WitnessAI expands agentic security with Agentic Control. WitnessAI has announced expanded agentic security capabilities designed to govern how AI agents interact with enterprise systems, tools, and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. The new Agentic Control solution provides a unified control plane that enables organizations to discover, monitor, govern, and restrict AI agent behavior at runtime, improving visibility and security across AI-driven environments. Enterprises are rapidly deploying AI agents across chat applications, integrated development environments (IDE), and custom workflows, but security teams lack the visibility to monitor or control their access. This shift introduces severe operational risks: compromised agents can now independently execute tools, access sensitive systems, and exfiltrate data. As most legacy security technologies were not designed to inspect MCP communications, tool invocations, or agent-to-agent workflows, organizations are left exposed. WitnessAI Agentic Control bridges this gap by delivering deep visibility and real-time network enforcement over the tools and MCP servers AI agents can access. By establishing a single, organization-wide approved-tool policy, enterprises gain consistent runtime governance across approved agentic environments. This unified control plane secures both human and agentic AI, providing a comprehensive audit trail for safe, compliant adoption. WitnessAI Agentic Control delivers: * Agent Discovery and Visibility: The platform automatically discovers AI agents operating across enterprise environments including IDEs, applications, agent frameworks, and custom agents built in the public cloud, and identifies the specific MCP servers, tools, and downstream systems each agent reaches. WitnessAI's new MCP Catalog scores known tools against OWASP and CVE risk classes, enabling security teams to assess risk before granting approval. * Approved-Tool and MCP Server Governance: WitnessAI enables organizations to define organization-wide allow lists of approved MCP servers and tools that can be consistently enforced across agentic environments.This allows for consistent enforcement across all applications, model providers, and custom-built agents. * Runtime Agentic Enforcement: The platform inspects and governs conversations in agentic applications including IDEs, enabling organizations to restrict unauthorized prompts and responses and enforce approved policies at runtime. Combined with WitnessAI's AI Firewall capabilities, organizations can also apply prompt injection, jailbreak, and response protections for AI applications and agents. "Enterprises are moving fast to deploy AI agents that can code, access internal data, and execute complex workflows. However, security teams cannot protect what they cannot see, let alone control," said Rick Caccia, CEO and co-founder at WitnessAI. "Most AI security vendors hand the buyer a choice: govern employees, govern apps, or govern agents. WitnessAI removes that choice. By extending the platform our customers already trust to govern employee AI usage, we are providing a single control plane to protect all AI activity. A CISO can write a rule once, and it holds across every human user, IDE, chat application, and custom agent." The WitnessAI platform delivers a 99.3% true positive rate on employee AI guardrails, extending the same platform foundation that governs AI usage across more than 4,000 AI applications and over 100 supported model types.

WitnessAI, an AI-native security platform, has launched Agentic Control, a system providing enterprises with unified visibility and governance over AI agents, Model Context Protocol servers, and tools. The platform addresses security gaps as organisations rapidly deploy AI agents across chat applications, development environments and custom workflows. Agentic Control offers real-time discovery and monitoring of AI agent activity, network enforcement to restrict agent access to approved tools and MCP servers, and cross-environment governance with consistent policies. The system maintains a 99.3% true positive rate on employee AI guardrails and supports over 4,000 AI applications across 100-plus model types. The platform aims to eliminate security blind spots in agent-to-agent workflows and tool invocations that legacy security technologies cannot inspect. Agentic Control is now available to all WitnessAI customers.

WitnessAI and NTT DATA Japan partner to accelerate Secure AI adoption for Japanese enterprises. Apr 14, 2026, 09:00 ET Partnership marks major milestone for WitnessAI's international expansion as demand for purpose-built AI security controls accelerates globally MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., April 14, 2026 /PRNewswire/ - WitnessAI, the AI security platform trusted by leading enterprises, today announced the expansion of its global operations in Japan through a new partnership with NTT DATA Japan, a global leader in AI, digital business and technology services. Under this agreement, NTT DATA Japan will act as a strategic reseller of the WitnessAI security platform, empowering Japanese organizations to accelerate their secure use of AI while mitigating risk and ensuring strict governance. This partnership addresses the growing need for robust AI security controls across NTT DATA's Japanese customer base, including safeguarding AI models, emerging agent-based systems, and employee use of generative AI. WitnessAI provides the confidence layer for enterprise AI adoption with a unified platform that can observe, control, and protect all AI activity. The WitnessAI platform delivers AI usage visibility, intent-based controls, and runtime defense to secure every employee, model, application, and agent. NTT DATA Japan, alongside the broader NTT DATA Group companies in Japan,, has implemented the WitnessAI platform internally to enable the secure, governed use of AI across its own operations. Building on this successful implementation, NTT DATA Japan has now integrated WitnessAI's technology into its "Responsible and Secure AI" service, which provides organizations with end-to-end support for AI governance adoption. By reselling the platform as part of this comprehensive service, NTT DATA Japan is helping its extensive customer base safely adopt and scale AI. "Our priority is to support our customers in navigating the rapidly evolving AI landscape safely and effectively," said Tomonori Kohara, Head of Solutions Sector at NTT DATA Japan. "Having successfully implemented WitnessAI internally, we have experienced firsthand its value in enabling secure and responsible AI adoption. As a global solutions provider, we are excited to partner with WitnessAI to deliver these proven capabilities to our customers, ensuring they have the visibility and controls necessary to implement AI with confidence and strengthen their global competitiveness." The partnership arrives at a critical point in the Japanese market. Japan's AI Promotion Act - a law designed to encourage the safe adoption of AI - passed in May 2025. Companies increasingly require comprehensive visibility and control over their AI usage to support these new standards. WitnessAI has been proven to effectively support Japanese language AI conversations and custom policies, providing organizations with the localized tools they need to align with regional frameworks. "We provide the technology organizations need to scale AI securely and without friction," said Rick Caccia, CEO and co-founder at WitnessAI. "By tapping into NTT DATA's expansive reach and trusted relationships, we are accelerating access to our AI security platform across Japan. Our technology is already proven to deliver unmatched AI visibility and runtime defenses for Japanese enterprises. This partnership with NTT DATA will continue to help organizations across the region overcome AI security challenges and achieve higher return of investments on their AI deployments."
