Salt Security
Agentic and API security platform with native AI detection and response for LLM threats.
About
Salt Security is an API and agentic AI security platform based in Palo Alto. In September 2026 it launched native AI Detection and Response within its Agentic Security Platform, providing real-time LLM runtime protection against prompt injection, jailbreak attempts, and unsafe model behavior across models, agents, MCP servers, tools, and downstream APIs.
Its Agentic Security Graph maps activity from the initial prompt through every MCP server and API an agent touches, while Agentic Security Posture Management surfaces coverage gaps against existing AI guardrails. Salt also ships a managed rule group for AWS WAF covering AI agent and API threat detection. The company positions itself as the leader in agentic and API security.
