Use case · Shadow AI & third-party agents
Controlling agents you never deployed
Agents don’t only enter your environment through channels you control. Teams deploy them without approval. SaaS vendors embed them in tools you already run. FIOR governs all of them.
The problem
Most enterprises are running agents they don’t know about
Most enterprises are running more agents than they know about. Business teams stand up agents without security sign-off. Third-party SaaS platforms embed agents inside products you already pay for. These agents operate with the same broad service account permissions as everything else in your environment, touching data, calling APIs and executing workflows with no inventory, no governance and no control in place.
You can’t govern what you can’t see. And you can’t see what was never registered.
The agents you didn’t deploy carry the same risk as the ones you did.
How FIOR solves it
Every agent gated at the boundary whether you deployed it or not
FIOR sits at the boundary of your environment. Every agent that appears, whether you deployed it or not, must pass through it. Unrecognised agents are detected immediately and gated pending policy assignment. No agent operates in your environment unaccounted for.
Govern a third-party SaaS agent
Trigger
A SaaS vendor’s embedded AI agent begins calling into your environment and APIs.
What FIOR does
Forces the agent through the gateway, requires a verifiable identity and scopes what it can reach. Blocks it if it cannot present one.
Outcome
Agents arriving inside someone else’s software face the same enforcement as your own. Or are denied entry.
Surface and gate shadow agents
Trigger
A business team spins up an agent without security sign-off.
What FIOR does
Detects the unregistered agent at the boundary and gates it pending policy assignment.
Outcome
Shadow AI is discovered and controlled rather than running unseen.
