Dux Security
Dux Security is an Israeli-founded startup focused on securing AI agents and automated AI workflows against misuse, prompt attacks, and unsafe action chains.
Visit WebsiteCompany Overview
Dux Security targets the emerging attack surface created by enterprise AI agents that can call tools, execute actions, and interact with sensitive systems. The company’s approach emphasizes runtime guardrails, policy enforcement, and continuous risk monitoring for agentic workflows.
As organizations adopt AI agents for operations and productivity, security controls must evolve beyond model-level checks to include authorization, action safety, and context-aware governance. This creates a new security layer spanning AI application security, identity, and workflow orchestration.
Dual-use relevance is meaningful because public-sector and defense-adjacent organizations are also exploring AI-assisted and agentic automation. Guardrails that prevent unsafe autonomous behavior can reduce operational risk in sensitive environments where incorrect actions have outsized consequences.
Dual-Use Assessment
AI agent runtime security is dual-use capability for enterprise automation and defense-adjacent mission-support workflows.
Key Technologies
- Runtime security controls for AI agents and tool use
- Policy guardrails for autonomous action chains
- Prompt and context abuse detection for agentic systems
- Identity-aware authorization for AI-initiated operations
- Auditability and governance telemetry for AI actions
Use Cases & Applications
- Securing enterprise AI agents integrated with internal tools and data
- Preventing unsafe or unauthorized agent actions in production workflows
- AI governance enforcement for regulated operational environments
- Reducing data leakage and action abuse in agentic automations
- Hardening defense-adjacent AI orchestration systems with runtime controls
Strategic Value to U.S.-Israel Alliance
Improves trusted AI adoption in allied ecosystems by adding safety controls to autonomous workflow execution.
