Make it safe to say yes to AI agents.
Autonomous agents are becoming the workforce — booking, coding, trading, resolving. Most security thinking treats that as a threat to contain. We treat it as progress to protect. MITRITY exists so that organizations can hand real work to agents with confidence, because every action is checked against intent before it runs.
Every layer of computing got its own security layer. Agents are next.
Networks got firewalls. Applications got WAFs. Identities got IAM.
Gartner projects the average Fortune 500 enterprise will go from fewer than 15 AI agents in 2025 to over 150,000 by 2028.

Now software acts on its own — calling APIs, moving data, spending money — and the controls built for humans and static code don't fit. Watching agents isn't enough; someone has to govern them, inline, at machine speed.
That's the layer we're building: intent-aware, sub-millisecond, and light enough to say yes far more often than it says no.
Thirty years of security. One conclusion.
Joakim has spent three decades building security at the moments the industry changed shape — from network intrusion detection at Sourcefire (later part of Cisco) to application security at F5 Networks, watching each new layer of computing arrive before its safeguards did.
Before MITRITY he founded Baffin Bay Networks, a Stockholm-based threat-protection platform, and led it through to its acquisition by Mastercard in 2023.
MITRITY is the same pattern, recognized one platform shift earlier: autonomous agents are the new layer, and runtime governance is the security it can't ship without. This time, the safeguards arrive with the shift — not years after it.
