Enterprise AI adoption has made identity the fastest-growing attack surface — and the hardest to govern. Josys discovers, governs, and secures every identity - human, machine, and AI agent - across every application in the enterprise. Built on policy-led governance, Josys lets security and IT teams define access policies once and enforce them autonomously: risk is surfaced, access is controlled, and identity threats are remediated in real time, without manual oversight. Trusted by over 1,000 organizations and MSPs worldwide, Josys turns identity from the fastest-growing attack surface into an autonomously governed advantage.

As organizations increasingly build digital experiences through third-party software supply chains and AI-powered agents, sensitive data is now created directly in the browser — the point of creation for digital interactions — making it one of the enterprise’s most privileged yet least governed attack surfaces. Jscrambler’s Client-Side Security Platform is powered by a Behavioral Enforcement Core that governs how application code, third-party scripts, and sensitive data behave at runtime. By enforcing software integrity and data governance directly in the browser, the platform ensures sensitive data and AI inputs are controlled according to enterprise policy at the point of creation — before they leave the client environment. Trusted by leading global retailers, airlines, financial services providers, and healthcare organizations, Jscrambler provides the visibility and enforcement organizations need to stop client-side attacks, prevent data leakage, and maintain compliance with regulations including PCI DSS, GDPR, HIPAA, CIPA, CCPA, and the EU AI Act. 41 Ratings Visit Website Airlock Digital Airlock Digital is an application control solution that enforces a Deny by Default security posture. It enables organizations to define trusted applications, scripts, libraries, and processes at a granular level using file hash, path, publisher, or parent process. Only those explicitly defined as trusted are allowed to execute. The platform supports Windows, macOS, and Linux systems, including legacy operating systems and operational technology (OT) environments. Airlock Digital includes allowlisting and blocklisting capabilities, integrated file reputation checks via VirusTotal, and detailed logging for audit and compliance. Exception management is supported through features such as rule-based overrides and time-bound One-Time Passwords (OTPs). Centralized policy management allows consistent enforcement across large and distributed environments. The platform is available as an on-premises deployment, in the cloud, or as a managed hosted service. 35 Ratings Visit Website Pipefy Pipefy is the AI-driven Business Orchestration and Automation Technologies (BOAT) platform that delivers enterprise results in days, not months. Designed as a secure orchestration layer, Pipefy bridges the gap between rigid legacy systems (ERPs/CRMs) and agile business needs. It allows IT teams to centralize disparate processes under a single control plane, eliminating Shadow IT through an Adaptive Governance framework. Key Capabilities: • Process Orchestration: Manage complex, non-linear workflows across departments without replacing core systems. • Enterprise iPaaS: Native connectors for the main systems of records to unify data silos. • Agentic AI: Deploy autonomous AI agents for document analysis and task execution using a BYOLLM (Bring Your Own LLM) engine. • Security: SOC2 Type II and ISO 27001 certified with granular RBAC. Empower your team to modernize operations and reduce the development backlog with Pipefy. 594 Ratings Visit Website Denodo Denodo offers an AI Data Layer that helps organizations deliver live, unified, and governed data for trustworthy AI, analytics, and self-service initiatives. The platform uses logical data management to connect distributed data across hybrid, multi-cloud, on-premises, SaaS, and third-party environments without requiring data movement or duplication. Denodo helps businesses integrate data silos, enable self-service access, enforce governance, deliver real-time insights, and enrich data with business context. It is designed to support agentic AI by giving AI agents accurate, up-to-date, and governed enterprise data for better decisions and actions. The platform includes capabilities such as zero-copy data access, unified semantics, centralized compliance, natural language search, data marketplaces, and optimized query performance. 388 Ratings Visit Website Retool Securely deploy vibe-coded apps in one governed platform. Build in Retool, import from tools like Claude Code, Replit, or Lovable, or connect via MCP. However your team builds, every app ships safely, with governance built in. People across your organization are already vibe-coding internal tools with no SSO, no RBAC, no audit logs, and no connection to your existing data controls. Retool is where secure vibe coding happens by default. Build from scratch, import an app from another AI builder, or connect an agent via MCP — governance lives in the platform, not in each individual app. 598 Ratings Visit Website StackAI StackAI is an enterprise AI automation platform to build end-to-end internal tools and processes with AI agents in a fully compliant and secure way. Designed for large, regulated organizations, it enables teams to automate complex workflows across operations, compliance, finance, IT, and support without heavy engineering. With StackAI you can: • Connect knowledge bases (SharePoint, Confluence, Notion, Google Drive, databases) with versioning, citations, and access controls • Publish AI agents as chat assistants, advanced forms, or APIs integrated into Slack, Teams, Salesforce, HubSpot, or ServiceNow • Govern usage with enterprise security: SSO (Okta, Azure AD, Google), RBAC, audit logs, PII masking, data residency, and cost controls • Route across OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, or local LLMs with guardrails, evaluations, and testing • Deploy in multi-tenant cloud, dedicated cloud, private cloud, or on-premise 55 Ratings Visit Website Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform is a comprehensive solution from Google Cloud designed to help organizations build, scale, govern, and optimize AI agents.

About Agent Control is the open source control plane for AI agents, built to establish a new standard for governing agent behavior at scale. It solves the problem of scattered, hardcoded checks by giving teams a centralized governance layer with step-level enforcement that can be managed from a single control plane and updated in real time without touching agent code. Developers can make any function governable by adding the control() decorator, turning meaningful decision points inside an agent into independently governed control points with their own policies. When a decorated function executes, Agent Control evaluates the input or output against the active policy and returns a decision: deny, steer, warn, log, or allow. If the decision is denied, the SDK raises a ControlViolationError before the unsafe action can proceed. Policies are decoupled from code, so developers decide where to place control hooks while policy teams decide what those hooks enforce.	About FirstHelm is a control plane for AI agents. It sits between your agent fleet — n8n, OpenAI, Anthropic, CrewAI, LangChain, Microsoft Copilot Studio, or any custom agent via REST API — and the rest of the world, deciding what each agent is allowed to do, not just showing what it did. Every action is logged and checked in flight against your rules: budget caps, blocked actions, and per-mission cost and token visibility. Expensive, risky or irreversible actions are held for human approval, and unanswered approvals expire safely — silence is not consent. Live dashboards let you steer agents mid-mission, and FirstHelm generates audit trails and compliance exports mapped to the EU AI Act, ISO 42001, SOC 2, UK GDPR, NIST AI RMF and FCA expectations — 38 controls, scored live from your own data. Freemium, framework-agnostic, UK-built.
