Mitiga Unveils Agentic Runtime Security for Cloud, SaaS, Identity, and AI Protection
What Happened — Mitiga announced Agentic Runtime Security, a log‑based runtime detection and response solution that monitors audit‑trail data across cloud workloads, SaaS applications, third‑party identity providers, AI services, and other external platforms. The platform is designed to anticipate, detect, interrupt, and stop active attacks before they affect the business, filling the visibility gap left by traditional endpoint‑centric EDR tools.
Why It Matters for Compliance & Audit Readiness
- SOC 2 CC6.1 (Monitoring) requires continuous observation of all critical assets; Agentic extends that monitoring beyond endpoints to the modern attack surface.
- SOC 2 CC7.1 (Incident Response) expects documented evidence of detection and response actions; the platform’s log‑based alerts generate audit‑ready artifacts automatically.
- Mapping runtime detections to control objectives provides continuous evidence for third‑party risk assessments and audit examinations.
Who Is Affected – Enterprises that rely heavily on SaaS, cloud infrastructure, AI‑enabled tools, and third‑party identity services – notably technology SaaS providers, financial services firms, healthcare organizations, and any sector with extensive shadow‑IT footprints.
Recommended Actions
- Map the new runtime detection capabilities to SOC 2 controls CC6.1 and CC7.1 in your compliance framework.
- Integrate audit‑trail logs from cloud, SaaS, and identity providers into your continuous‑compliance evidence collection pipeline.
- Validate that alerts and containment actions are captured as immutable audit records for future examinations.

Technical Notes – Agentic relies on native audit‑trail logs rather than host agents, enabling coverage of “agent‑less” assets such as SaaS APIs, AI model endpoints, and non‑human identities (e.g., service‑account bots). It addresses emerging threats like AI‑driven exploit chains, shadow‑SaaS misuse, and credential‑less attacks. Source: same as above
