Identity layer for AI agents that ties each agent's actions to a responsible human.
Agent Security & Governance
Securing and governing AI agents: identity, permissions, MCP and runtime control, shadow-AI discovery.
This category covers tools that secure and govern the AI agents an organization runs. The problems on offer are agent identity and permissions, controlling and protecting what an agent does at runtime, governing Model Context Protocol (MCP) connections, and discovering shadow AI that no one signed off on.
Who this is for: Platform and security teams deploying internal AI agents or copilots who need identity, least-privilege permissions, runtime control, and visibility into unsanctioned AI use.
