AI tools are now being used across sanctioned applications, employee workflows, internal systems, and autonomous agents. That creates a visibility problem. Security leaders need to know where AI is running, what data it can access, what actions agents can take, and whether those systems are operating within approved boundaries. F5 says the platform includes AI governance, AI discovery, AI security testing, runtime protection, and observability. SurePath AI strengthens the discovery side by helping organizations detect AI usage across the network, including unsanctioned tools and agent activity, without requiring direct integrations into every application. That visibility can then feed into testing and guardrails to help reduce risks such as prompt injection, data leakage, and excessive agent autonomy. AI security is becoming an operational control problem for enterprises. AI agents can...
