NOMINATION HIGHLIGHTS

As organizations deploy AI agents that take autonomous actions, interact with enterprise tools, and execute multi-step workflows, governance has become one of the most pressing challenges in enterprise AI. Airia is the AI governance platform purpose-built to provide centralized oversight, policy enforcement, and continuous risk monitoring across the full lifecycle of agentic AI.

Airia addresses the growing need for active governance, meaning the ability to not just assess and document AI risk, but to intervene, enforce, and audit in real time. The platform delivers three integrated capabilities that set it apart.

Comprehensive AI and Agent Discovery
Airia provides enterprise-wide visibility into where and how AI is being used, spanning internally built models, embedded SaaS AI, third-party applications, and agentic systems. Discovery runs across browser extensions, network integrations, code scanning, DNS, identity layer logs, and cloud platforms including AWS Bedrock and Azure AI Foundry. Every discovered asset feeds a living inventory that drives automated risk classification, policy assignment, and lifecycle controls.
Policy Management and Enforcement at Scale
Airia enables AI governance leaders to define policies centrally and enforce them consistently across all AI, regardless of where it was built or deployed. Through its AI Gateway and MCP Gateway, Airia applies guardrails and agent constraints to external agents and third-party tools, not just AI built within the platform. Risk-based workflows, human-in-the-loop approvals, and role-based access controls allow organizations to govern who can build, publish, and deploy AI agents, with full auditability at every step.

Governance Built for Agentic AI Specifically
Airia goes beyond model-level governance to address the unique risks of autonomous agents. Agent constraints provide hardcoded behavioral boundaries that persist regardless of runtime instructions or manipulation attempts. Tool execution alignment checking monitors whether an agent’s actions match its stated purpose and the user’s intent, catching misuse and indirect attacks that conventional guardrails miss. Pre-built regulatory packs covering the EU AI Act, NIST AI RMF, and ISO 42001 accelerate compliance readiness, while automated reporting supports both internal governance teams and external regulators.

Recognized in Gartner’s Market Guide for AI Governance and Forrester’s Landscape for AI Governance Platforms, Airia is helping enterprises in regulated industries scale agentic AI responsibly, with the transparency and accountability that stakeholders require.
