Executive Summary

Zenity sells a platform that discovers, hardens, and monitors the AI agents employees build across enterprise services, and its own research lab keeps proving the problem is real. Independent reporting from The Register, CSO Online, and Dark Reading has documented its researchers taking over enterprise AI agents on Microsoft, Salesforce, and Google platforms with zero-click and one-click exploits. ServiceNow embeds Zenity controls natively in its security operations product and AWS lists Zenity among curated AI partners, yet its published customer references are anonymized. The tension that defines Zenity is Microsoft. Its venture arm invested in the company, its Copilot and Power Platform are surfaces Zenity protects, and it could ship native controls for them.
