It lets security teams trigger actions like blocking malicious activity, revoking risky access and changing configurations through existing enterprise tools. Teams can disable unauthorized MCP connections, quarantine shadow tools, remove excessive privileges, and push rules to web application firewalls and API gateways. The feature draws on Salt's Agentic Security Graph and includes a drag-and-drop workflow builder with over 200 connectors. Customers choose which findings trigger automatic action versus requiring approval, and Salt Workflows is available now. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it. Read it at the original source: ## Questions this post answers ### What does Salt Security's Autonomous Defense feature actually automate? It automates threat containment, enforcement and remediation within Salt Security's Agentic Security Platform, part of the Salt Workflows capability. Teams can trigger blocking of malicious activity, revoke risky access, disable unauthorized MCP connections, quarantine shadow tools, remove excessive privileges, and push blocking rules to web application firewalls and API gateways through existing enterprise tools. _Teams evaluating automated security response tools can track releases like this one on daily.dev._ ### How does Salt Security identify dangerous MCP connections and shadow tools? It uses the Agentic Security Graph, which connects AI agents, Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, tools and downstream APIs with data from source code, configurations, exposure and runtime behavior. This context maps potentially dangerous paths through an organization's systems, which then informs which responses customers can automate through Salt Workflows. _Developers securing MCP and AI agent deployments can follow this space on daily.dev._ ## Similar posts on daily.dev -
