Announcing the Aembit + Netskope partnership for agentic AI security. We're delighted to officially announce Aembit's partnership with Netskope - and our participation in Netskope's exclusive RSA 2026 Tech Day Workshop on Wednesday in San Francisco. Register to join us. TL;DR: Aembit and Netskope have partnered to give enterprises end-to-end security for agentic AI deployments. Aembit handles identity and access management for AI agents - ensuring every agent has a verified identity and never holds a raw credential - while the Netskope One AI Gateway inspects content, enforces DLP policies, and manages LLM access. Together, they close the access management gap that leaves most enterprises exposed as AI adoption accelerates. AI agents are being deployed across enterprises at a pace that's outrunning security. Gartner predicts 33% of enterprise software applications will include agentic AI by 2028, up from less than 1% in 2024. Yet many organizations are still relying on identity and access management systems built for humans - systems that can't scale to account for the 92 machine identities that exist for every one human user. Unlike other non-human identities (NHI), AI agents can't rely on static credentials or pre-provisioned access - their behaviors are too dynamic and unpredictable. Under-provisioning causes task failure; over-provisioning access creates a scenario where an actor can query databases, call external APIs, or pass sensitive data to models with no audit trail or policy enforcement. That gap creates opportunities for serious risks: leaked credentials, data exfiltration, prompt injection attacks, and uncontrolled data usage among others identified by Gartner experts. Aembit and Netskope are built to close that gap. In October, Aembit announced identity and access management for agentic AI, giving organizations a centralized control plane to secure, manage, and audit agents' access to sensitive data. Last week, Netskope introduced a suite of new AI-focused solutions, including the Netskope One AI Gateway - designed to enforce security policies for private AI applications, including self-hosted or built-in LLMs, within enterprise environments. Together, Aembit and Netskope cover layers every enterprise AI deployment needs: identity validation and content inspection. Benefits of Aembit IAM for agentic AI. Aembit extends modern authentication approaches to non-human identities, including AI agents. By assigning each agent a blended identity and inserting the MCP Identity Gateway between agents and the tools they access, Aembit gives enterprises the same rigorous access control and audit trail for agents that IAM systems have historically delivered for employees. With Aembit, organizations can: * Accelerate enterprise AI adoption safely: Agents never hold direct credentials to enterprise systems, and every access attempt is logged for easy auditability - so you can move fast without creating blind spots. * Apply identity-based policies to AI agent activity: A central control plane governs agentic AI's access to sensitive data and resources based on verified identity and policy - not risky, shareable secrets. * Eliminate blind spots with clear visibility and attribution: Know exactly which agent, operating on behalf of which user, accessed which MCP server and when. Benefits of the Netskope One AI Gateway. The Netskope One AI Gateway provides a single API for applications to securely access and interact with multiple AI models, including Anthropic's Claude, OpenAI's ChatGPT, and Google Gemini. Organizations benefit from: * Data Loss Prevention (DLP) and Content Monitoring: Monitors and blocks sensitive organizational data from leaving the network perimeter, while AI guardrails defend against prompt injection attacks and inappropriate content generation. * Authentication and Rate Limiting: Enforces token-based authentication and regulates request volume to prevent abuse and manage traffic flow across AI model interactions. * Monitoring and Compliance: Tracks all usage data to ensure interactions adhere to established corporate standards - giving compliance teams the audit trail they need. How Aembit and Netskope work together. The integration works across two layers: identity (Aembit) and content inspection (Netskope). Here's how a secure AI agent interaction flows from end to end: * Deploy the Netskope One AI Gateway. The Gateway is deployed as a VM in ESXi or an AMI in AWS, then configured with policies that create AI guardrails, filter prompts, and enable DLP rules. * Deploy Aembit Edge. Aembit Edge is deployed alongside the AI agent and configured with the agent's client identity, verification parameters, and conditional access policies. * Credential injection at runtime. When the agent initiates an API call, Aembit Edge dynamically injects two credentials: one to authenticate access to the Netskope One AI Gateway, and one for the agent to access the downstream LLM through the Gateway. Aembit also enforces access to additional MCP servers in a policy-based and secretless manner. Aembit and Netskope agentic AI architecture. By authenticating both legs of the API call - agent to gateway, and gateway to LLM - Aembit removes the need for deployers to create, store, or share access tokens. Netskope inspects all content in transit and logs every interaction for compliance. By injecting a header for Netskope to detect for policy matching, Aembit enables Netskope to apply fine grained identity-based policies based on the agent's identity. Both platforms provide complementary logging, auditing, and compliance capabilities for defense in depth. Want to see this in action? Join Aembit at the Netskope Tech Day Workshop - a hands-on, collaborative