Impart Security is a runtime application and AI security company focused on stopping AI, API, and web application attacks in production. Its platform operates inline, inspecting requests before they reach backend systems and using shared behavioral context to determine intent across AI agents, MCP servers, APIs, and web apps.
Impart Security positions runtime as the control point for modern application defense. The company emphasizes blocking threats while they are in flight rather than alerting after the fact, with a unified enforcement engine that supports virtual patching, policy-driven controls, and production-safe protection for fast-changing attack surfaces.
Offerings, Capabilities, and Integrations
Impart Security delivers a unified inline runtime security architecture built around shared session state, behavioral analysis, and real-time enforcement. Its approach centers on evaluating requests in context, correlating activity across sessions and surfaces, and applying policy decisions before execution completes.
The platform supports code-based rules, policy-as-code workflows, and automated testing against synthetic and live traffic. Impart Security also layers AI-assisted authoring and investigation into the workflow, with guardrails such as unit testing, regression testing, audit trails, human review, and canary validation to help teams deploy protections safely in production.
Impart Security is designed to fit existing security and engineering workflows. It uses monitoring and CI inputs to inspect live requests, operates across multi-cloud environments without required platform changes, and is positioned to work alongside modern application delivery and runtime environments.
Products and Services
- Complete Runtime Protection Platform: Unified enforcement platform that inspects requests to AI agents, MCP servers, APIs, and web apps, evaluates intent in context, and blocks attacks inline before backend execution.
- Runtime Defense Agents: Set of inline AI security agents for patching, detection, reporting, and testing that help security teams investigate findings, generate protections, and validate defenses continuously.
- LLM Protection: Runtime enforcement for LLM interactions that is designed to stop prompt injection, data exfiltration, and agent misuse through sequence-aware inspection and inline controls.
- Agent Protection: Control layer for AI agents in production that evaluates identity, role, prior actions, tool access, and request sequences to block deceptive behavior, privilege escalation, and unauthorized tool use.
- MCP Protection: Runtime control for the MCP layer that catalogs MCP servers and tools from live traffic and enforces inline policy on callers, servers, tools, and arguments before execution.
- WAF: Web application firewall built for agentic attack patterns, with inline runtime enforcement, rapid virtual patching, and session-aware protection for web application abuse and injection attempts.
- API Security: Sequence-aware API protection that evaluates requests in context, enforces schema correctness, detects shadow APIs, validates authentication and token integrity, and helps prevent sensitive data loss.
- Impart AI: AI-native workspace for runtime protection that brings conversational policy creation, testing, specialized security assistants, and orchestrated AI workflows into a single environment.
Target Customers
Impart Security targets security engineers, application security teams, and broader security organizations that need to stop threats in production rather than only observe them. Its messaging is aimed at teams defending web applications, APIs, AI applications, LLM-driven systems, AI agents, and MCP-connected environments.
The company is suited to organizations running modern application stacks and multi-cloud environments, especially those that want policy-as-code workflows, AI-assisted defensive engineering, and runtime controls that fit existing security and engineering processes without requiring major platform changes.
