Threat Hunting

The threat landscape is evolving. Certiv hunts threats so you don’t have to.

AI agents introduce an entirely new attack surface. Traditional security tools weren’t built for reasoning chains, tool calls, and autonomous decision-making.

Certiv combines automated threat hunting, collective intelligence, and an expert red team to find and neutralize threats before they cause damage.

Collective Intelligence

Learn once, protect everywhere

Certiv’s shared intelligence layer accumulates threat findings across every customer environment. A vulnerability discovered anywhere becomes a defense deployed everywhere.

Fleet-Wide Learning Pattern Library Automated Updates Cross-Customer Insights

Always-On Detection

Continuous, automated threat hunting

Proactive scanning for prompt injection, tool misuse, data staging, and privilege escalation. Not a one-time audit. Always on, always hunting.

Pattern Matching

Signature-based detection across thousands of known prompt injection, tool misuse, and data exfiltration techniques.

Behavioral Anomaly Detection

ML-driven baselines detect deviations in agent behavior: unusual tool sequences, unexpected data access, or scope drift.

Proactive Hunt Missions

Targeted investigations triggered by emerging threat intel, new CVEs, or customer-specific risk indicators.

Known Attack Vectors

The threats Certiv hunts every day

critical

Prompt Injection

Attackers embed hidden instructions in data sources, tricking agents into executing unauthorized actions or leaking sensitive context.

elevated

Tool Misuse & Abuse

Agents manipulated into calling tools in unintended ways: wrong parameters, excessive scope, or chained calls that bypass controls.

critical

Data Exfiltration

Agents coerced into staging, encoding, or transmitting sensitive data through tool calls, API responses, or side channels.

elevated

Privilege Escalation

Exploiting agent permissions to access resources, systems, or data beyond the intended scope of the original task.

warning

Unauthorized Actions

Agents performing actions that violate organizational policy: sending emails, modifying records, or triggering workflows without approval.

warning

Supply Chain Risks

Compromised plugins, MCP servers, or third-party tools introducing malicious behavior into otherwise trusted agent workflows.

Expert Red Team

Human expertise. Machine-scale coverage.

Our security researchers and red team are continuously researching new attack vectors, stress-testing defenses, and standing ready for direct customer engagement when it matters most.

Active Research

Continuous investigation into emerging agentic attack vectors, zero-day techniques, and novel exploitation paths.

Direct Engagement

On-demand red team exercises against your specific agent deployments, tools, and workflows.

Remediation Support

Detailed findings with actionable remediation guidance, from policy changes to architectural recommendations.

What types of AI agent threats does Certiv detect?

Certiv detects prompt injection attacks, tool misuse and abuse, data exfiltration attempts, privilege escalation, unauthorized agent actions, and supply chain risks from compromised plugins or MCP servers. The threat hunting engine uses pattern matching across thousands of known attack signatures, behavioral anomaly detection, and proactive hunt missions triggered by emerging threat intelligence.

How does Certiv's threat hunting work for AI agents?

Certiv combines three approaches: automated detection using signature-based pattern matching and ML-driven behavioral baselines, collective intelligence that aggregates anonymized threat signals across all deployments to identify emerging attack patterns, and an expert red team that continuously researches new agentic attack vectors. This layered approach provides 24/7 coverage that adapts to the rapidly evolving AI threat landscape.

Does Certiv offer red team services for AI agent deployments?

Yes. Certiv maintains a dedicated security research and red team that performs continuous investigation into emerging agentic attack vectors, on-demand red team exercises against specific customer agent deployments, and detailed remediation guidance. The red team cycle operates continuously: investigate new threats, find and classify vulnerabilities in agent workflows, and provide actionable remediation support.
