MDR Coverage
AI Security

Security operations coverage for AI systems

AI adoption is moving faster than security teams can monitor. Employees use Claude, Claude Code, and agentic tools daily – introducing new data flows, new connected tools, and new behaviors that no existing security stack was designed to see. Daylight builds detection and response coverage for this layer, inside your MDR service.

AI risk per OWASP 2026: prompt injection in agentic systems

The Challenge

What security teams are being asked to answer – and can't

AI systems now interact with sensitive data, connect to external tools, and take actions across your environment. Security teams are accountable for that risk – but lack the visibility and detection coverage to manage it.

1

No visibility into AI runtime behavior

What data is being accessed? Which tools are being invoked? What instructions is the model following? Most organizations have no programmatic visibility into what AI agents actually do during a session.

2

New attack surface with no detection layer

Prompt injection, shadow MCPs, credential access through agents, and runaway sessions are real and growing threats. None of them trigger existing EDR, SIEM, or identity detections – they require a detection layer built for AI.

3

Governance ≠ security operations

Audit logs and compliance dashboards tell you AI was used. They don't tell you what happened inside a session. Security operations requires detection rules, investigation workflows, and response – not just log access.

What Daylight Covers

Detection and response for AI-native threats

Daylight builds detection rules on top of Claude Enterprise's runtime telemetry – both the Compliance API for governance events and OTel for session-level behavior – and investigates findings through the same MDR workflows as your endpoints, cloud, and identity.

Prompt Injection Detection

Detect attempts to manipulate AI agents through malicious instructions embedded in files, tool outputs, web content, or MCP results – before the agent acts on them.

Injection patterns in tool output streams

Untrusted web content followed by sensitive file access

Instruction override attempts in agent context

MCP & Tool Governance

Surface MCP servers your engineers are invoking that were never centrally approved – shadow AI tooling that bypasses governance and creates supply chain risk.

First-seen MCP server invocations

MCP scope drift beyond declared purpose

Personal connectors bypassing admin install

Credential & Data Exfiltration

Detect when an AI agent reads a sensitive file – credentials, keys, source code – and then makes an outbound network call in the same session.

.aws/credentials or .env access → external egress

SSH key or API token followed by curl/MCP send

Sensitive prompt content leaving the org perimeter

Identity & Permission Behavior

Track when users accumulate permanent auto-approvals on high-risk AI tool categories, or when two identities appear to share an AI account simultaneously.

Auto-approval drift on Bash, WebFetch, MCP write

Concurrent sessions from irreconcilable locations

Agent acting on behalf of a user outside business hours

Runaway & Cost Anomalies

Identify sessions accumulating tool activity with no recent user prompt – the signature of a runaway scheduled task, a misconfigured loop, or an attacker driving the agent unattended.

High tool activity with no user prompt > 15 min

Session cost 5-10x above user baseline

Off-hours activity outside normal user patterns

Data & Context Exposure

Detect sensitive organizational data entering AI prompt context at rates above user baseline – and correlate cross-project context bleed where AI agents blur data boundaries.

DLP-sensitive terms in prompt stream above baseline

Files from separated repos in the same session

Customer data accessed through personal MCP

How It Works

Investigated through your MDR workflow

AI-native threats don't go to a separate team or a separate queue. Every detection enters the same investigation cycle as your endpoint and cloud alerts – with full enterprise context applied at every step.

01 – Detection

Rules fire on AI telemetry

Detection rules run continuously against Claude Enterprise's OTel runtime stream and Compliance API. When a rule triggers, an investigation begins automatically.

OTel session behavior

Compliance API governance

02 — Investigation

Correlated with full context

AI signals are correlated with identity, endpoint, cloud, SaaS, and business context – so the investigation understands who did this, in what role, and whether it's genuinely risky.

User identity & role

Behavioral baseline

Session reconstruction

03 — Verdict

Malicious, suspicious, or benign

Every investigation produces a verdict with a complete evidence chain – what data was consulted, what logic was applied. Not a score. A documented decision.

04 — Response

Action taken in your environment

Where warranted, Daylight executes response: revoking sessions, blocking access, quarantining accounts, or escalating to experts for active incident handling.
