+What ai security platforms are
AI security platforms inventory the models, agents and AI apps in use, score their posture, red-team them with attack libraries, and add runtime guardrails on prompts and outputs. Some also scan model files and the AI supply chain.

+Honest answer
Which do you need?
+AI security platforms alone is enough when
- You need an inventory and a risk score before anything else
- Your AI is mostly chat and retrieval, not agents taking actions
- Model files and ML pipelines are your main concern
+You need a decision layer when
- Agents push code, move money, change records or send messages on their own
- Blocking text isn't enough: the dangerous part is the action and its arguments
- People need to approve some actions, without approving everything
+Better together
Already have a posture platform? Keep it for inventory and model scanning. Put Intertrace in the path to decide what each agent is actually allowed to do.
