Zenity is positioned as a security platform built specifically for autonomous AI, covering the full agent lifecycle from development and deployment to runtime. Its coverage spans discovery and inventory of AI agents across an organization, mapping their exposure to find high-risk agents and attack paths, and continuous detection and investigation of agent activity. Beyond detection, Zenity analyzes agent intent, behavior, access rights and actions to identify operational risks and control access rights and usage scope.
The Respond layer aims to let security teams understand incidents as they happen, contain threats, and respond to suspicious or deviating agent behavior, with automated containment minimizing the damage footprint and feeding root causes back as new security boundaries to prevent repeat abuse.
Tokyo Electron Device says it supports both the promotion of business transformation through AI use and safe operation of that AI, and it will contribute to solving AI agent security and governance issues through providing Zenity along with deployment and validation support and technical support.
