Akto uses Agentic AI Discovery to run continuous detection across the full enterprise environment - not just a scan you run once and forget.

Discovery spans:

  • Employee laptops and endpoints

  • Cloud environments

  • Hybrid and on-premises infrastructure

  • SaaS applications

  • Internal AI deployments

  • Development and staging environments

The platform automatically catalogs what it finds and maps the relationships between agents, tools, MCP servers, APIs, and resources. That means you're not just getting a list of things - you're seeing how they connect and what risk each connection represents.

For large enterprises, the persistent challenge isn't one rogue agent. It's that AI sprawl happens gradually, across hundreds of teams and systems, until you have a sprawling inventory of unknown AI activity that nobody has visibility over. Continuous discovery is how you close that gap before it becomes a compliance or breach problem.
