AI security startup Zenity has been named a Market Shaper in Gartner's inaugural Emerging Market Quadrant for AI Application Security, Startup Vendors. Deploying an AI agent security platform allows enterprise security teams to govern autonomous workflows, secure non-human identities, and block malicious actions executed by software agents. By evaluating emerging startup vendors across the cybersecurity landscape, Gartner's report highlights Zenity's innovative approach to protecting corporate data ecosystems as companies rapidly integrate generative artificial intelligence tools and autonomous co-pilots into daily operational routines.
The industry recognition addresses an urgent security gap created by the rapid adoption of AI agents across global enterprises. While traditional application security tools focus on static code vulnerabilities and prompt injection filters, autonomous AI systems introduce complex operational risks by executing real-time actions across corporate applications, codebases, and databases. Zenity addresses these modern vulnerabilities by providing complete visibility and runtime guardrails across the entire AI agent lifecycle.
Zenity solves this issue by treating agent behavior, identity context, and tool execution as interconnected security signals. The platform continuously monitors what an agent does rather than just verifying its initial access privileges. By mapping agent behavior against enterprise security policies, Zenity detects anomalous actions, prevents over-privileged API calls, and automatically neutralizes rogue software agents before security emphasizes affecting critical corporate infrastructure.
Ben Kliger, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Zenity, noted that earning recognition in Gartner's research confirms the critical necessity of securing AI actions rather than focusing solely on initial inputs. As enterprises shift from basic conversational chatbots to fully autonomous agentic workflows, implementing, action-centric security continuously guarantees that organizations can innovate safely while defending their digital assets against emerging cyber threats.

Securing Agent Actions and Managing Non-Human Identity Risks
As business teams deploy custom AI assistants, shadow agents, and automated low-code workflows, organizations experience a rapid expansion of non-human identities. Automated systems often inherit excessive API permissions, static credentials, and broad database access without continuous administrative oversight. Threat actors increasingly target these exposed credentials to bypass standard authentication controls and execute indirect prompt injections or unauthorized data exfiltration.Zenity solves this issue by treating agent behavior, identity context, and tool execution as interconnected security signals.

Establishing Continuous Governance for Enterprise Autonomous Workflows
Securing the modern connected enterprise requires unified visibility across custom-built models, enterprise platforms, and citizen developer tools. Zenity integrates directly with leading environments including Microsoft 365 Copilot, Salesforce Agentforce, Claude Enterprise, and ServiceNow to provide centralized policy enforcement without slowing down business innovation.Ben Kliger, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Zenity, noted that earning recognition in Gartner's research confirms the critical necessity of securing AI actions rather than focusing solely on initial inputs.
