Backslash at Black Hat 2026
August 4-6, 2026 · Mandalay Bay Convention Center, Las Vegas

Shed light on your
Agentic AI Fabric

Backslash is the Agentic AI Endpoint Security platform - visibility, governance, and real-time protection for the AI agents, MCPs, and tools your employees run in the local layer your EDR and AI gateways can't see.

Lights off.
You can't govern what you can't see.

Lights are ON now.
Now that you see everything, you can govern and protect.

The Agentic AI Fabric on the Endpoint.
  • Agent (core)
  • Models & Agents
  • Context & Knowledge
  • Connectivity & Tools
  • Artifacts / plugins
OFF ON

The agentic fabric is already there.

But before you can govern or protect it, you have to see it - and most of it runs in a local layer your EDR and AI gateways can't.

The agentic fabric is now discovered.

This is one endpoint. Now multiply it across every employee.

At our Black Hat suite, we open the fabric live - every connection, every risk, every control - so you know exactly what to look for on yours.

THE ATTACK SURFACE NO TOOL IS WATCHING

See. Govern. Protect.

01 - SEE

Every agent, MCP, and hook - including the shadow AI no one approved.

A live inventory of the agentic AI running on your endpoints: the coding agents, the LLMs they call, the MCP servers they trust, the skills and hooks they load, and the permissions they hold.

  • Cursor, Claude Code, Copilot & Windsurf coverage
  • Full MCP inventory across every employee endpoint
  • Shadow AI surfaced where gateways and EDR can't see it
47,000+public MCP servers exist in the wild. Your agentic AI grows fastest in the dark.

02 - GOVERN

Set the guardrails - governed trust, not blind trust.

Risk-score every agent, MCP, and configuration. Enforce an approved-only allow-list, harden risky configurations, and catch permission or config drift the moment it happens - from one console for security and AI-governance teams.

  • MCP vetting before installation, risk-scored
  • Approved-only allow-list, enforced by default
  • Permission & configuration drift detection
93%of an AI agent's permission requests are auto-approved. It rarely asks twice.

03 - PROTECT

Stop the hand before it acts.

Real-time detection and intent-aware control at the tool boundary, where the agent acts - catching prompt injection, exfiltration, and off-task behavior on the endpoint EDR can't watch.

  • Direct & indirect prompt injection coverage
  • Source & secrets exfiltration blocked at the tool call
  • Off-task drift detection with forensic tracing
9 secis all it took for a coding agent to wipe a production database - and its backups.
