Use case: BYOA Risk Management

Your employees didn't wait for IT to approve their AI agents. Neither did the risk.

BYOA - Bring Your Own Agent - is already inside your enterprise. Built on personal tools, connected to your systems, outside IT governance. aizome governs every BYOA agent the moment it's discovered - same identity, same controls, same accountability as every other agent.

Forrester ranked personal AI agents the top CISO risk of 2026.

Same Governance. Every Origin.

Every BYOA agent. Same inventory. No exceptions.

Cursor. n8n. Claude. Zapier. Personal Copilot. Your employees connected them to Salesforce, Slack, and GitHub. None of it went through IT. aizome surfaces every BYOA agent alongside sanctioned agents - owner attributed, systems mapped, risk scored - within hours of deployment.

BYOA agents run on enterprise credentials. aizome scopes them.

Employees deploy agents using their own credentials. Those agents inherit full access - and exercise it at machine scale, without human review. aizome assigns a governed hybrid identity to every BYOA agent interaction - scoped to its actual task, brokered inline. The agent never holds a credential directly.

A centralized AI Agent Control Plane / Gateway that enforces the same guardrails that apply to sanctioned agents to apply to BYOA agents.

Most governance frameworks assume approval before deployment. BYOA breaks that assumption. The aizome Identity Control Fabric enforces policy on every BYOA agent from first detection. Block. JIT approval. User-level boundary. No per-agent setup required.

Policy guardrails applied to BYOA agent

Every BYOA action logged. Every interaction is attributed. No exceptions for origin.

A BYOA agent that took an unauthorized action is a logged, attributed, auditable event — not a shadow incident. Every tool call. Every prompt. Every data access. Structured for SIEM ingestion. Production-ready for regulators.

The difference shows up before the first incident does.

Withaizome

  • Every BYOA agent surfaced in the governed inventory - within hours
  • Hybrid identity assigned, credentials brokered, permissions scoped to task
