Token Security Launches Intent-Based Security for AI Agents
Token Security has introduced a new security framework that governs AI agents' operations in enterprise environments by aligning their permissions with their intended purpose.
Tel Aviv – Token Security announced on March 18, 2026, the launch of its intent-based security for AI agents. This new approach focuses on governing AI agent permissions based on their intended purpose, aiming to accelerate AI adoption in enterprises by establishing identity as the control plane for autonomous systems.
As organizations increasingly deploy autonomous AI agents, traditional security models are facing challenges in managing associated risks. Token Security posits that identity controls offer a natural enforcement layer for governing agent access and actions, given their interaction with enterprise systems through service accounts, API credentials, and cloud roles.
"Prompt filtering and guardrails were not designed to fully contain the security risks introduced by autonomous AI agents," said Itamar Apelblat, Co-Founder and CEO of Token Security. "With our intent-based approach, the platform understands what AI agents are supposed to do and ensures they only have the permissions required to achieve their specified goals. As soon as their intent changes or they demonstrate risky behavior, our solution automatically intervenes to neutralize the threat."
The company's new model redefines access control by discovering agents, understanding their declared and observed intent, dynamically creating and enforcing least-privilege access policies, and flagging actions outside established intent boundaries. This methodology aims to enable the secure scaling and governance of autonomous systems.
Token Security was recently named an RSAC 2026 Innovation Sandbox Award Finalist and will demonstrate these capabilities at the RSA Conference. The intent-based AI agent security features are available immediately as part of the Token Security platform.
