SecureAuth has announced the launch of its Agentic Authority Platform, a real-time zero-trust control layer for AI agents, alongside the appointment of Mark van Oppen as Chief Revenue Officer.
SecureAuth, a leading identity security company, has introduced the Agentic Authority Platform to meet the growing security demands of autonomous AI agents operating within enterprises. The platform provides continuous, fine-grained authorization for every action taken by AI agents.
Industry data highlights significant gaps, with 91% of AI agents over-privileged, 78% of deployments lacking audit trails, and 64% of organizations unable to detect shadow AI agents. Prompt injection and unauthorized actions pose serious risks as agents handle tasks such as writing invoices, calling APIs, and moving data.
The Agentic Authority Platform eliminates implicit trust after authentication by evaluating every API call, tool invocation, and transaction in real time against identity, policy, and risk context. Unsafe actions are blocked, downscoped, or escalated as required.
“Authentication tells you who walked in the door,” said Geoffrey Mattson, CEO of SecureAuth. “It tells you nothing about whether the next transaction should happen. The Agentic Authority Platform answers that question continuously, for every action, for every agent, every time.”
- **Real-Time, Zero-Trust Control**: Authorizes actions with no standing privileges across full context including who, what, when, where, and how much. Supports credential federation via OAuth 2.0, OIDC, mTLS, and more. - **Real-Time Visibility**: Provides live attribution of agent actions to human users and business purposes, eliminating shadow agents. - **Agent Detection and Response (ADR)**: Establishes behavioral baselines with rapid anomaly detection, automatic downscoping, revocation, or denial. - **Tamperproof Audit and Compliance**: Maintains an immutable record of all actions for audit, regulatory export, and SIEM integration.
All capabilities operate on a single identity-anchored audit trail, delivering unified control, visibility, detection, and compliance.
“Routeware is scaling AI across our business with the governance to match,” said Jeremy Collins, CEO of Routeware. “When SecureAuth showed us the Agentic Authority Platform, it was an easy decision to move forward. The visibility and control it gives us are exactly what we need to move confidently in the AI era.”
To support enterprise adoption, SecureAuth has appointed Mark van Oppen as Chief Revenue Officer. Van Oppen brings extensive experience from leadership roles at IBM, Heptio, VMware, and FusionAuth, with deep expertise in cloud, Kubernetes, and identity.
“Mark understands how to scale revenue around infrastructure that customers cannot afford to get wrong. That is exactly what identity has become,” said Geoffrey Mattson, CEO of SecureAuth.
“The next era of identity will be defined by continuous control, not one-time access decisions,” said Mark van Oppen, Chief Revenue Officer at SecureAuth. “SecureAuth is building for that future at exactly the right moment, and the launch of the Agentic Authority Platform is the clearest proof. I am excited to join the team and help more enterprises adopt a modern identity platform built for technical depth, deployment flexibility, and the realities of AI-driven risk.”
This dual announcement positions SecureAuth at the forefront of identity security in the agentic AI era, offering enterprises the governance and control necessary for secure AI deployment.
