Check out PlainID’s ALL NEW Agentic Identity Platform

AI agents are acting across your systems. Most security tools weren’t built to control them.

Authentication verifies identity. But it doesn’t control what agents access, do, or expose. What will you do when:

Agents still operate with

standing permissions and tokens?

Sensitive data is retrieved and exposed

without context-aware control?

Security stops at identity, leaving

prompt, data, tools, and output ungoverned?

The AI security market is fragmented and incomplete

Most organizations are trying to secure AI using tools that were never designed for it. As a result, there’s no single layer that actually controls what AI agents do end-to-end.

Frame

Legacy IAM & Hyperscalers

Extend identity, but cannot enforce runtime authorization across the AI flow

Frame 1

Authorization-first tools

Provide policy engines, but lack enterprise lifecycle and AI guardrails

Frame

AI security startups

Focus on narrow risks, but don’t control the full runtime flow

Frame 1

Homegrown frameworks

Add flexibility, but fail to scale, govern, or audit securely

Why PlainID Is Different for Agentic AI

Discover why Fortune 500 enterprises trust PlainID to securely scale agentic AI systems:

Capability area
Other security tools’ AI security points solutions
AI & Data Flow Coverage

Data/API retrieval layer only; lacks native prompt or output guardrails

True end-to-end control across the AI flow: Prompt → Data → Tools → Output

Authorization Lifecycle

Fragmented tools (FGA, Token Vault, Identity Engine); developer-managed

Full lifecycle: Discover → Manage → Authorize centrally

Decision Enforcement

Static, relationship-based ReBAC (tuples) and machine tokens

Real-time, dynamic authorization driven by context and intent (ZSP/JIT)

Identity &
Accountability

Treats agents as human identities within traditional workforce directories

Every action tied to human & agent identities, with clear ownership and scope

Prevention Model

Relies on token storage and pre-retrieval filtering; no output masking

Proactive enforcement before data is retrieved or exposed, with built-in output masking

Audit & Explainability

Technical API logs meant for developers

The only solution with business-readable authorization decisions + full audit trail

Control the entire AI flow

From input to output, every decision is enforced. PlainID applies authorization at every control point, blocking unauthorized intent at the prompt level, filtering sensitive data before it is retrieved, governing which tools and MCP actions can be executed, and masking or controlling what is ultimately exposed in the output. Nothing is accessed, used, or exposed without policy enforcement.

Built for Agentic AI Reality

PlainID’s Agentic Identity Platform offers a layer that traditional IAM doesn’t cover. It is designed for how AI agents actually operate, which is continuously, dynamically, and across systems:

  • Runtime authorization across every decision
  • Identity, data and intent are continuously evaluated together
  • Human and non-human identities (like AI agents) are binded together
  • Zero Standing Privileges for enforced authorization

Real Control Requires Full-Stack Enforcement

Most AI security startups are built to control prompts, detect risks, or filter outputs, but AI agents don’t operate in isolation. PlainID enforces control across the entire system:

  • Governs access across AI, apps, APIs, and data
  • Applies policy enforcement before, during, and after every action
  • Provides a single control plane instead of fragmented tools

Enterprise-Grade Runtime Authorization

PlainID has been operating since 2014, and is proven at scale in the world’s most demanding environments:

  • Trusted by Fortune 500 enterprises
  • 35M+ identities managed globally
  • 99.99% uptime SLA
  • Recognized by Gartner and KuppingerCole

Through 2028, at least 80% of unauthorized AI agent transactions will stem from internal policy violations (oversharing, unacceptable use) rather than external malicious attacks.

Get control over your AI agents without replacing your IAM

You don’t need to replace your IAM stack. But you can extend it and control what happens after authentication.

PlainID integrates with your environment to:

 

  • Add runtime authorization across AI, APIs, and data
  • Eliminate standing privilege risk
  • Centralize policy control across systems
