## Meet Agent Governance

AI agents are scaling faster than most enterprises can govern them. Every AI platform governs its own agents in isolation, leaving security and compliance teams with fragmented visibility, inconsistent controls, and no unified audit trail.

Agent Governance fixes that. Whether agents live on Microsoft Copilot Studio, AWS Bedrock and AgentCore, Azure AI Foundry, Google Vertex, Salesforce Agentforce, or even a home-grown platform, it extends Ping’s identity governance capabilities so that AI agents are discoverable, classifiable, governed, auditable, and owned by a human.

No matter where your agents are, Agent Governance treats them like first-class identities alongside humans and machines.

## How It Works

Agent Governance continuously discovers agents across major AI platforms and automatically brings them into governance workflows. Once discovered, each agent is:

- Automatically classified and onboarded
- Assigned an accountable human custodian
- Mapped to its tools, knowledge bases, and permissions
- Continuously monitored for risky behavior

Activity collectors normalize behavior across platforms so you can detect anomalies, risky access, and policy violations before they become incidents.


## With Agent Governance, You Can:

Automatically discover, classify, and onboard every agent and MCP server across Bedrock, Azure AI Foundry, Copilot Studio, Vertex, Agentforce, and others.

Assign every agent a human custodian who’s responsible for certifications, approvals, and governance.

Visualize what each agent can access, what tools it uses, and how far compromise could spread.

Enforce zero standing privilege for agents with just-in-time access requests and temporal constraints.

Detect outliers based on anomalous behavior, risky entitlements, and suspicious agent activity in real time.

## Part of the Ping Identity Platform

Governing your humans, machines, and AI agents shouldn't require stitching together a dozen different tools. Agent Governance unifies humans and agents in a single registry, lifecycle, and IGA platform. We provide the industry's most comprehensive identity platform, combining identity verification, authentication, authorization, identity governance, privileged access, and agent-aware controls in one place. Here’s what sets us apart:

- All-in-one identity platform with unmatched reliability
- Trusted globally, built for enterprise scale
- Easy to use, easier to integrate, evolves with your needs

## Agent Access at Enterprise Scale

Bring order to the agentic explosion. Agent Governance helps enterprises scale AI adoption safely without creating invisible risk. Instead of fragmented governance across every hyperscaler and platform, you get one centralized control point for the entire agent ecosystem.

- Centralize agentic control across AWS, Azure, Google, Salesforce, and custom environments from one pane of glass.
- Unify human, machine, and agent identity into a consolidated registry and identity lifecycle.
- Normalize and correlate cross-platform agent activity to detect suspicious activity and emerging risks at scale.

### Stop Agent Sprawl and Shadow AI

Inventory every AI agent operating across your enterprise so security teams always know what exists, who owns it, and what it can access.

### Make Every Agent Accountable

Assign every agent a human custodian, so security and compliance teams can always answer "who allowed this agent to access this resource?" and "show me this agent's access history."

### Detect Risky Agent Behavior Early

Spot outlier agents, anomalous activity, and risky entitlements in real time so security teams can intervene before a breach or audit finding.

### Eliminate Standing Privilege for Agents

Apply temporal constraints and continuous certification so that excessive, risky, or stale agent access doesn’t hurt audits or become tomorrow’s breach.

### Close the Audit and Compliance Gap

Give auditors a clean, unified trail of agent access, behavior, permissions, and governance controls across platforms.

Govern Every Agent in Your Enterprise

Bring every AI agent into a single registry where they're discovered, classified, owned, certified, and audited, right alongside your humans and machines.
