Cyata becomes OWASP Corporate Supporter, reinforcing commitment to open security practices as AI agents reshape organizations.
Today, Cyata announces its membership as a Corporate Supporter of the Open Web Application Security Project (OWASP). As the world’s leading community-driven organization dedicated to security standards, OWASP has defined the frameworks that developers, security teams, and auditors worldwide depend on. With vendor-neutral research and open collaboration, OWASP’s work shapes how organizations approach security at scale.
For Cyata, this partnership represents more than a membership. It’s a commitment to advancing open, community-driven standards for securing AI agents as they become critical infrastructure across enterprise operations.
AI Security is an emergent topic within the appsec realm, especially when it comes to AI governance. OWASP is pleased to have Cyata supporting our mission. Corporate Supporters’ kind generosity helps support all our projects, including AI projects such as OWASP GenAI and OWASP AI Exchange.

Why AI Agents Require a New Security Paradigm
The emergence of AI agents as autonomous actors fundamentally changes enterprise security. These aren’t tools that humans operate – they are systems that make independent decisions about access, data handling, and business processes. The security implications extend beyond traditional perimeters.
Cyata’s control plane for agentic identity takes a posture-first approach: discover, explain, and control every AI agent in your environment. This enables governance at scale – organizations can enforce posture guardrails that adapt to risk levels and establish context-aware access controls. The result: preemptive security where every agent action is attributable and audit-ready, not shadow risk.
AI agents are already operating autonomously across enterprises – the governance gap isn’t theoretical; it’s here now. As the first Agentic SPM platform, Cyata is building the security infrastructure organizations need today. Joining OWASP reflects our commitment to establishing open standards for this new security paradigm.

Building Secure AI Ecosystems Through Community
OWASP’s vendor-neutral, community-first approach aligns with how agentic security must evolve. As AI agents operate across enterprise systems, they create new risk surfaces that traditional security controls weren’t designed to address. Credential abuse, unauthorized access, and ungoverned behavior become amplified when autonomous actors operate without governance across systems and workflows.
Cyata’s membership enables us to contribute expertise from the frontlines of agentic security while learning from decades of security knowledge within the OWASP community. As enterprises deploy AI agents that autonomously navigate their operations, the principles that have protected organizations for years must be adapted for autonomous actors.
The Control Plane for Agentic Identity
The future of enterprise security includes AI agents as first-class entities, not afterthoughts. Cyata’s participation in OWASP represents our commitment to ensuring this future is built on open standards, community collaboration, and security principles that protect organizations at scale.
