Radware Adds Agent Security for Claude Code

Radware said on July 7, 2026 that its Agentic AI Protection product now covers developer-hosted agents such as Claude Code, adding compliance reporting and deeper visibility into agent activity, SiliconANGLE reported. The update maps agent interactions and dependencies, governs which tools an agent can use, and produces audit-ready evidence aligned to ISO 42001, the EU AI Act, and NIST's AI Risk Management Framework. "These enhancements help organizations better understand agent behavior, support their compliance efforts and help extend protection to AI agents operating across both SaaS and local developer-hosted environments," said David Aviv, Radware's chief technology officer. For security teams, the practical signal is that agent governance is moving beyond SaaS dashboards into local developer endpoints where source code, credentials, and build tools are exposed.
Developer-hosted coding agents are becoming part of the enterprise control plane, so visibility gaps on laptops and workstations now matter to AI governance. The Radware update is less about one vendor feature than about where agent-security controls are moving: from SaaS-only monitoring toward endpoints where agents can touch source code, secrets, build tools, and internal services.
What happened
SiliconANGLE reported on July 7, 2026 that Radware expanded its Agentic AI Protection product with compliance reporting, deeper visibility into AI agent activity, and protection for developer-hosted agents including Anthropic's Claude Code. The report says the update maps agent activity, interactions, and dependencies, and adds audit-ready reporting aligned to ISO 42001, the EU AI Act, and the NIST AI Risk Management Framework. "Organizations are deploying AI agents across increasingly complex environments, creating new requirements for visibility, governance and security," said David Aviv, Radware's chief technology officer, in comments to SiliconANGLE. "These enhancements help organizations better understand agent behavior, support their compliance efforts and help extend protection to AI agents operating across both SaaS and local developer-hosted environments."
Technical context
According to SiliconANGLE's reporting, the update lets security teams monitor agent behavior across conversations, govern which tools an agent can use, and guard sensitive data on developer machines. That matters because local coding agents often run with developer context: repository access, shell tools, build systems, tokens, and sometimes production-adjacent credentials. Agent governance that misses the endpoint can undercount the most sensitive tool calls. Radware's own product page confirms the Agentic AI Protection line combines visibility, governance, and real-time behavioral defense, though LDS could not independently verify the specific prompt-injection and jailbreak-control details from the vendor's own page directly.
For practitioners
The useful evaluation checklist is telemetry coverage, tool-control enforcement, data-loss safeguards, prompt-injection handling, and whether the product exports evidence into existing GRC, SIEM, endpoint, or secure-development workflows. A separate agent-only dashboard is less useful if security teams cannot correlate local agent behavior with identity, device posture, repository access, and incident response.
What to watch
Buyers should look for independent testing, clear deployment boundaries, and integration details rather than only framework alignment claims. The stronger signal will be whether agent-security products can enforce controls without breaking developer workflows or creating another unmanaged endpoint agent.
Key Points
- 1Radware added coverage for developer-hosted agents such as Claude Code, extending agent security beyond SaaS environments.
- 2Compliance reporting is framed around ISO 42001, the EU AI Act, and NIST AI RMF evidence needs, per CTO David Aviv.
- 3Practitioners should compare endpoint telemetry, tool-control enforcement, data-loss safeguards, and existing security-stack integrations.
Scoring Rationale
Score held at 5.8: a solid security product update addressing a real governance gap around developer-hosted AI agents and endpoint-level tool access, corroborated directly with SiliconANGLE's reporting and a named CTO quote. It remains a vendor-specific release rather than a broad market or regulatory milestone, so it stays in the solid-not-major band.
