Exabeam Agent Behavior Analytics
Exabeam Agent Behavior Analytics (ABA) is the first security capability designed to monitor and detect the behavior of AI agents operating inside the enterprise. As organizations adopt tools like ChatGPT, Microsoft Copilot, and Google Gemini, traditional security controls lose visibility once valid access is granted.
Unlike traditional threat detection, which relies on static rules and known indicators, Exabeam ABA builds dynamic behavioral baselines and profiles for both human users and AI agents. It then detects deviations across prompts, API activity, tool usage, data access, and privilege changes. This enables security teams to identify misuse, compromised accounts, prompt abuse, and insider threats operating with legitimate credentials. The April 2026 update expands visibility across leading AI platforms and adds coverage aligned to the OWASP Top 10 for Agentic AI.
Designed for enterprise SOC teams, MSSPs, and organizations rapidly adopting AI, Exabeam ABA enables secure, governed AI adoption without sacrificing visibility or control.

GenAI data protection prevents exposure across managed and unmanaged tools, while real-time cloud visibility surfaces cloud data risk. Unified platform context evaluates data threats alongside endpoint, identity, and cloud activity, giving teams user, device, and access context in a single console to correlate, prioritize, and stop threats faster. Automated enforcement blocks risky data movement at endpoint egress, prevents unauthorized access in SaaS applications, and automates cloud data response actions through unified SOAR workflows.
Drata Agentic TPRM Assessment
Agentic TPRM Assessment brings AI-assisted analysis directly into third-party risk management workflows while keeping security teams fully in control of the review process. Instead of relying solely on questionnaires or vendor self-attestations, Drata analyzes real vendor security documentation and evaluates that evidence against structured assessment criteria defined by the organization. Security teams review the findings, validate the analysis, and make the final risk decision.
This approach helps organizations complete vendor assessments faster while maintaining oversight and accountability. The result is higher-quality analysis and more defensible risk decisions. By working closely with its customers as enterprise design partners, Drata was able to build the TPRM Agent with direct input from organizations managing complex, large-scale vendor risk programs — ensuring real-world pain points like scalability, workflow fragmentation, and audit readiness were addressed from day one.

Security—Identity And Access Management
1Password Unified Access
Most organizations aren’t prepared for what happens after AI agents log in. Unlike human access, which is authenticated once, agents use credentials continuously, operating across devices, tools, and workflows that often sit outside the visibility of traditional identity systems. The result is a growing gap between where access is granted and where it’s actually used.
1Password Unified Access is a new agent security platform, providing a centralized control plane to govern access across human, AI agent, and machine identities, enforcing security at the point of use, not just at login. Built on a “discover, secure, audit” model, it enables teams to uncover agent activity, secure and govern credentials in a unified vault, and gain visibility into how access is used over time. Designed for businesses of all sizes, Unified Access integrates into developer tools and workflows, creating new opportunities for partners to deliver modern identity security as customers adopt AI.
CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security
CrowdStrike Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security protects every identity – human, non-human, and AI agent – across hybrid environments. It unifies initial access prevention, phishing-resistant MFA, privileged access management, identity threat detection and response, SaaS identity security, and agentic identity protection in a single unified platform.
As AI agents transform how work gets done, operating with superhuman speed and access, Falcon Identity Security accelerates the shift from fragmented, static access controls to continuous, risk-aware authorization. Powered by real-time Falcon platform intelligence and risk signals, CrowdStrike continuously evaluates identity, device, and behavior to dynamically grant, deny, or revoke access as conditions change, eliminating standing privilege access across every identity and environment.
CrowdStrike’s ability to secure both human and agentic identities wherever they exist is rapidly turning Falcon Next-Gen Identity Security into the identity security control plane of the agentic enterprise.
Delinea Platform With Iris AI
AI agents are being deployed across enterprise environments faster than security teams can track them, creating a new class of privileged identity with no consistent oversight. Delinea Iris AI is the AI engine built into the Delinea Platform that gives security teams the visibility and control to address this directly.
