Saviynt says it enables AI builders to implement security into agents and apps as they build. Saviynt says it evaluates intent and context for every request at runtime so that agents do not work outside their intended scope.[1]

Zuma is organised into Zuma Insights, Zuma Access and Zuma Governance. Zuma Insights automatically discovers every AI agent, tool, MCP server and NHI across an ecosystem. Zuma Insights includes an access map that traces the path an AI agent or NHI takes to reach critical apps, data and tools. Zuma Insights includes a timeline view that keeps a record of every AI agent and NHI action and activity.
