Xage extends zero trust to autonomous AI agents across cloud, SaaS and edge
Zero-trust cybersecurity company Xage Security Inc. today unveiled new capabilities in its platform designed to give enterprises deterministic visibility into autonomous artificial intelligence agents and block them from taking unauthorized actions when compromised.
The release introduces two components, Xage Agent Sentry and Xage Resource Gateway, that the company says together can wrap an AI agent and the resources it touches with controls operating at the network interaction, local event and operating system call levels. The pitch is that prompt-level guardrails are not sufficient once agents are connected to live databases, software-as-a-service tools and operational technology environments.
Xage Agent Sentry wraps an agent wherever it runs and monitors everything moving in and out of it. Xage Resource Gateway sits in front of critical resources and governs how AI systems interact with them. Each agent is assigned a digital identity at onboarding so security teams can attach role, resource and time-bound policies and the platform also flags unmanaged shadow AI agents so they can be onboarded or removed.
The capabilities build on the company’s previously announced Zero Trust for AI work covering Model Context Protocol and agent-to-agent communication and on its October integration with the Nvidia Corp. BlueField data processing unit aimed at securing AI factories. Xage said the new release extends coverage to SaaS applications, cloud services, on-premises systems and the edge.
