With the rapid adoption of AI across government missions, from mission planning and citizen services to intelligence workflows and secure automation, agencies are grappling with the risks stemming from agentic AI autonomy. AI agents, by design, access data, invoke tools and make decisions across environments. Traditional security models are not built to address the risks that emerge at runtime, including data exposure, credential misuse, unauthorized actions and uncontrolled access paths.
“Achieving FedRAMP ‘In Process’ status is a significant milestone for Zenity and the broader federal community,” said Ben Kliger, CEO and co-founder, Zenity. “Government agencies need confidence that their AI deployments can be secured and governed at scale. We are fully committed to meeting the stringent security, compliance, and operational requirements that federal organizations demand while delivering the visibility and control that federal agencies need to secure AI agents.”
To streamline its FedRAMP journey, Zenity is pursuing authorization by deploying within Knox Systems’ precertified platform as part of Knox’s Authority to Operate (ATO).
As agencies evaluate AI risk frameworks, including NIST guidelines, OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications and executive directives focused on secure AI adoption, they need greater visibility and control over AI agents. Zenity’s pending FedRAMP authorization equips federal customers with a platform for continuous AI agent discovery and inventory, posture management, runtime detection and prevention and governance compliance reporting.
