  • Zenity secures FedRAMP “In Process” status, progressing toward authorization for federal use.
  • The platform addresses runtime risks of autonomous AI agents, including data exposure, credential misuse, and unauthorized actions.
  • Partnership with Knox Systems accelerates authorization by deploying within their precertified platform and Authority to Operate (ATO).
  • Zenity provides continuous AI agent discovery, inventory, posture management, runtime detection/prevention, and compliance reporting.
  • Solution aligns with NIST guidelines, OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications, and secure AI adoption directives.
  • Expected completion in upcoming review cycles to expand secure AI options for innovative yet compliant federal agencies.

Addressing Runtime Risks in Agentic AI

The rapid deployment of AI across government missions—spanning mission planning, citizen services, intelligence workflows, and secure automation—has heightened concerns around agentic AI autonomy. AI agents inherently access data, invoke tools, and execute decisions across environments, exposing risks that traditional security models fail to mitigate effectively at runtime. These include potential data exposure, credential misuse, unauthorized actions, and uncontrolled access paths. Zenity’s platform is designed specifically to close these gaps through targeted governance and protection.

Partnership Accelerating FedRAMP Authorization

To expedite its path to federal authorization, Zenity is leveraging Knox Systems’ precertified platform and Authority to Operate (ATO) process. This collaboration streamlines compliance requirements while ensuring Zenity meets the stringent security, compliance, and operational standards demanded by federal organizations. “Achieving FedRAMP ‘In Process’ status is a significant milestone for Zenity and the broader federal community,” said Ben Kliger, CEO and co-founder, Zenity. “Government agencies need confidence that their AI deployments can be secured and governed at scale. We are fully committed to meeting the stringent security, compliance, and operational requirements that federal organizations demand while delivering the visibility and control that federal agencies need to secure AI agents.”

Comprehensive AI Agent Governance and Protection

Zenity equips organizations with full lifecycle coverage for AI agents across SaaS, cloud-native, and endpoint environments. Key capabilities include continuous discovery and inventory of AI agents, posture management, real-time detection and inline prevention of risky behaviors, and governance compliance reporting. By focusing on agent-centric security—monitoring behavior, data access, and tool invocations—Zenity eliminates blind spots and enforces consistent policies across diverse environments. This approach supports agencies in aligning with evolving risk frameworks while enabling secure AI innovation.

Zenity’s FedRAMP progress marks a key step in bringing purpose-built AI agent security to government and regulated sectors. With authorization expected in upcoming cycles, the platform will empower federal customers to adopt AI confidently through approved procurement channels, while inviting partnerships from distributors, resellers, and systems integrators to deliver secure AI governance at scale.
