A New Dimension in AI Agent cybersecurity Defense: From the Proliferation of Shadow AI to Endpoint Behavior Visibility

This whitepaper describes how autonomous enterprise AI Agents (e.g., Codex, Claude, Cline) create new endpoint risks — credential exposure, prompt‑injection and data exfiltration, privilege escalation with lateral movement, and potential supply‑chain backdoors or RCE — highlights limitations of traditional process‑level monitoring to detect such behavior, and proposes ThreatSonar Plus for command‑level visibility and targeted defenses.
