Every model, prompt, agent and MCP server your teams adopt is a new way in. Understand the AI attack surface, assess where you stand, and build AI systems you can put in front of real users. Start with the pillars below — and a self-assessment you can run today.
The challenge
AI adoption is bottom-up and fast. The risk isn’t one big system — it’s the long tail of tools, prompts and agents that never went through review.
Teams adopt AI tools and browser extensions faster than security can review them, so sensitive work flows through apps no one has vetted.
Proprietary code, customer records and strategy end up pasted into third-party models — often with no record of what left the building.
Agents and MCP servers are frequently granted far broader access than the task needs, turning one compromised tool into many exposed systems.
The landscape
Securing AI end to end — from build time to runtime — spans eight areas. Use them as a checklist for your own programme; each is a place a gap can turn into a breach.
Know every model, agent, MCP server and AI-enabled SaaS in use — with an owner and a purpose for each.
Surface the unsanctioned tools and extensions employees adopt on their own, before data leaves through them.
Keep proprietary and personal data out of third-party models; inspect and control what gets sent, and to whom.
Defend against prompt injection and jailbreaks, and stop unsafe or hallucinated output from driving real actions.
Treat tools as a trust boundary: verify tool definitions, scope permissions, and gate high-risk agent actions.
Give agents first-class, scoped identities and continuously right-size their access to the minimum they need.
Watch live behaviour, alert on anomalies, and constrain or block actions that break policy in the moment.
Set policy, keep an audit trail, and align to evolving AI regulation and standards so you can prove control.
How we help
LyboAI focuses on the parts of AI security you own before anything reaches production: assessing your posture, upskilling your people, and building AI and MCP systems securely. For live runtime controls, we help you scope requirements and choose the right platform.
Scope a weighted self-assessment to what you're building and get a graded posture with a worst-first fix list.
