Value proposition
First purpose-built security platform that secures AI agents at the decision point — evaluating agent intent before actions are executed, across SaaS, cloud, and hybrid environments, enabling enterprises to adopt AI agents safely.
Products and solutions
Zenity AI Agent Security Platform (AI Observability, AISPM, Exposure Management, Boundaries, Agentic Identity, MCP Security, AIDR), supports Amazon Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, Google Vertex AI, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Copilot Studio
Unique value
Zenity secures AI agents at the decision point (not just prompt or model layer), combining context (what the agent is touching) with intent (why it's acting) to prevent data leakage, shadow AI, and destructive actions in real-time.
Target customer
Fortune 500 and Global 2000 enterprises in regulated industries (financial services, healthcare, pharmaceuticals, energy, manufacturing, technology, government)
Industries served
Financial Services, Healthcare, Pharmaceuticals, Government, Retail & Manufacturing, Technology, Energy
Technology advantage
Purpose-built for AI agent security (not adapted from other categories); evaluates agent decisions in real-time using context + intent analysis; supports all major enterprise AI platforms (Microsoft, AWS, Google, Salesforce, OpenAI, Anthropic); Zenity Labs provides proprietary threat research feeding back into product; Gartner named Zenity "Company to Beat" in AI Agent Governance (2026); OWASP Top 10 for Low-Code/No-Code Security contributor; MITRE ATLAS contributor
How they differentiate
Unlike DSPM, IAM, or EDR vendors who address only one layer, Zenity provides end-to-end agent security spanning discovery, policy, identity, and runtime defense — evaluating both context (what the agent touches) and intent (why it acts) before execution. Built from the ground up for AI agents rather than adapted from other security categories.
