Why we built Wingback

Every security team we talk to is running into the same thing. The actors on their network are no longer just people and services. A lot of them are now agents: coding assistants on engineer laptops, copilots wired into SaaS, autonomous workflows running inside the company’s own products.

The tooling hasn’t caught up. Endpoint security watches processes, but not prompts. Cloud posture tools inventory your buckets, but they don’t recognize a Bedrock agent when they see one. AppSec scans code, but not the tool calls that code makes at runtime. Everyone sees a slice. Nobody sees the agent.

Three places, one problem

In most enterprises, AI now lives in three places:

An attack rarely stays in one place. A poisoned document in SaaS turns into a tool call on a laptop, which turns into an exfiltration through your gateway. If your visibility stops at a layer boundary, that boundary is exactly where an attacker goes.

We built Wingback to watch all three from one place, and to act while an attack is still running. It catches the drift, blocks the tool call, kills the session, and keeps the evidence for later.

Why “Wingback”

In football, a wingback is the defender who runs. They cover the whole flank and keep pace with the attack instead of waiting for it to arrive. That is the posture AI security needs right now. Agents move fast and change every week, so a control that only reviews things after the fact is really just a spectator.

Security that runs with your agents. That is the product, and it is the name.

Where we are

We work forward-deployed with a small group of early design partners. Our engineers embed with your team, wire Wingback into your exact stack, and tune the detections to your environment. If you are wrestling with agents you cannot see, we’d like to talk. If you would rather read first, start with the one-pager.
