Runtime security for AI coding agents: Protecting AI-assisted development

Sysdig describes new runtime detections for AI coding agents, warning that autonomous agents can execute commands, access credentials, and modify code—creating a new attack surface. The post explains how detections identify agent installations and monitor behaviors (sensitive file access, risky CLI arguments, unauthorized processes), and how these rules integrate with Sysdig's AI workload security to provide real-time visibility and alerts for suspicious agent activity.
