AI tools are quickly becoming part of everyday work, but visibility and control have not always kept pace. KHIPU Networks is introducing Agentic Endpoint Security to help organisations understand which AI tools and agents are being used, what they can access and how to manage the risks without getting in the way of legitimate work. As organisations push forward with AI deployment, the conversation amongst tech-leaders has shifted past the initial wave of adoption to a far more critical phase: how to maintain visibility, governance, and control without disrupting business operations. 

For KHIPU, a leading cybersecurity and managed security services provider (MSSP), addressing these concerns is built on a foundation of long-standing operational practice. Long before AI became an industry disruptor, KHIPU has integrated artificial intelligence directly into its 24×7 Security Operations Centre (SOC) and Network Operations Centre (NOC), treating AI as an established, core capability. 

Addressing the Realities of AI Adoption through Customer Feedback.

Through close collaboration with customers across the UK and South Africa, KHIPU’s teams have worked to understand what organisations are trying to achieve with AI and what risks they perceive both now and into the future. 

Customer conversations consistently highlight several key challenges regarding AI integration: 

• Gaining clear visibility into which AI tools are actually being utilised across the enterprise. 

• Understanding precisely how those tools are being deployed and used by employees, what data are they accessing. 

• Determining whether AI implementation could compromise the security of their existing environment. 

• Maintaining governance and control without stalling user productivity or daily business operations. 

• Creating quick and efficient on-boarding processes for AI tools that ensure maximum security without compromising the user experience.  

Real-World Perspectives on AI Security. 

Reflecting these insights and the delicate balance between innovation and cyber threat protection, Chris Loveday, KHIPU customer and Interim Chief Operating Officer at the City of Portsmouth College, commented: 

“As an educational institution, we rely on fostering a culture of innovation, experimentation, and digital adoption for both our students and staff. However, with the rapid integration of AI tools and coding agents, our priority must be ensuring that we have absolute visibility and governance without stifling productivity. New and emerging technologies such as Agentic Endpoint Security give us the vital assurance that our network and data remain secure against emerging AI-driven risks, allowing us to embrace digital transformation with total confidence.” 

Agentic Endpoint Security.

As organisations increasingly leverage autonomous AI coding agents and tools (such as Claude Code and OpenClaw) to drive productivity, a new attack surface has emerged at the endpoint. The proliferation of AI agents that operate with high-level access to sensitive data and critical infrastructure presents a unique challenge: these agents can inadvertently become the ultimate insider threat if left unmanaged. 

Speaking on the growth of AI-driven threats and emerging agentic endpoint security (AES) solutions, Matt Ashman, Chief Commercial Officer at KHIPU Networks said: 

“This is a fundamental shift in the security landscape. As an organisation that prides itself on deep technical expertise and the delivery of round-the-clock threat monitoring, we recognise that the traditional perimeter is no longer the sole frontier.”  

He continued: 

“After reviewing multiple AI security technologies across the cybersecurity market, we have identified a solution that integrates seamlessly into customer environments, offering effortless deployment, simplified administration, and exceptional control. Having proven highly effective in managing our own endpoint AI estate, we believe this is by far the best technology we have tested and that it is ideally suited to protect our customers.” 

By combining years of in-house SOC AI expertise with cutting-edge Agentic Endpoint Security, KHIPU ensures that public and private sector organisations in the UK and South Africa do not have to choose between the productivity of AI innovation and the necessity of robust, comprehensive security.
