Why It Matters
Data security posture tools are being pushed to cover both traditional data stores and the data that AI agents and LLM pipelines touch. Large funding rounds suggest buyers expect this category to grow. Security teams evaluating these products should ask vendors how their agents are permissioned, audited, and prevented from becoming a new path to sensitive data.
