KnowBe4 Agent Risk Manager arrives as a cornerstone of the KnowBe4 HRM+ platform, fundamentally changing how organizations quantify and mitigate risks of the human and AI workforce.<\/p>\n<p>A new security gap has emerged as workflows shift from AI assisted to agent managed. While others focus on static code scanning or basic API security, KnowBe4\u2019s Agent Risk Manager addresses the risks associated with agentic behavior, preventing unauthorized actions such as sharing sensitive information, identifying indirect prompt injections, inventorying agents and more.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The industry has spent years securing the human element, but today, AI agents are the newest members of our workforce,&#8221; said Greg Kras, chief product officer, KnowBe4. &#8220;However, securing the prompt is only half the battle. Our Agent Risk Manager focuses on the output and actions of these agents, ensuring that as they move through your network, they do not become the ultimate shadow IT or a backdoor for sophisticated prompt injection attacks.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>KnowBe4\u2019s Agent Risk Manager provides a real-time operational layer that governs how agents behave once they are deployed.<\/p>\n<p>Key features of the Agent Risk Manager include:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>Behavioral Guardrails<\/b>: Real-time monitoring of agent actions to prevent unauthorized data exfiltration or jailbroken autonomous execution.<\/li>\n<li><b>Agentic Identity Governance<\/b>: Identifies access permissions and tools that the agent has access to.<\/li>\n<li><b>Adversarial Simulation for Agents<\/b>: Stress-tests AI agents against the latest prompt injection and social engineering tactics used by hackers.<\/li>\n<li><b>Built from Industry-Leading Data<\/b>: Uses 15 years of behavior data to predict when an agent deviates from safe operating parameters.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;We are moving from a world of human risk to universal risk,&#8221; continued Kras. &#8220;Whether it is a human being tricked by a deepfake or an AI agent being manipulated by a malicious prompt, KnowBe4 is the only platform capable of defending both.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Capabilities of Agent Risk Manager includes:<\/p>\n<ul class=\"bwlistdisc\">\n<li><b>Prompt Injection Detection:<\/b>\u00a0Machine learning-powered analysis that identifies jailbreaks, logic overrides, and indirect injections across user messages and tool outputs.<\/li>\n<li><b>Sensitive Information Detection:<\/b>\u00a0Uses 20+ classifiers to scan for PII and credentials, automatically redacting sensitive data before it reaches the audit log.<\/li>\n<li><b>Unbounded Consumption Detection:<\/b>\u00a0Monitors for resource abuse and &#8220;runaway&#8221; agents to prevent excessive API calls, data queries, and compute costs.<\/li>\n<li><b>Agent Inventory:<\/b>\u00a0Automatically catalogues agents and tools across tenants without manual input, tracking tool definitions and activity timestamps.<\/li>\n<li><b>Audit Log:<\/b>\u00a0A filterable, compliance-ready record of all agent actions and detections, designed for rapid incident response and forensic review.<\/li>\n<li><b>Integration Management:<\/b>\u00a0Centralized lifecycle management for multiple tenants with automatic connectivity and permissions validation.<\/li>\n<li><b>Guided Onboarding:<\/b>\u00a0A streamlined, step-by-step setup that achieves first-agent discovery in minutes without the need for professional services.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A\u00a0review\u00a0left by a KnowBe4 customer on TrustRadius praises the company\u2019s overall AI capabilities: \u201cThe AI-driven personalization has helped target our account holders with specific information relevant to their areas of interest or specialization. This helps reduce fatigue as we rely on the AI system. KnowBe4 AI helps us solve this problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The launch of the Agent Risk Manager aligns with\u00a0Identity Management Day.
