Akto vs. Knostic Comparison Chart

Knostic is an enterprise AI security and governance platform designed to prevent data leakage and control how large language models access and share information within organizations. It introduces “need-to-know”–based access controls that dynamically determine what information an AI system can reveal based on user roles, context, and intent, rather than relying solely on static file permissions. It focuses on the knowledge layer between raw data and AI-generated responses, analyzing how information is inferred, combined, and delivered to ensure sensitive content is not overshared. Knostic provides continuous visibility into AI usage across tools like Copilot and other LLM-powered assistants, identifying risks such as semantic oversharing, inference-based exposure, and unauthorized knowledge access. It simulates real-world prompts to uncover hidden vulnerabilities before deployment, assigns quantified risk scores, and enables organizations to enforce granular policies.
