# Four core pillars to secure every agentic device

## The strategic blueprint for agentic endpoint security.

* [EXPLORE CORTEX AES](#form-submit-button)  
  Traditional EDR tools are blind to the agentic frontier. Nonbinary tools like AI extensions and MCP servers operate inside host apps, flying right under the legacy EDR's radar. The use of autonomous AI agents has also exponentially expanded the scale and complexity of unmanaged risks across the endpoint.

Cortex^®^ Agentic Endpoint Security (AES) is the AI-native control plane built to restore visibility and manage agentic behavior enterprise-wide. By pairing continuous monitoring with real-time risk intelligence, AES stops supply chain threats at the source without slowing employee velocity.

Explore the four core pillars to secure the agentic endpoint:

* **AI-native total visibility:** Map attack surfaces across shadow tools, models and extensions.

* \*\*Context-aware risk:\*\*Assess intent in real time to accelerate protection and cut false alarms.

* **Proactive governance and control:** Enforce least-privilege rules inside agent reasoning loops.

* **Real-time prevention:** Block supply chain threats and poisoned updates before device entry.

Protecting your enterprise requires moving defenses directly to where innovation happens. Download our guide today.
