You want your AI agents to run fast. But as you scale, managing their permissions turns into a million micro-decisions.
Introducing Opal Zero. The end-to-end access governance platform purpose-built for AI agents.
How it works: AI-driven contextual decisions, evaluating intent, ownership, and purpose
Dynamic, just-in-time access (scoped to exactly what the agent needs). Enforces security decisions across your existing MCP gateways
0 standing permissions, 0 human toil, 0 friction
Let your agents run, safely.

You found risky agent access. What happens next?
Opal Zero brings the context and controls together: investigate permissions, assign remediation, and revoke access that’s no longer needed.

🧵For years security teams have had two major gripes with insider threat solutions: They only alert you to incidents and don’t stop them, and many alerts turn out to be false positives🤦♀️
We heard recently from a customer that departing employees were taking a "mind blowing" amount of sensitive data on their way out. It's a common problem but very difficult to solve due to the achilles heel of incomplete and inaccurate data classification. #DDR is the way forward.
We're thrilled to unveil the first insider threat product that STOPS data leaks in real time 🛑⌛@tim_keary @VentureBeat has the scoop👇

🌊Not so much leaks as floods coming from #Twitter and #Tesla this week.
@elonmusk, you might want to rethink the coded emails — there’s a better way to prevent insider threats 🧐
I spoke to @business about how companies don't even know they've suffered an insider data breach most of the time. @NYPost's recent hijacking by a rogue employee is just the tip of the iceberg for the looming insider threat crisis.

Having spent 10 years architecting, building & running the engineering team for the world’s leading endpoint security product, it was refreshing to be able to put some thoughts down on paper with the @CyberhavenInc team, especially with the tens of “agents” on corporate machines.
💡Ironclad security and team productivity shouldn’t be mutually exclusive. A hybrid endpoint engineering approach that combines asynchronous detection with synchronous enforcement is key🔑

Endpoint security agents have traditionally been viewed as more pain than gain but when built properly it's definitely a strategic advantage. Read from @aionescu and the Cyberhaven team about how we designed ours.

Companies are hemorrhaging sensitive data, from customer IP to source code. The culprit isn’t hackers, but rather their own employees. We analyzed anonymized behavioral data for 1.4 million workers, and we identified over 360,000 data exfiltration incidents.
✨ Introducing our 2022 Insider Risk Report ✨
We analyzed anonymized behavioral data for 1.4 million workers, identifying over 360,000 data exfiltration incidents, including employee data theft, misuse, and accidental disclosure.

I visited Kyiv for the first time in Sept. Spent a lot of time talking with locals about history of Soviet Union and neighbors to the east. Never a hint of animosity or anything even slightly negative about Russia. Surreal to see what's playing out now. #prayforUkraine

BREAKING: In 6-3 vote, Supreme Court narrows scope of Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, landmark cybercrime law, ruling that it doesn't cover situations where people who are authorized to access a computer system do so for improper reasons. supremecourt.gov/opinions/20…
Lots of interest in new #DLP approaches. This was a great discussion with the experts building data protection programs.
We had an insightful discussion with senior security and IT executives on the state of data protection today. Curious about what was covered in our “Why It’s Time to Rethink DLP” virtual event? Here’s a recap of the key themes that were discussed. #DLP cyberhaven.com/rethink-dlp-r…
