Catch the divergence
before the damage adds up

Inside the firm, an AI agent looks legitimate because it is, right up until injected instructions quietly redirect it. A rolling baseline on every prompt, tool call and file touched is what surfaces that turn.

Most of the damage lands inside a window nobody is watching

The average shadow-AI breach takes 247 days to identify. Almost all of the harm accumulates inside that span, before anyone knows to look. IBM 2025 / iEnable

The old detection model was built for threats we had already seen.

Signatures and static baselines assumed the threat would resemble something from before. Inside a firm running 1,200 unofficial AI applications, the threat is now an authenticated process following injected instructions, and it looks exactly like normal work.

Indicators of compromise, or indicators of attack

Signature detection waits for a known pattern to appear, then reports it after the fact. A rolling per-agent baseline reads the behaviour itself, and catches the turn in flight.

Indicators of Compromise

  • Identified after the event has already happened
  • Signature-matched against known patterns
  • Blind to zero-day and novel attack paths
  • Treats authenticated-but-diverted activity as normal
  • Detection sits at the 181-day global average

Indicators of Attack

  • Behavioural patterns caught in flight, before completion
  • Per-agent rolling baselines, not static signatures
  • Catches slow reconnaissance, tool-count drift, novel access
  • Picks up zero-day patterns that have no prior fingerprint
  • Compresses mean-time-to-detect from 96 hours to 9.9

A blind 247-day window

Signature-era tooling only knows a breach happened once the indicators of compromise show up, on average 247 days later.

Every signal folds into one rolling baseline

Prompts, tool calls, file reads and API access are modelled together per agent. One fingerprint that every new interaction is measured against.

The same baseline the operator reads from

Risk vectors and automation-ready workflows surface from one feed: model usage, predictive risk, and the suggestions a compliance lead acts on.

Model usagePredictive riskAutomation candidates

Indicators of attack, in flight

Pattern 01low cumulative

Slow reconnaissance

An agent calls slightly more tools than its baseline over three days, then opens a config file it has never touched. Each step alone is benign. The sequence is not.

Pattern 02drift

Tool-count drift

MTWTFSS

A session opens 47 tool calls where the per-agent baseline sits at 12 ± 2. Every call resolves to an approved tool. The volume is the signal.

Pattern 03sudden

Novel endpoint access

A first-time hit on an API endpoint the agent has never used. The endpoint is approved at the firm level, but the access pattern is not, and it flags before completion.

Pattern 04off-baseline

Off-baseline file reads

Files outside the agent’s rolling read scope are touched in sequence. The semantic distance from the baseline is measurable, and ranks against thousands of past sessions.
