Claude Code, an autonomous AI agent widely used by developers to write and manage code, operates with developers’ permissions across multiple systems at machine speed, raising governance challenges for CIOs. While Claude Code includes hooks that enforce centrally managed policies by inspecting proposed actions before execution, these hooks do not provide visibility into what the agent actually does at runtime, such as spawning additional processes or accessing cloud credentials. Effective governance requires combining these hook-based controls with runtime execution visibility to monitor and trace agent activity end-to-end, enabling security teams to detect, investigate, and respond to risks that occur between policy checkpoints.
