Operant AI
Runtime AI security platform — Agent Protector, AI Gatekeeper, MCP Gateway, and 3D Runtime Defense for live cloud and AI workloads. Featured in all four Gartner 2025 AI security guides.
What it does
Runtime security platform for AI applications and agents, cloud-native APIs, and Kubernetes workloads. Products include Agent Protector (purpose-built security for agentic AI), AI Gatekeeper (real-time security for AI applications), MCP Gateway (monitor and protect MCP across endpoints and cloud), 3D Runtime Defense (API and cloud protection), and Woodpecker (open-source AI red teaming). The only vendor featured in all four of Gartner's 2025 AI security market guides: AI TRiSM, API Protection, MCP Gateways, and Securing Custom-Built AI Agents. Series A funded.
Security relevance
Provides runtime interception and enforcement for AI agent actions, API calls, and cloud workloads. The Agent ScopeGuard product specifically prevents rogue agents from causing real-world damage by detecting and blocking unauthorised actions. MCP Gateway provides real-time transparency and protection across the entire MCP ecosystem. The Woodpecker open-source tool enables red teaming of AI applications.
When to use it
Use when deploying AI agents or LLM applications in production Kubernetes environments that need runtime security across the full stack — from model inference to API calls to MCP tool invocations. Strongest for organisations that want a single platform covering AI security, API protection, and cloud runtime defense. Enterprise platform with Series A backing.
OWASP coverage
Risks addressed — mapped to both OWASP Top 10 standards. 4 in LLM, 7 in Agentic.
