AI Runtime Protection
Real-time monitoring, alerting, and
blocking for every AI interaction.
One Policy Engine. Every AI Channel. Real-Time Enforcement.
AI growth in the form of copilots, web-based tools, custom agents, autonomous workflows, and more is breaking traditional security controls. The result: data leakage, prompt injection, insider threats, and compliance violations that put innovation at risk. AI Runtime Protection empowers security teams to monitor every prompt, block threats in real time, and enforce unified policies across every AI tool — without slowing the business down.
Spend less time on alerts. More time on real threats.
Define your data protection policies once and enforce them across DLP, browsers, copilots, and custom-built agents. AI-driven alert analysis enriches every event with data classification, identity, and business context to cut false positives by up to 95%.
Stop data leakage at the browser, before it’s too late
Employees paste sensitive data into public AI tools every day. AI Runtime Protection inspects every prompt in the browser in real time, attributes activity to specific users and accounts, and stops customer records, source code, health data, and trade secrets from leaking.
Secure every custom AI app and agent at runtime
Every prompt to your internal AI applications and autonomous agents is inspected in real time. Block prompt injection, enforce data policies, and maintain a full audit trail without slowing down innovation.

FAQs
Cyera AI Runtime Protection is the enforcement layer within AI Guardian that monitors and defends AI systems in real time. It combines three complementary capabilities: Omni DLP for data leakage prevention across all channels, Browser Shield for prompt-level security at the browser, and AI Firewall for API-level AI governance of custom AI applications. Together, they detect and block threats like prompt injection, data exfiltration, sensitive data leakage, and policy violations as they happen across public AI tools, embedded copilots, agentic AI workflows, and homegrown agents. AI Runtime Protection supports compliance with frameworks including the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and OWASP LLM Top 10.
AI Guardian is Cyera's unified AI security and AI governance solution. AI-SPM is the posture layer that discovers, inventories, and governs AI assets and their data access at rest, including copilot security for tools like Microsoft 365 Copilot, Salesforce AgentForce, and GitHub Copilot. AI Runtime Protection is the enforcement layer that monitors and blocks threats in motion across prompts, responses, and agentic AI actions. AI-SPM works in tandem with Cyera DSPM to provide visibility, while AI Runtime Protection extends Cyera Omni DLP to provide real-time data leakage prevention. Together, they deliver end-to-end AI security: from discovering shadow AI within 24–48 hours to blocking threats in real time.
Omni DLP is the AI brain for your existing DLP stack. It connects to DLP providers you already use (Zscaler, Netskope, Palo Alto, Microsoft Purview, Proofpoint, Google Workspace) via API, ingests their events and alerts, and uses AI to analyze, prioritize, and reduce false positives by up to 95%. It provides a unified 360-degree view of data in motion, identifies risky users and high-risk destinations, recommends policy improvements, and auto-tunes policies over time. For AI Runtime Protection specifically, Omni DLP monitors data flowing through AI tools like Copilot and ChatGPT, detects sensitive data exposure, and can deploy blocking policies directly to DLP providers.
Browser Shield is a browser extension that protects sensitive data when employees interact with public AI tools. It inspects prompts in real time using Cyera's DSPM classification, identity correlation, and enterprise data policies before information is submitted to external AI services. It discovers shadow AI usage (including 100+ public AI tools), distinguishes corporate vs. personal account access, detects source code submissions, PII/PHI leakage, and IP exposure, and alerts on or blocks prompts that violate enterprise policy. It deploys via existing MDM tooling (Intune, Jamf, Google Admin Console, GPO) with zero end-user friction. Supported browsers include Chrome, Edge, Opera, and Brave on Windows and macOS.
AI Firewall provides real-time AI governance for custom or homegrown AI applications, including internal chatbots, autonomous agents, and agentic AI workflows built on platforms like Amazon Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, or Snowflake Cortex AI. It integrates via a lightweight API call within your application code, inspecting prompts and returning allow or block decisions in milliseconds. Blocked prompts undergo detailed background analysis to identify the specific policy violation, producing a complete audit trail for compliance and investigation. Use AI Firewall when you need to protect AI applications you build and control, where browser-level or network-level DLP cannot reach.
Deployment is agentless and modular. Omni DLP connects to existing DLP providers via API in under 30 minutes, with AI-driven alert analysis active immediately. Browser Shield deploys through existing MDM infrastructure with zero end-user friction. AI Firewall requires a single API integration in your application code. Organizations typically gain initial visibility and protection within hours to days depending on scope. Because all three capabilities are built natively into the Cyera platform, customers already using DSPM or AI-SPM can activate AI Runtime Protection with minimal additional configuration.
AI Runtime Protection is designed for CISOs and security leaders who need consistent real-time enforcement and AI governance across all AI interactions; security operations teams investigating AI-related data incidents with full data context; DLP program owners looking to reduce alert noise and operationalize data leakage prevention at scale; IT administrators managing browser-based AI controls and copilot security policies; and engineering leaders protecting custom AI applications and agentic AI workflows from data leakage and prompt injection.
