Commercial Layer 7: Agent and tool access

Best for

Security teams that need to govern agents built inside SaaS copilot platforms such as Copilot Studio and Agentforce

Consider instead if

  • You want a guardrail API for a single LLM application rather than a platform for agents. See Lakera Guard.
  • You want an open-source scanner to probe a model before release. See garak.

What Zenity does

Zenity is a commercial platform for securing and governing AI agents. Its platform page describes a live inventory of agents across SaaS, custom and endpoint deployments, posture checks that compare agent configuration and permissions against policy, Runtime Boundaries that evaluate each agent action and can allow, block or shut the agent down, and AI detection and response for runtime threats. Its pages name Microsoft Copilot Studio, Salesforce Agentforce, ChatGPT Enterprise, AWS Bedrock and Google Vertex AI. The docs site lists integrations and a user guide, but Zenity does not publish prices or a deployment guide in what we opened, so confirm packaging with the vendor.

Where Zenity fits in our AI security layers

Our analysis

Our editorial model, not a standard. The primary layer follows the category, except for tools whose main documented job is detection and response; other layers rest on a capability the sources document. How the model works.

AI security layers that Zenity covers, with the role, how each applies and what it rests on
LayerRoleHow it appliesBased on
L7 Agent access Agent and tool access Primary Limit which tools, MCP servers, data and credentials an agent can use, and require approval for risky actions. Follows its category, Agent & MCP security
L2 Discovery Discovery and posture Also covers Documents a live inventory of agents. Builds a live inventory of agents across SaaS, custom and endpoint deployments
L8 Monitoring Monitoring and response Also covers Documents AI detection and response that detects runtime threats and blocks unsafe actions. Detects runtime threats and blocks unsafe actions in real time

OWASP LLM Top 10 mapping

Our analysis

The risk list is OWASP's (Top 10 for LLM Applications, 2025). The mapping is our analysis, and each row rests on a capability the sources document.

OWASP LLM risks mapped to Zenity, with the capabilities each mapping rests on
RiskHow it appliesBased on
LLM06 Excessive Agency Runtime Boundaries can block agent actions, and posture checks review agent permissions. Evaluates each agent's configuration and permissions against policy before deployment; Evaluates every agent action in real time and can allow, block or shut down the agent

Not mapped in our analysis: LLM01, LLM02, LLM05, LLM07. These are risks we expect tools in this category to cover; the sources we checked do not document a matching capability.
