But its acquisition of Prompt Security quietly turned it into a critical infrastructure play for this exact problem,” Citron Research said in a <a class="st-link-external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://x.com/CitronResearch/status/2016174746149286079">post</a> on X.<h2 class="st-heading-2">The Rationale</h2>Citron Research said that personal AI assistant Clawdbot leverages Model Context Protocol (MCP) to take real-world actions based on local computer files and data, making users susceptible to security compromises.The firm argued that since traditional antivirus systems don’t have access to AI conversations, they will be unable to identify if an agent has been hijacked by a malicious prompt until after damage is done.Prompt Security’s MCP Gateway acts as a real-time command filter, Citron said, adding that all actions by Clawdbot get inspected. Its security features act as a real-time control layer for AI interactions, redacting sensitive data, blocking unauthorized AI use, and enforcing policy before actions are executed.In August, SentinelOne acquired Israel-based startup Prompt Security, foraying into the generative (GenAI) and agentic AI security in the workplace.“If a phishing email tricks an agent into leaking files or credentials, SentinelOne stops the action before it runs. This isn’t “antivirus.” It’s the governance layer for the agentic ecosystem,” Citron said in the post. “The Clawdbot era is an endpoint war. That’s the technical edge,” the firm added.The research firm also highlighted SentinelOne’s valuation, noting that the company trades at about 4.9 times price-to-sales multiple despite owning the agent-security choke point.
