Audience
Security, identity, and IT teams seeking to govern AI-agent access with inventory, ownership, risk analysis, just-in-time decisions, and least-privilege enforcement
About Opal Zero
Opal Zero is a just-in-time access governance platform for AI agents that inventories every agent, maps it to an accountable owner, decides each access request, and enforces the decision in the MCP gateway already in place. It gives organizations one inventory across identity providers and AI platforms such as Okta, Entra, Anthropic, OpenAI, Bedrock AgentCore, and Cursor, showing what every agent can access and who owns it. Risk Center surfaces access that is off-purpose, unowned, or standing and routes issues to the appropriate owner with an inline fix. Paladin evaluates requests using policy and context, identifies the least-privileged path, respects owner boundaries, and shows the reasoning behind each decision. Policy Insights uses real agent behavior to identify unused access and opportunities to improve access policy instead of relying on one-off remediation. Gateway Enforcement writes approved decisions as scoped, time-bound policy into existing gateways.

Opal Security
Opal Security is an identity governance platform designed to control access across human users, AI agents, applications, service accounts, and infrastructure. The platform provides a centralized governance layer for evaluating access requests, enforcing policy, reviewing entitlements, and managing privileged access. Its Paladin AI can assess requests, evaluate risk, recommend or make decisions, and escalate cases to human reviewers while showing the reasoning behind each action. Opal supports just-in-time access that can be granted only when needed and automatically revoked when the work is complete. AI-assisted access reviews analyze entitlements and supporting evidence to recommend approval or removal decisions with an auditable record. The platform can be deployed in Opal’s cloud, a customer-managed environment, virtual machines, or Kubernetes, with searchable logs for access changes and administrative activity.

The platform can enforce authentication, authorization, least-privilege access, PII redaction, rate limits, spending controls, and audit logging across AI traffic. Gravitee also provides visibility into agent behavior, token consumption, dependencies, costs, and usage patterns so organizations can identify shadow AI and unmonitored workloads. Beyond AI governance, the platform manages APIs and event streams, including REST, GraphQL, gRPC, Kafka, and related enterprise integration patterns. Gravitee is designed for organizations that want a unified control layer for AI agents, APIs, events, and model access.
