Your AI agents have keys to everything. Who's watching?

71% of enterprises say AI tools access core systems, but only 16% say that access is governed. MCP connections give agents easy reach into CRM, knowledge bases, and document management platforms — often with overly broad permissions.

We'll show you how to keep your agents in check — and what proper governance looks like.

“The AI Gateway is a major unlock for us to safely expose internal API to MCP servers as it looks to solve many of the authentication and authorization gaps left behind in the MCP design.”

— CISO, Fortune 50 Telecom

THE CONTROL GAP

Four things your existing stack cannot see.

The scope gap icon

The Scope Gap

AI agents inherit their user's full access. Authentication passes. Authorization passes. The agent calls the billing API — because the employee could, so the agent can too.

Agent Personas enforce least-privilege scope before execution

Visibility black hole icon

Visibility Black Hole

Your IdP tells you when someone logged in. It has no record of which tools the agent used, what data it read, or what it changed in the hours that followed.

Per-tool-call attribution — who, what, when, where

MCP supply chain risk icon

MCP Supply Chain Risk

3,000+ MCP servers are publicly exposed with no security vetting and no vendor accountability. Many are actively leaking API keys — and connecting to your CRM and HR systems.

100+ enterprise-vetted integrations. No untrusted community code.

Token theft and credential replay icon

Token Theft and Credential Replay

Stolen OAuth tokens aren't bound to a network or device. Attackers masquerade as legitimate agents, and traditional identity tools don't detect behavioral anomalies in API traffic.

Real-time behavioral validation and blocking.

THE VISIBILITY GAP

What your IdP sees vs. what you actually need.

When your auditor asks “who accessed patient record #12345 on Tuesday?” — your identity provider gives you a login timestamp. Cequence gives you a complete forensic trail.

SOC 2 • HIPAA • GDPR • PCI-DSS

“We couldn’t deploy AI agents until we had proper security controls. Cequence gave us the confidence to move forward — complete visibility, granular policies, and proven at scale.”
— CISO, Fortune 100 Healthcare Company
“The audit trail alone sold us. For the first time, we can answer ‘who accessed what’ for our AI agents — critical for our HIPAA compliance posture.”
— VP of Security, Financial Services
