First Recon AI launches AI Security Runtime

Enterprises now run AI everywhere. Employees chat with assistants, copilots draft documents and code, and autonomous agents take actions at machine speed. Sensitive data flows through all of it, unsanctioned AI tools spread faster than security teams can approve them, and AI spend grows without visibility or budget controls. The tools those teams rely on were built for files, email, and networks: they cannot read an AI prompt, judge the intent behind an interaction, or act before data reaches a model. The result is a gap at the center of the enterprise: security leaders are accountable for AI activity they cannot fully see, control, or explain.

Four functions on every interaction

The launch promise is the one printed across the company's homepage: secure every AI interaction. The scope is deliberate. Everywhere AI runs, from any device to any model, the same four functions apply.

AI Security Runtime closes the gap with those four functions, running on every AI interaction. It observes activity across applications, gateways, APIs, agents, tools, and endpoints. It detects sensitive data, threats, and policy violations in real time. It enforces decisions inline, allowing, redacting, holding, or blocking before data reaches a model. And it traces every decision as sealed, metadata-only evidence, ready for SIEM pipelines and compliance reporting against frameworks such as NIST, GDPR, and the EU AI Act.

The whole path

Much of the market's early response to AI risk centers on a single control point, most often a gateway or firewall inspecting traffic. First Recon considers them critical components, but not the whole answer: AI Security Runtime includes an AI firewall and an AI gateway, and joins them with semantic data security, shadow AI discovery, agent security, and cost and budget controls, all under one policy surface. A single control point watches traffic; the runtime governs the whole path.

Judged by meaning and intent

At the core of the runtime is the Semantic Security Engine™, which reads the meaning, intent, and context of each interaction rather than relying on pattern matching alone. The engine draws on the Security Context Graph™, which connects context across interactions, identities, and data sources, so detection grows sharper the more your organization uses AI. First Recon logs decisions, not content: raw prompts and data are not retained as evidence. An interaction held for review stays visible to designated reviewers until they decide; the trail then keeps the decision, not the content.

"Enterprises are not short on AI ambition; they are short on control they can prove," said Kentaro Kawamori, founder and chief executive officer of First Recon AI. "Security teams have been asked to govern AI with tools that cannot read an AI conversation, judge intent, or stop an agent before it acts. We built AI Security Runtime so companies can put AI to work aggressively, stay in control, and meet the compliance requirements now forming around AI with evidence instead of assurances."

Delivered two ways

The runtime is delivered two ways. The First Recon endpoint agent is built for organizations that require the highest levels of control and enforcement: it governs AI use across macOS and Windows devices, including AI tools the enterprise does not own or host, and stops sensitive data before it reaches a model. The First Recon app is a secure AI workspace for chat, agents, and company knowledge, used in the browser or as a desktop application, giving employees the governed alternative to unsanctioned AI tools. Together they provide coverage from device to model, with one policy surface across major AI providers, including OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and Meta.

Availability

First Recon AI Security Runtime is available today. Every engagement includes a 30-day free trial arranged with the First Recon sales team. More information is available at firstrecon.ai.
