Zenity Named in Two 2026 Gartner Hype Cycle Categories for Agentic AI
Recognition in Guardian Agents and Agentic AI Security Categories Within the Report
Zenity announced it has been named as a vendor in two categories in the Gartner® Hype Cycle™ for Agentic AI. According to Gartner, “Agentic AI security protects autonomous or semiautonomous, goal-driven AI systems by implementing dynamic controls, continuous monitoring, and adaptive access and governance.”

Zenity gives us the confidence to expand our AI deployment and build an enterprise-wide agent ecosystem that is mature, effective, and secure.
“AI agents are already embedded across the enterprise, making decisions and taking action in ways most organizations cannot see or control,” said Ben Kliger, co-founder and CEO of Zenity. “Legacy security models were built for static applications and human-driven workflows and lack the visibility and control required for autonomous agent behavior. They cannot track decision chains, enforce intent or stop agents in motion. Securing AI agents requires a new control plane built specifically for how agents operate. As organizations move from experimentation to real deployment, the need for visibility and control is becoming more urgent.” Zenity is already enabling Fortune 500 enterprises like Waste Management (WM) to operationalize secure AI agent deployments at scale.
“Zenity gives us the confidence to expand our AI deployment and build an enterprise-wide agent ecosystem that is mature, effective, and secure,” said Monica Taylor Boggan, head of business information security office, WM. “By surfacing policy violations and overprivileged access across 575,000 resources, 1,500 connectors, and more than 200 environments, Zenity gave us the visibility and control to operate governed autonomous agents at enterprise scale.”

AI agents are already operating across enterprise workflows, systems, and data. Most organizations lack visibility and control . According to Gartner’s 2026 CIO and Technology Executive Survey, 17% of organizations have deployed AI agents so far, but 42% expect to do so in the next 12 months, with another 22% within the following year. Without a purpose-built approach, security teams are left applying legacy controls to systems they were never designed to govern. That gap is where risk is accelerating.
Zenity delivers the control required to secure AI agents at scale:
- Continuous discovery of AI agents across environments
- Real-time monitoring of agent behavior and decision chains
- Runtime enforcement of policies and guardrails
- Independent governance across models, platforms and clouds.
