Helmet Security
About Helmet Security
Helmet is the first end-to-end security platform built to protect enterprises from rapidly evolving agentic AI communications. The platform continuously discovers and manages MCP servers, bringing them under enforced policy so security leaders can identify risky activity, prevent unsanctioned or overprivileged workflows, and react instantly to new connections.
Helmet Security Story
Today, MCP is the leading method enabling AI agents to plug directly into business systems and Helmet provides instant, installation-free visibility into where and how those MCP connections are operating by integrating directly with existing EDR tools. As enterprises accelerate their adoption of agentic AI, the connections that power these systems are multiplying. Helmet Security was created to solve this problem outright: continuously discovering, monitoring, and enforcing controls on MCP servers today while building an adaptive foundation to secure all forms of agentic connectivity as they evolve. Achitected by Kaushik Shanadi, an experienced security architect and engineering leader, and led by Fred Kneip, a veteran security and risk executive, Helmet protects innovation without slowing it down. The platform continuously discovers and manages MCP servers, bringing them under enforced policy so security leaders can identify risky activity, prevent unsanctioned or overprivileged workflows, and react instantly to new connections. As AI-to-AI communication patterns expand beyond MCP, Helmet is built to secure every next step, ensuring enterprises can innovate safely now and in the future. The Helmet platform focuses on discovery, automatic scanning to identify MCP servers and migrate them to a managed state; monitoring, continuous obswervation and logging of traffic across all MCP connections; and management, structured access policies with the ability to identify and block out-of-policy or noncompliant connections. Every time a new server or communication path appears, Helmet Security detects it, brings it under control, and empowers CISOs to enforce policy instantly, no matter how quickly developers innovate.
