ZTAC Control Arms Security Teams with AI

ORLANDO, Fla., Oct. 20, 2026 /CourierPR/ -- Organizations can now embrace agentic AI without giving up control of their environments, thanks to the launch of Zero Trust AI Control (ZTAIC) by ThreatLocker, a global cybersecurity provider. The new tool enables security teams to deploy agentic AI agents without relinquishing control over their environments, a significant advancement in the field of cybersecurity.

ThreatLocker, a global cybersecurity leader that prevents breaches from both known and unknown threats, has introduced ZTAIC to address the security challenges posed by AI agents. These agents are no longer merely providing information; they are now being used to take actions across an organization's environment, which has fundamentally changed the security landscape.

The release emphasizes that organizations around the world need a way to adopt AI with the peace of mind that they aren't handing over the keys to their environments. ZTAIC, ThreatLocker's new solution, provides a way for security teams to give AI agents exactly what they need to perform their jobs while keeping everything else out of reach. This is achieved by independently governing what agents are allowed to do, ensuring that security boundaries remain in place even if an agent behaves unexpectedly.

The release states that AI guardrails are designed to define how an agent should behave, but AI continues to find ways around self-enforcement of those rules. ZTAIC solves this challenge by applying controls outside AI deployments, keeping security boundaries in place even if an agent behaves unexpectedly. This approach allows organizations to embrace AI on their terms, with Zero Trust controls that keep them in command every step of the way.

ZTAIC takes much of the work out of securing AI by providing recommended policies ready to put into action. Security teams can start with pre-built guardrails, tailor them to their environment, and quickly establish strong boundaries around how AI agents operate. In today's deployments, a single request to an AI agent can trigger actions across applications, scripts, browsers, and other services. ZTAIC keeps security boundaries in place throughout that workflow, controlling what agents can access, execute, and connect to without allowing them to bypass existing protections.

ThreatLocker's ZTAIC, together with its Allowlisting and Web Content Control, gives security teams control across the AI lifecycle, from which AI applications and browser-based services are allowed in the environment to what authorized AI agents can access and do once they are running. Organizations can embrace AI on their terms with Zero Trust controls that keep them in command every step of the way.

ThreatLocker, headquartered in Orlando, Florida, with offices in Dublin, Reading, Dubai, and Brisbane, protects over 70,000 organizations worldwide. The company's Zero Trust Platform prevents breaches from both known and unknown threats by allowing only explicitly trusted software and activity across endpoints, networks, and cloud systems. Built to deploy quickly and scale across complex environments, the platform reduces operational overhead while keeping business running uninterrupted.

ThreatLocker's ZTAIC is a significant step forward in the realm of cybersecurity, providing organizations with the tools they need to embrace AI without relinquishing control of their environments. The solution's ability to independently govern what agents are allowed to do, keeping security boundaries in place even if an agent behaves unexpectedly, is a game-changer in the field. With ZTAIC, organizations can now embrace AI with the peace of mind that they aren't handing over the keys to their environments.
