Skyflow for AI Agent Security: Features, Pricing, and Alternatives
Blog post from WorkOS
Skyflow is an API-first data privacy vault that uses tokenization and polymorphic encryption to protect sensitive customer data, primarily serving regulated industries such as fintech, healthcare, and enterprise SaaS, with compliance to standards like GDPR, HIPAA, PCI DSS, and CCPA. It launched its Agentic AI Security and Privacy Layer in 2024 and the MCP Data Protection Layer in 2025 to secure AI-agent workflows. Skyflow's platform features a zero-trust architecture that allows operations on encrypted data without decryption, supports fine-grained access controls, and logs all access for audit purposes. While Skyflow excels in data privacy, providing secure data operations without exposing raw data, it lacks comprehensive authentication features such as SSO, Directory Sync, and MFA, which are offered by platforms like WorkOS. WorkOS provides a full authentication suite essential for enterprise AI applications, including robust single sign-on, directory synchronization, and multi-factor authentication, ensuring a comprehensive security solution. Organizations often begin with Skyflow through consultations and free trials to test its data protection capabilities, while WorkOS is positioned as the trusted choice for production-ready authentication in enterprise AI applications.