summit designed for enterprise security leaders, architects, and practitioners. Walk away with real-world, actionable strategies for deploying agentic AI safely and securely. Event Details * Event: Netskope Tech Day Workshop at RSA Conference 2026 * Location: Convene, 100 Stockton St., San Francisco * Date: Wednesday, March 25 * Time: 1 to 4 p.m. PT Schedule time with Aembit experts to discuss identity and access management for workloads and agentic AI. Faq. What is agentic AI security? Agentic AI security refers to the tools and policies used to control, monitor, and audit autonomous AI agents in enterprise environments - including how they authenticate, what data they access, and how their outputs are governed. Why aren't existing IAM systems sufficient for AI agents? Traditional IAM was built for human users with usernames, passwords, and MFA. AI agents operate programmatically, at scale, and often with hardcoded or shared credentials - none of which human-focused IAM systems were designed to handle. How does Aembit secure AI agents without shared secrets? Aembit assigns each agent a blended identity and deploys an MCP Identity Gateway proxy that injects credentials dynamically at runtime. Agents never store or hold access tokens directly. What is the Netskope One AI Gateway? A unified API layer that routes AI model traffic - to models like Claude, ChatGPT, or Gemini - through a single, policy-enforced control point with DLP, prompt filtering, rate limiting, and compliance monitoring. How do Aembit and Netskope work together? Aembit authenticates the AI agent's identity and injects credentials for both the Netskope One AI Gateway and the downstream LLM. Netskope then inspects content, enforces data policies, and logs all activity. Together they deliver end-to-end control across identity and content. How can I start using this? Contact Aembit here.

Exploring the Netskope security team's New in Career program. Mar 18 2026 The working world is often changing at a rapid pace, especially with the rise of AI tools, but there will always need to be talented humans behind the controls. That said, it can be hard to know where to start when it comes to an industry like cybersecurity, where the barrier to entry can sometimes be high. At Netskope, the security team has created the "New in Career" program to fill this void, allowing students to get hands-on, real life experience with the roles a security team plays. With all of this in mind, I sat down for a chat with Rob Butler, a senior security engineering manager at Netskope and adjunct professor at Maryville University, to talk about the New in Career program, the power of hands-on learning in cybersecurity, and Netskope's ongoing partnership with Maryville. Can you tell Netskope a bit about the "New in Career" program and how it works? Sure. In the past, the security team had more of a traditional internship program, but in recent years, Netskope has developed it in a way that is more hands-on, offers a more holistic view of the many roles that make up a security team, and provides a jumpstart into the world of cybersecurity. New in Career is a three-month program based out of its St. Louis office that is made up of rotations GRC, SOC, and red-teaming. Your average student likely doesn't know about the specifics of each role, and this way they get to sample what each entails and find what interests them most. Knowing you're also an adjunct professor at Maryville University, how does this program overlap with what you teach there? So, I've taught the 16-week on-campus cloud security course at Maryville University, which I helped build with Netskope BISO Damian Chung, using an existing customer training program as its basis. Much like with the New in Career program, Netskope wanted to be able to simulate the real world scenarios that security professionals face, and Netskope were able to do this by setting up an education "tenant" in which they can play. This way students can take the theoretical off the page and get practical hands-on training around cloud security - from someone with industry experience to back it up. I also bring in past New in Career participants to share their experience in the program and answer any questions prospective applicants might have. And of course it's a great recruitment vehicle for Netskope too! I currently work with a handful of people in its St. Louis office who are former students of mine. Why do you think this relationship has been beneficial to both Netskope and Maryville University? Netskope has long had a good relationship with Dr. Brian Gant, who leads the undergraduate cybersecurity program at Maryville, even before Netskope took over their cloud security course. He actually presented Netskope with the inaugural Clifford Wilke Award in 2025 to recognize its partnership. In addition to the cloud security course, and the opportunities Netskope offer graduates through the New in Career program, Netskope were also able to connect Maryville's on-campus Women in Cybersecurity chapter with the local St. Louis chapter. Ally Troha, a senior security manager here at Netskope, (until recently based out of the St. Louis office) was instrumental in making that connection. On the whole, I think this partnership has been good for both Netskope and Maryville, and I hope it continues to grow and support the next generations of cybersecurity talent. If you're interested in applying, or want to learn more about the Netskope New in Career program, please reach out to Sean Salomon ([email protected]) and Jared Hawkins ([email protected]). They are not only the best folks to ask, but they are also both former interns who found a place in the security team here.
