Operate AI agents safely

Know which agent is acting, who it acts for, and stop the request before it lands

AI agents moved from pilots into your employees' everyday tools faster than security could onboard them. Mesh agentic security finds them, ties each one to the person it acts for, and shows what each one actually did. Through the gateway, it checks every agent call against the person, the agent, and live risk, and denies it unless policy allows it.

The challenge

Your controls check who an agent is. Few of them check what it does.

Agents arrived without onboarding

Discovery tools and spreadsheets cover the certificates someone remembered to register. Outages come from the rest: the test certificate promoted to production, the appliance no one owns, the certificate issued straight to a phone.

Every tool sees a slice

Eight renewals a year, per certificate, across thousands of certificates. Manual tickets and one-off scripts held up at annual renewal. At this cadence they turn into a standing queue of outages waiting for a date.

A valid identity can still take the wrong action

Public CAs, a Microsoft CA, a cloud provider's CA, a vendor's private CA. Each has its own tools and its own view, so no one sees the whole estate, and policy depends on which console a certificate came from.

The four questions

The four questions every enterprise is asking about AI agents

How Mesh answers it
What AI agents and tools do we have, who uses them, and what are they doing?
See what your agents actually do
Mesh finds agents through the EDR you already run and Microsoft Entra Agent ID, plus the agents connected through the gateway. It ties each one to a person and an owner, and audits each request.
Are they sanctioned, or is this shadow AI?
See what your agents actually do
Every AI tool Mesh finds is sorted into sanctioned, unsanctioned, and suspicious, and tools with a known-harmful reputation are flagged.
What should an agent be allowed to do on its user's behalf?
Stop the risky request
Through the gateway, every agent call is checked against the person, the agent, and live risk, and denied unless policy allows it.
How do we deal with shadow AI?

Show the board

Public CAs, a Microsoft CA, a cloud provider's CA, a vendor's private CA. Each has its own tools and its own view, so no one sees the whole estate, and policy depends on which console a certificate came from.

Visibility

Find agents, the person each one acts for, and what each one actually does.

Context

The owner, the person behind it, and what it can reach.

Prioritization

Rank agents alongside your human and non-human identities.

Act

Route fixes into the tools you already run, and decide each agent call through the gateway.

How Mesh fits

Keep the tools you have. Mesh shows what they can't.

What Mesh adds
Policy documents and spreadsheets
Fast and free
Nobody knows which agents exist, who owns them, or what they did
Finds agents and ties each to a person and an owner
Network tools
Show which application an agent went to
Not what it did there; miss AI running locally or in the cloud
Shows each request: what it called, where it went, whether it succeeded
EDR on its own
Sees which processes run and where they go
Not what the agent does; no decision on each call
Builds on your EDR, audits each request, and decides each call through the gateway
Cloud AI platforms
Tight control for agents built inside them
Machine identities on the same lifecycle as people, renewed before they expire, in the same view the CIO sees.
Conductor NHI in the FedRAMP Moderate cloud offering: ACME, SCEP, EST, and CMP enrollment; an auto-enrollment proxy that registers as a standard CA in the Active Directory forest; templates, notification policy, and role-based administration.
Identity provider agent registries
Register agents and issue on-behalf-of tokens
No audit of the actual requests
Audits what each agent requested, tied to the person it acts for
Agent discovery and NHI tools
Deep inventory of agents and non-human identities
Stop at the inventory
Request-level audit, policy, and one risk ranking across people, non-human identities, agents, and cryptography

Keep your cloud AI platform for the agents you build there. Mesh covers the agents outside it.

Use cases

Where teams see impact

Shadow AI on employee laptops

Discovery tools and spreadsheets cover the certificates someone remembered to register. Outages come from the rest: the test certificate promoted to production, the appliance no one owns, the certificate issued straight to a phone.

A workforce AI rollout

Eight renewals a year, per certificate, across thousands of certificates. Manual tickets and one-off scripts held up at annual renewal. At this cadence they turn into a standing queue of outages waiting for a date.

Agents beyond your cloud AI platform

Public CAs, a Microsoft CA, a cloud provider's CA, a vendor's private CA. Each has its own tools and its own view, so no one sees the whole estate, and policy depends on which console a certificate came from.

The owner leaves, the agent keeps running

Public CAs, a Microsoft CA, a cloud provider's CA, a vendor's private CA. Each has its own tools and its own view, so no one sees the whole estate, and policy depends on which console a certificate came from.

Start by seeing. Add policy when you're ready.

In a pilot, Mesh shows where your agents are, what each one actually does, where it goes, and whether each request succeeded. Policy on what agents may do is optional, so teams that aren't ready to block anything still get the audit on day one.

Integrations

Works with what you already run

Mesh reads from the stack you have: identity providers, HR systems, cloud platforms, ticketing, PAM, and secrets managers. For AI agents, it builds on the EDR you already run, including CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Cortex XDR, and Microsoft Defender, and on Microsoft Entra Agent ID. No rip-and-replace, and nothing new to install on employee laptops.

Questions from security and compliance leaders

What is agentic identity?

An AI agent is an identity that acts for someone. It holds credentials, calls tools and data, and makes decisions without a person approving each step. Agentic identity security ties each agent to the person it acts for and an owner, records what it does, and decides what it may do.

How does Mesh find AI agents?

Through the EDR you already run, including CrowdStrike, Palo Alto Cortex XDR, and Microsoft Defender, through Microsoft Entra Agent ID, and through the agents connected to the gateway.

Does Mesh replace governance in Amazon Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, or Copilot Studio?

No. Keep your cloud AI platform for the agents you build there. Mesh covers the agents beyond any single platform, on employee laptops and in other tools, and shows what they actually do.

Does Mesh see what an agent actually did, or only where it went?

What it did. Mesh audits each request an agent makes: what it called, where it went, whether it succeeded, and how long it took.

Can Mesh stop an agent request?

Yes, for agents connected through the gateway. Each call is checked against the person, the agent, and live risk, and denied unless policy allows it. Agents Mesh finds but that aren't connected are routed to an owner to approve or remove.

Do we have to block anything to start?

No. Most teams start with the audit and add policy later.

Does Mesh replace governance in Amazon Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, or Copilot Studio?

No. Keep those for the agents you build there. Mesh covers agents beyond any one platform and shows what they do.

How does Mesh prioritize agent risk?

Mesh ranks each agent alongside your human and non-human identities by what it can reach and how exposed it is, so the agent with a path to a critical system rises to the top.

Find your AI agents

In a pilot, we'll show you where your agents are, who each one acts for, and what each request actually did.
