Astrix Security: NHI Governance & AI Agent Control Plane

Astrix Security is the leading platform for discovering, securing, and deploying non-human identities (NHIs) and AI agents across enterprise environments. As AI agents proliferate — outnumbering human employees 100:1 in many organizations — traditional IAM tools fall short. Astrix closes that gap with a unified Discover → Secure → Deploy framework and its AI Agent Control Plane (ACP).

Recognized by Gartner in the 2026 Emerging Tech Impact Radar as a sample vendor for IAM for AI Agents, and named to the Fortune Cyber 60 list, Astrix is used by enterprises including Netflix, Google, and Workday. Cisco announced its intent to acquire Astrix on May 4, 2026, with plans to integrate the technology into Cisco Identity Intelligence, Secure Access, Duo, and Splunk.

Discover

• Continuous visibility into every AI agent and associated NHI — API keys, service accounts, secrets, OAuth tokens
• Discovery across SaaS-to-SaaS communication, cloud platforms, and on-prem infrastructure
• Finds ungoverned agents that predate your governance program

Secure

• Identify and remediate excessive privileges, vulnerable configurations, and abnormal activity
• Agentic Threat Detection & Response (ADR™) — detects compromised credentials and out-of-scope agent actions in real time
• Agent Policies: allow, flag, and block rules scoped by user, department, platform, and resource type, evaluated before an action executes

Deploy

• Secure-by-design agent deployment with Zero Trust access policies
• Just-in-time (short-lived) credentials with complete audit trails
• Each agent operates with least-privilege, precisely scoped access

• Your organization has more AI agents and service accounts than human users
• You need visibility into SaaS-to-SaaS connections and third-party OAuth grants
• Security teams require enforcement controls, not just posture reporting
• You are deploying autonomous AI agents that make independent decisions and need governed access
• Compliance requires audit trails for every agent action

• Small teams with a handful of API keys (secrets managers like Vault or Doppler suffice)
• You need developer-native SDLC secret scanning (GitGuardian is stronger there)
• You want agent runtime governance (enforcement per-action) rather than posture management — consider layering with Praesidia or Strata Maverics
