SMARE — Behavioral Security & Governance for Enterprise AI Agents

    AI Agents Are Active.
    Are You Secure?

    SMARE continuously discovers enterprise AI, including Shadow AI, establishes accountability and governance, observes agent behavior in near real time, and detects policy violations and behavioral drift with supporting evidence.

    The Security Gap

    Allowed does not mean intended

    Traditional controls establish identity, access and permissions. An AI agent can use valid credentials and approved tools while still acting beyond its intended business purpose.

    Traditional security asks

    • Who can access this system?
    • What data is being accessed?
    • What security event occurred?

    The agentic question

    Is this AI agent still behaving the way it was intended to?

    Existing controls remain essential. The point is narrower: permission alone does not express business purpose.

    Visibility

    Discover what you don't know exists

    SMARE builds continuous visibility into the AI operating across your enterprise from configured and integrated sources — including Shadow AI — and the relationships between each part of it.

    Accountability & Governance

    Discovery is the beginning, not the answer

    Once AI is visible, governance turns the inventory into an accountable record.

    Accountability
    Who owns this AI asset and who is responsible for decisions?
    Organizational Policies
    What models, MCP servers, tools and other components are approved?
    Approved Design Intent
    How is this agent expected to operate?
    Telemetry Coverage
    Do we have sufficient visibility into the behavior we are governing?

    Design Intent

    Establish how the agent is intended to operate

    Design Intent is the approved expression of why an agent exists, the outcomes it may pursue, the assets and actions it may use, and the constraints it must respect. It is established and approved — not inherited from permissions, and not the same as a behavioral baseline.

    Behavioral Security

    Detect policy violations and behavioral drift

    SMARE observes agent behavior in near real time, evaluates applicable organizational policies, and identifies meaningful departures from approved behavior — then preserves the evidence behind what it finds.

    Behavioral drift
    Observed behavior meaningfully departs from approved Design Intent or the approved behavioral baseline.

    How SMARE Works

    One continuous operating model

    Collect → Correlate → Govern → Detect & Share → Continuous Assurance. Each stage feeds the next, and the loop does not stop.

    Continuous Assurance
    1. Collect

      Telemetry comes from supported AI, cloud, application, identity and security systems.

    2. Correlate

      Build agent-centric context across inventory, topology and execution.

    3. Govern

      Establish accountability, apply organizational policies, and approve Design Intent and behavioral baselines.

    4. Detect & Share

      Surface policy violations, behavioral drift and supporting evidence to supported enterprise workflows.

    The workflow is a loop, not a one-time sequence. New assets, changed topology and evolving behavior continuously update governance and security context.

    Ecosystem Position

    Complements your existing security stack

    SMARE complements the existing security stack by adding agent-centric behavioral context. It does not replace IAM, SIEM, SOAR, cloud security, observability or data security.
