Geordie AI has introduced a new solution called Beam to tackle the growing security risks associated with AI agent ecosystems. The announcement was made by CEO Henry Comfort at the RSAC Innovation Sandbox in San Francisco. Beam uses context engineering to manage risk holistically. It feeds mitigation strategies back to agents in real time. This approach ensures that security measures do not slow down corporate productivity or innovation.

Recent data shows that 70 per cent of developers use coding agents daily. Additionally, Microsoft reports that over 80 per cent of Fortune 500 companies are now using agents. However, Gartner has noted that 74 per cent of security leaders view these agents as a entirely new attack vector. Traditional security tools are often unable to secure agents that carry context between systems and make decisions instantly. Beam addresses this by mapping agent behaviour and configuration to provide specific, adaptive security policies.

“Our customers want to actively address the security issues in their AI agents so their organizations can innovate quicker,” says CEO and Co-Founder Henry Comfort. “Geordie helps them do this with a context-driven ‘easy button’ that takes care of risks before they snowball into massive problems.”

The launch comes during a period of rapid growth for the London firm. Geordie AI has seen a tenfold increase in secured agents over the last five months. Revenue has also grown tenfold in just two months. The company was recently named a representative vendor in Gartner’s Market Guide for Guardian Agents. It also secured a win at the Black Hat Innovation Spotlight competition in London.

Leo Cunningham, CISO at Owkin, spoke about the necessity of the technology. “For us, AI agents are a necessity to our competitive advantage,” he said. “We chose to work with Geordie because of its purpose-built approach, which doesn’t risk the business innovation that started our AI agent journey in the first place.”

By moving away from fixed rules, Beam creates a system that improves the more it is used. This allows enterprises to move beyond isolated pilots and adopt AI agents at scale with proper governance. The suite ensures that security responses are specific to the environment in which the agent operates.
