOs, and enterprise IT teams who need visibility and control over AI-powered coding tools and autonomous agents within their organizations. Knostic distinguishes itself by providing need-to-know access controls for generative AI, preventing unauthorized information sharing while maintaining workflow efficiency. One limitation is that it specifically focuses on enterprise-scale AI security rather than consumer-facing AI tools.
