RSA Launches Agent ID to Secure AI Agents in Highly Regulated Sectors
Event summary
- RSA introduced RSA Agent ID, a platform to discover, secure, and govern AI agents in highly regulated industries, at The AI Conference in San Francisco on September 29, 2026.
- RSA Agent ID Discover and Secure will be generally available on November 16, 2026, with RSA Agent ID Govern slated for the first half of 2027.
- The platform addresses the growing risk of ungoverned AI agents, with Gartner predicting 150,000 AI agents per Fortune 500 enterprise by 2028.
- RSA Agent ID provides sovereign control, allowing organizations to run the AI/MCP Gateway in the cloud, hybrid, or on-premises environments.
The big picture
RSA's launch of Agent ID comes as organizations struggle to manage the rapid proliferation of AI agents, which Gartner expects to grow exponentially by 2028. The platform addresses critical gaps in agent governance, particularly in sectors where regulatory scrutiny is intensifying. With boards increasingly holding security outcomes directly, RSA positions Agent ID as a solution to maintain control over data and decisions within regulated environments.
