SecureAuth Launches Platform to Govern AI Agent Identities in Real Time

The Agent Authority Platform applies real-time, zero-trust authorization to every action an AI agent takes — and SecureAuth names Mark van Oppen Chief Revenue Officer to scale enterprise adoption.

Irvine, CA

SecureAuth, a premier identity company protecting many of the world's largest enterprises, has launched the Agent Authority Platform — a real-time, zero-trust control layer that governs the identity of every AI agent and authorizes every action it attempts. The company also named Mark van Oppen as Chief Revenue Officer to scale its reach with enterprises navigating the rapid shift to agentic AI.

AI agents are already operating inside the enterprise — writing invoices, calling APIs, and moving data on their own, most of them without supervision.

91%

of AI agents are over-privileged

78%

of AI deployments have no audit trail

The risks are familiar in shape but new in scale. Goal-seeking agents take shortcuts their operators never sanctioned — approving the wrong invoices, refunding the wrong customers, calling the wrong APIs — while prompt injection can turn a trusted agent into someone else's instructions. Most identity tools verify a user at login and walk away. That is no longer enough when the thing logging in is autonomous.

"Authentication tells you who walked in the door. It tells you nothing about whether the next transaction should happen. The Agent Authority Platform answers that question continuously, for every action, for every agent, every time."

Geoffrey Mattson, CEO of SecureAuth

The Agent Authority Platform operates with no standing privileges and no implicit trust. Every API call, tool invocation, and transaction is evaluated against identity, policy, and risk at the moment it happens — then allowed, downscoped, escalated, or blocked. Credentials are federated across OAuth 2.0, OIDC, mTLS, and more through a unified vault, so agents never see a downstream secret.

Real-Time, Zero-Trust Control

Agent actions are authorized in real time with no standing privileges, across the full context of who, what, when, where, and how much.

Real-Time Visibility

Live attribution of every agent action to a human user and a business purpose. No more shadow agents, no more black-box service accounts.

Agent Detection and Response (ADR)

Behavioral baselines for every agent, with drift and anomaly detection in seconds and automatic downscope, revoke, or deny.

Tamperproof Audit and Compliance

An immutable record of every action attempted or completed, retained for audit, exportable for regulators, and streamed into the SIEM you already operate.

Mark van Oppen

Chief Revenue Officer

To accelerate enterprise adoption, SecureAuth named Mark van Oppen Chief Revenue Officer. Van Oppen leads global sales and marketing, bringing leadership experience from IBM, Heptio, VMware, and FusionAuth, with deep expertise across cloud, Kubernetes, and identity.

"The next era of identity will be defined by continuous control, not one-time access decisions. SecureAuth is building for that future at exactly the right moment, and the launch of the Agent Authority Platform is the clearest proof."
