Zenity has announced the general availability of runtime security controls for AI agents developed on Microsoft Foundry, strengthening its expanded partnership with Microsoft. Building on inline prevention capabilities introduced earlier, this integration enables enterprises to deploy and scale autonomous agents securely by enforcing real-time protection directly in the execution path.

  • Zenity provides end-to-end runtime coverage for agents on Microsoft Foundry, securing models, tools, data flows, and enterprise system interactions.
  • Delivers inline prevention against key runtime threats including sensitive data leakage, secret and credential exposure, jailbreak attempts, and emerging tool misuse risks.
  • Applies agent-aware behavioral enforcement that evaluates chained decisions and actions in context, rather than relying on isolated prompt-level or post-execution checks.
  • Integrates natively into the Foundry agent execution path to detect, disrupt, and block threats before data moves, tools execute, or systems are impacted.
  • Supports production-scale adoption across IT operations, customer support, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and public sector use cases connecting to SharePoint, OneDrive, databases, SaaS platforms, and internal APIs.
  • Enables organizations to shift from experimentation to confident production deployment by eliminating blind spots and enforcing consistent security policy across agent behaviors and access.

As enterprises accelerate from AI experimentation to production, risks have shifted from model development to real-time agent execution. Autonomous agents now make decisions, chain actions, and invoke tools across sensitive enterprise resources, introducing dynamic threats that traditional prompt guards or after-the-fact monitoring cannot adequately address.

Zenity’s runtime security embeds directly into the Microsoft Foundry agent lifecycle, providing continuous, inline safeguards that understand agentic intent and behavior. This approach blocks misuse in real time—preventing data exfiltration, credential compromise, jailbreaks, and unauthorized tool actions—while preserving business velocity.

“With agents, risks emerge and persist at runtime,” said Michael Bargury, CTO and co-founder of Zenity. “This expanded partnership with Microsoft allows customers to build and run AI agents in production with confidence, with capabilities that block agent misuse in real-time, before data moves or tools execute.”

“Inline security only works if it’s part of the execution path,” Bargury added. “Zenity integrates where agents actually operate, ensuring that autonomy doesn’t come at the cost of security or compliance.”

Organizations building agents on Microsoft Foundry can access Zenity’s runtime security capabilities through the Azure Marketplace listing.

About Zenity

Zenity is the first security and governance platform purpose-built for AI agents - spanning SaaS, home grown platforms (Cloud), and end-user devices (Endpoint). Trusted by Fortune 500 enterprises, Zenity helps security teams confidently adopt AI by delivering defense in depth with full-lifecycle coverage: from agent discovery and posture management to real-time detection, inline prevention, and response. With an agent-centric approach that prioritizes how agents behave, what they access, and which tools they invoke, Zenity eliminates blind spots and enforces consistent policy and controls across environments so organizations can innovate with AI, without compromising security.
