Forrester published research mapping its AEGIS security guardrails for AI agents to the product categories, capabilities and vendors that can enforce them, covering 23 technology domains such as runtime monitoring, data loss prevention and access management for AI. The stated aim is to have security teams start from a missing control rather than from a product category, and to check existing tools before buying. The detailed report is behind a client subscription.
