What you'll learn

  • Agent governance encompasses cost control, data security, and enforcement of business policies as production agents scale across teams
  • Foundation requirements include security, authentication, audit logs, user management, and data separation to protect sensitive information
  • Gateway infrastructure centralizes governance features like spend control, data protection, rate limiting, and fallback mechanisms across agent workflows

Frequently asked questions

What are the core challenges of governing agents in production?
Teams must control spending, protect sensitive data, enforce internal policies, and maintain visibility across complex workflows. This becomes increasingly critical as agents scale across the business.
What foundational elements must be established first for agent governance?
Security, authentication, audit logs, user management, provider secrets, data separation, and data residency form the foundation for controlled agent deployments.
How does gateway infrastructure support agent governance?
Gateway infrastructure centralizes governance features like spend control, data protection, rate limiting, and fallback mechanisms, giving teams better control over their agent ecosystem.
Where does gateway infrastructure fit in the Agent Development Lifecycle?
Gateway infrastructure is part of the broader Agent Development Lifecycle, providing the control layer for security, compliance, and scalable deployments.

Description from the channel

As agents scale across the business, teams face new governance challenges: controlling spend, protecting sensitive data, enforcing internal policies, and maintaining visibility across increasingly complex workflows. In this webinar, we will break down what agent governance means for teams building and deploying production agents. We’ll cover the foundations that need to be in place first, including security, authentication, audit logs, user management, provider secrets, data separation, and data residency. Then we’ll explore where gateway infrastructure fits into the broader Agent Development Lifecycle and how teams can centralize spend control, data protection, rate limits, fallback and a range of other governance features.
