Ory Launches Agent Security, the First Agent IAM Control Plane for Enterprise AI

Ory has introduced Ory Agent Security, an innovative IAM control plane designed to secure AI agents at the point of action, addressing a critical gap in traditional security measures that focus on perimeter defenses. This system incorporates identity, authorization, and governance controls directly into the agent harness, allowing organizations to evaluate and enforce policies before actions are executed. This approach is crucial as AI agents increasingly perform essential tasks, access sensitive data, and interact with business systems. Unlike conventional methods that concentrate on gateways or credentials, Ory Agent Security evaluates authorization decisions within the agent harness, ensuring precise control over agent actions. It offers a flexible framework for applying security policies, monitoring agent interactions, and capturing audit trails, helping organizations manage AI security risks associated with unauthorized tool usage and excessive permissions. As AI agents become integral to enterprise workflows, Ory's solution supports trust and accountability, providing a consistent security layer that operates independently of the underlying model or transport mechanism.
