Identity
An IP address is not an agent. A login is not an agent. The controls you own can't name which agent is talking — or whether it's allowed to.
Solutions
Agents are a new kind of network traffic
Autonomous agents open connections on their own — calling model and inference providers, calling other agents, reaching services no human requested. This traffic is exploding, and it is concentrated where the stakes are highest.
40%
of enterprise apps embed AI agents by end of 2026
~47%
of banking & insurance already run agents in production
~1 in 3
enterprises have any AI-specific security controls

Maya is built for enforcing agents. Your traditional network tools don't work because they're built for hosts and humans.
Scale
Agents are ephemeral and multiplying — thousands per host, across regions and providers. Host- and rule-based tooling wasn't built for this cardinality.
Automation
Agents act at machine speed. Detection and prevention have to happen in-line, on the wire — not in a log you read after the fact.
What Maya catches
Top deviations, by where agents already run
Financial services
KYC, AML, fraud, claims — under DORA & SOX.
Providers · Egress_Budget · Peers
Healthcare
Clinical docs, intake, monitoring — under HIPAA.
Reach · Providers · Directionality
Software & dev
Coding and review agents — used daily by most developers, often with repository access.
Egress_Budget · Providers · Rate
Customer operations
Support & SDR agents — fastest ROI, highest volume.
Rate · Temporal · Egress_Budget
How Maya compares
Nobody else governs the agent, at the wire
| Capability | Maya | Firewall / NDR | Identity / IAM | Service mesh |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Per-agent identity from the wire | ✓ | — | ◐ | — |
| Payload-blind (no TLS termination) | ✓ | ◐ | n/a | — |
| East–west (A2A) + egress governance | ✓ | — | — | ◐ |
| No code, no SDK, no sidecar | ✓ | ✓ | ◐ | — |
| Provider / peer authorization policy | ✓ | — | ◐ | — |
| Telemetry into your existing tools | ✓ | ◐ | ◐ | ✓ |
| Built for agent scale, in-line | ✓ | ◐ | — | ◐ |
◐ = partial / adjacent capability
Maya consumes and complements the identity, network, and AI-security tooling you already run — it adds the agent-behavior layer they don't have.
