Zenity
Also known as: Zenity Observe, Zenity Govern, Zenity Defend
Security and governance platform for enterprise AI agents: inventory and execution analysis across SaaS, cloud, endpoint and coding agents, posture checks before go-live, runtime Boundaries that allow, block or shut down agent actions, an Evaluate API and OpenTelemetry for custom agents, and Blue Agent for finding triage with human approval. SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001.
Zenity is a security and governance platform for the AI agents an enterprise builds and uses. It keeps a live inventory of agents across SaaS platforms, custom and cloud builds, and endpoint and coding agents, and analyzes their execution paths, tool invocations, memory updates, decision flows, RAG queries and file access.
Its capabilities span AI observability, AI security posture management (agent configuration and permissions checked against policy before an agent goes live), exposure management (identity, data and behavior signals correlated into attack paths, with each issue scored 0 to 100), agentic identity and access management, MCP security, and AI detection and response.
Runtime Boundaries evaluate every agent action in real time against the organization's rules and let it through, block it or shut the agent down, in prevention or detection mode, starting from a library of prebuilt rules; a rule written once applies across Copilot, ChatGPT Enterprise, Agentforce, Bedrock, coding agents and homegrown builds. Custom agents connect through OpenTelemetry for visibility and the Evaluate API for inline enforcement.
Blue Agent, the first of Zenity's Guardian Agents, triages findings and suggests a verdict with its reasoning, and nothing is applied without a human's approval. Zenity holds SOC 2 Type II, ISO 27001 and ISO 27701, supports SSO, and is in process for FedRAMP.

Integrations
Covers Microsoft Copilot Studio, Microsoft 365 Copilot, Power Platform, Salesforce Agentforce, AWS Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, Google Vertex AI, ChatGPT Enterprise, Claude Enterprise and ServiceNow, and since August 2026 GitHub Copilot, OpenAI Codex, Microsoft Foundry and Agent 365, plus any agent emitting OpenTelemetry or gen_ai spans. Custom agents call the Evaluate API for inline enforcement. The docs list a CrowdStrike Falcon SIEM integration, and Zenity is available in AWS Security Hub Extended.
In practice
A security team gets a live inventory of the Copilot Studio, Agentforce and Bedrock agents across the company, with identity, data and behavior signals correlated into attack paths scored by how reachable they are.
A custom agent calls Zenity's Evaluate API before it acts, and Boundaries let the action through, block it or shut the agent down in real time.
Blue Agent triages a new finding in suggest mode and proposes a fix, and nothing is applied until an analyst approves it.

Surface, Enforce and Protect run as a fixed product pipeline, and one Guardian Agent is live, Blue Agent, a triage assistant that works in several steps. There is no coordination among several agents and no flow the customer configures. The Clarity and Correlation agents from earlier descriptions no longer appear.

The customer's agents are analyzed in context: execution paths, tool invocations and memory updates, along with decision flows, RAG queries and file access. Each agent has an activity record, and spans from custom agents come in through OpenTelemetry, so every tool call the customer's agents make is on record.

Blue Agent's triage guidelines are generated at onboarding and persist for the organization, and the agent suggests revisions when it sees a need.

Commercial customers get SaaS on AWS. A federal deployment inside Knox Systems' platform is in process for FedRAMP, a second environment not yet authorized. There is no region list or option to host in the customer's own environment. Encryption keys the customer manages protect data but do not set where it lives, and the agent platforms Zenity covers are not where it is hosted.

Product updates
Zenity now supports tool call validation in Anthropic's Inference Hooks for Claude Enterprise, so each tool call Claude proposes is held for an allow or deny verdict from Zenity before it runs. Zenity Boundaries can block write, delete and execute operations, calls to MCP servers outside a reviewed list, and actions traced to prompt injection, with one configuration covering claude.ai, Cowork, Claude Code, Claude in Chrome, Claude for Microsoft 365 and Claude Tag. Nothing is installed on endpoints, and customers ask their account team to turn on enforcement.

AWS Marketplace (Security Hub Extended): Observability at $130 per resource per month, plus Runtime Protection at $16 and Guardrails for AWS at $2 per million tokens per month.
Per monitored resource per month for observability, plus per million tokens for runtime protection and guardrails (AWS Security Hub Extended); private-offer contracts otherwise.
What is public
The AWS Security Hub Extended listing publishes three usage dimensions (Observability $130 per resource per month; Runtime Protection $16 per million tokens per month; Guardrails for AWS $2 per million tokens per month), cancel any time, with a 30-day free trial. The main AWS Marketplace listing is a private-offer placeholder and the vendor site shows no prices.
Variable cost rationale
Charges scale with the number of monitored resources and with token volume through runtime protection and guardrails, with no cap on the usage listing.
Sales call required
Mixed (some tiers require a call)

Lowest paid plan
Observability, $130 per resource per month (AWS Marketplace, Security Hub Extended).
Key ambiguities
The listing does not define a resource, and whether the Security Hub Extended rates match private-offer pricing for the full platform is not stated.
