## Quick answer

ai.bitdefender.com lists Bitdefender's products for AI agents. Three today: AI Guardian checks each action an agent tries to take against a policy (macOS, open beta). Agent Skill Scanner checks a skill’s files for security risks before you install it (available). VPN for AI Agents runs each prompt’s traffic, sent through Bitdefender’s MCP tools, over a disposable connection in a chosen location (macOS, external beta).

## AI is not the future of cybersecurity. It’s the reality of today.

Bitdefender has worked with AI in cybersecurity since 2008, from machine learning to deep learning and now agentic AI. This is where all of it lives: the products, the technologies and the research behind them.

**Featured · what’s new:** Bitdefender VPN for AI Agents — New · External beta. Controlled, encrypted egress for autonomous agents. Choose which country your agents connect from, prompt by prompt. (https://ai.bitdefender.com/vpn-for-agents)

## Three products for three problems

Controlling what an agent may do, checking the skills you give it, and keeping its traffic off your own connection. Each one has its own page, documentation and install steps.

### Bitdefender VPN for AI Agents

_External beta · macOS · since Sep 2026_

Bitdefender VPN for AI Agents is a macOS VPN scoped to AI-agent traffic. Each prompt gets its own container, scoped to a specific location and destroyed when the prompt ends, so no cookies, cache, or session state carries over. It covers what Claude Desktop, Cursor, Codex, and OpenCode route through Bitdefender’s MCP tools. Free with no traffic caps during beta, currently in external beta.

### Bitdefender AI Guardian

_Open BETA · macOS · since Aug 2026_

AI Guardian is a Bitdefender security product that helps protect people and organisations from the risks of autonomous AI agents — prompt injection, unsafe tool use, data leakage, and unauthorised actions. It adds a baseline security model of policies, permissions, and auditing, guardrails for tool execution, and monitoring and response workflows.

### Agent Skill Scanner

_Available · since Aug 2026_

Agent Skill Scanner is a Bitdefender agent skill that audits another agent skill before you install or trust it. It walks every file, runs 71 behavioural detectors across 16 threat categories, extracts 18 indicator types, and returns an LLM-generated report with a risk level, summary and per-file findings. Install it with "npx skills add bitdefender/agent-skill-scanner", from GitHub, or as a zip archive.
