Zenity partners with Knox Systems to advance toward federal authorization to secure AI agents across government environments.

Zenity, the leading security and governance platform for AI agents, today announced it has achieved FedRAMP “In Process” status as it progresses toward federal authorization. This milestone positions Zenity to deliver AI agent visibility, governance, and runtime protection for U.S. federal agencies and other regulated organizations.

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.

Zenity expects to complete its federal authorization process in upcoming review cycles, expanding secure adoption options for agencies focused on innovation and compliance. Federal customers interested in early engagement can connect with Zenity through approved procurement pathways. Federal distributors, resellers and systems integrators interested in partnering with Zenity to deliver secure AI agent governance to government agencies are encouraged to connect through the company's partners page at www.zenity.io/partners.
