Astrix Security Announces the First AI Agent Control Plane (ACP) for Secure-by-Design Agent Deployment
Saturday, September 20, 2025
ACP completes Astrix's end-to-end AI agent security platform -- enabling enterprises to discover, secure, and deploy AI agents responsibly at scale.
NEW YORK, Sept. 16, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Astrix Security, the leader in AI Agent and Non-Human Identity (NHI) security, today announced the launch of the AI 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.
"Agentic threats are no longer theoretical. Recent studies show 80% of companies have already experienced unintended AI agent actions, from unauthorized system access to data leaks," said Alon Jackson, Astrix co-founder and CEO. "Our mission has always been to help organizations boost productivity and adopt the latest technology responsibly. We listen to our customers and act on this mission by launching ACP today. With ACP, we are giving enterprises the missing piece of the agent security puzzle. Our Discover-Secure-Deploy framework ensures customers can unlock the full value of agentic AI -- without introducing uncontrolled risk."
Astrix customers already rely on the platform to discover and inventory shadow AI agents and enforce security guardrails to prevent policy violations and out-of-scope actions. With ACP, they can now expand to secure deployment of AI agents. The complete Discover-Secure-Deploy framework prepares enterprises for large-scale adoption of agentic AI with a unified, responsible approach -- whether agents are homegrown, third-party, or unmanaged "shadow" deployments.
"As OWASP stated clearly: 'NHIs play a key role in agentic AI security' since they define precisely what your AI agents can and cannot do," said Idan Gour, Astrix co-founder and CTO. "To secure agents, you must start with access. And to secure access, you must secure their NHIs. There's no way around it. Since 2021, Astrix has pioneered and defined NHI security -- helping Fortune 1000 enterprises extend traditional IAM to cover NHIs. Astrix combines deep expertise in NHIs with advanced AI platform monitoring to surface shadow agents and flag access or behavioral risks -- like no one else. Backed by deep research, real-world experience, and mature technology, Astrix is uniquely positioned to secure AI agents better than any other solution."
ACP: Deploy Secure-by-Design AI Agents
ACP delivers three core benefits:
1. Audits 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 keeps 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 working.
How it works:
-- Pre-define policies: Security admins create granular, least-privilege
permission profiles tailored to specific AI agent use cases.
-- Deploy agents: Developers launch AI agents from their preferred tools,
applying the appropriate pre-approved permission profile.
-- Centralized control: Once deployed, every agent is visible in Astrix's
inventory with its policies attached, enabling real-time monitoring,
management, and adjustments.
The Full Framework: Discover - Secure - Deploy
With ACP, Astrix now delivers the industry's first enterprise complete solution for AI agent security:
-- Discover: Gain visibility into every AI agent along with its associated
NHIs and machine credentials -- including API keys, service accounts,
secrets, and more.
-- Secure: Identify and remediate excessive privileges, vulnerable
configurations, abnormal activity, and policy violations.Deploy: Safely
roll out secure-by-design AI agents with Zero Trust access policies,
just-in-time credentials, and audit trails enforced through ACP.
About Astrix Security
Astrix secures the full lifecycle of AI agents and NHIs -- the fastest-growing identity category, outnumbering employees 100:1. With 99% of these identities sitting outside traditional IAM and audit cycles, enterprises face a massive blind spot exploited in recent breaches at Microsoft, Salesforce, Okta, and even the US Treasury Department. Astrix extends IAM to cover this modern attack surface, providing unified discovery, continuous security, and safe deployment of AI agents with secure-by-design guardrails. Trusted by global enterprises including Workday, NetApp, Priceline, Figma, and Agoda, Astrix is redefining how organizations embrace agentic AI securely.
Founded by Alon Jackson (CEO) and Idan Gour (CTO), Astrix combines deep expertise in identity, security, and AI to pioneer the next generation of enterprise defenses. Since its inception, the company has raised $85 million from the world's leading investors, including Menlo Ventures, CRV, Anthropic, Bessemer Venture Partners, Workday Ventures, and F2, to accelerate its mission of securing the agentic era. Astrix's leadership and innovation have been recognized as a Notable Rising in Cyber Company, a Gartner Cool Vendor for Identity-First Security, and a finalist in the RSA Innovation Sandbox.
