Secure AI Agents

AI agents are rapidly being introduced across SaaS applications, from built-in assistants and workflow agents to custom agents connected to business-critical tools. Teams deploy agents to automate tasks and make decisions, often created by business users or citizen developers without clear ownership or security review. These agents frequently go undiscovered, connect to multiple SaaS services, inherit broad permissions, and operate continuously, creating new data paths and automated activity that are difficult to track. Without centralized security and governance for AI agents, organizations lack visibility into which agents are active, what data they can access, and how they interact with sensitive systems. This lack of accountability and oversight creates blind spots that increase risk, complicate compliance, and expand the SaaS attack surface through uncontrolled autonomous behavior.

Valence delivers centralized security and governance for AI agents by discovering agents operating across SaaS applications, whether sanctioned or created by business users. The platform maps agent-driven workflows, identifies the SaaS tools and integrations each agent can access, and highlights agents with excessive permissions, dormant activity, or unclear ownership. Valence evaluates the posture of every agent, assessing configuration, data access, and allowed actions to enforce least-privilege controls and policy alignment. Continuous monitoring detects risky behavior, permission changes, and inactive agents that still retain access to sensitive systems. With clear visibility and actionable governance controls, Valence enables organizations to assign ownership, approve trusted agents, remediate risky ones, and securely manage AI agents across the SaaS environment.
