Zenity launches runtime security for Microsoft Foundry

Zenity has made runtime security controls generally available for agents built on Microsoft Foundry through an expanded partnership with Microsoft. The offering is designed to deliver inline protection against runtime threats as enterprises move autonomous Artificial Intelligence agents into production.

Zenity announced the general availability of runtime security controls for Artificial Intelligence agents built on Microsoft Foundry as part of an expanded partnership with Microsoft. The company said the release extends inline prevention capabilities announced this past November and is aimed at helping enterprises deploy and scale Foundry applications and agents with continuous, inline protection against runtime threats.

The launch reflects a shift in enterprise risk as organizations move from experimentation to production. Security concerns are increasingly centered on real-time execution rather than model development, as agents make decisions, chain actions, and invoke tools across enterprise environments. Zenity positions the new controls as a response to risks that prompt-level or post-execution controls were not designed to handle.

The expanded integration provides end-to-end agent runtime coverage across models, tools, data and enterprise systems. It includes inline prevention for multiple threat classes, including sensitive data leakage, secret and credential exposure, jailbreak attempts and tool misuse (coming soon). It also adds agent-aware context and behavioral enforcement that evaluates decisions and chained actions rather than isolated prompts, with the goal of giving organizations a broader production security model instead of relying on point solutions.

Zenity said customers are building and deploying agents on Microsoft Foundry across IT operations, customer support, finance, healthcare, manufacturing, and the public sector. These agents often connect directly to enterprise resources such as SharePoint, OneDrive, databases, SaaS platforms, and internal APIs, increasing exposure when agents are misconfigured, manipulated, or abused at runtime. The company said its technology integrates natively into the agent execution path within Foundry so security teams can detect, disrupt, and prevent threats before data is exposed, tools are misused, or systems are impacted.

Organizations building agents using Microsoft Foundry can access Zenity’s listing through the Azure Marketplace. Zenity describes itself as a security and governance platform built for Artificial Intelligence agents across SaaS, home grown platforms and end-user devices, with coverage spanning discovery, posture management, real-time detection, inline prevention, and response.
