The cybersecurity landscape is undergoing a transformation with the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML). To address the challenges introduced by AI agents, Astrix has introduced its Agent Control Plane (ACP), the industry's first solution for secure-by-design AI agent deployment. ACP enables organizations to discover every AI agent and NHI, secure excessive privileges and real-time threats, and deploy agentic AI safely with secure-by-design guardrails.

The cybersecurity landscape has undergone a significant transformation in recent years, with the rapid growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) transforming industries and redefining business operations. However, as AI agents become increasingly integrated into enterprise workflows, they also introduce new security risks that traditional identity and access management (IAM) systems cannot address. The proliferation of AI agents has created a blind spot in cybersecurity, with the latest studies revealing that 80% of companies have already experienced unintended AI agent actions, from unauthorized system access to data leaks.
To address this challenge, a new approach is needed—one that enables secure-by-design AI agent deployment across the enterprise. Enter Astrix's Agent Control Plane (ACP), the industry's first solution designed to deploy secure-by-design AI agents across the enterprise. With ACP, every AI agent receives short-lived, precisely scoped credentials and just-in-time access based on least privilege principles, eliminating access chaos and reducing compliance risk.
The development of ACP is a response to the limitations of traditional IAM systems, which were designed for human identities but cannot keep pace with the rapid growth of AI agents. Traditional IAM systems rely on non-human identities (NHIs) that are difficult to manage and track, making it challenging to establish clear ownership and tracked activity trails. This lack of visibility and control creates a risk of unauthorized access, data leaks, and other security breaches.
Astrix's ACP addresses this challenge by providing a centralized platform for managing AI agents, ensuring that every agent action is governed and easy to validate. With ACP, security administrators can create granular, least-privilege permission profiles tailored to specific AI agent use cases, deploy agents from their preferred tools, and centralize control over the entire agent inventory.
The core benefits of ACP include:
1. Audits are fast and predictable – Clear ownership and tracked activity trails ensure every agent action is governed and easy to validate.
2. Secure access for AI agents – Least-privilege, just-in-time credentials from day one keep access tight and risk low.
3. Developer productivity – Policy-driven, pre-approved access lets developers spin up agents quickly, with streamlined approvals to cut delays and keep work moving.
The ACP framework enables organizations to discover every AI agent and NHI, secure excessive privileges and real-time threats, and deploy agentic AI safely with secure-by-design guardrails like just-in-time access. This framework helps ensure that organizations can unlock the full value of agentic AI without introducing uncontrolled risk.
To adopt an ACP, security teams must be able to centralize control over every agent, every permission, and every action. Instant revoke is also possible, with evidence on demand. Developers can leverage a straightforward API or CLI to request policy-compliant access, while guardrails keep velocity high and risk low for leadership.
The introduction of ACP marks a significant milestone in the evolution of enterprise security, as it delivers the industry's first end-to-end enterprise solution for AI agent security. With Astrix's Discover–Secure–Deploy framework, organizations can gain visibility, establish security guardrails, and confidently deploy agents at scale.
