SGNL is at the forefront of secure AI-driven automation, introducing a new standard called Model Context Protocol (MCP) that enhances how AI agents interact with enterprise systems. While these AI agents can significantly boost productivity by performing tasks with simple prompts, they also pose access risks if not properly managed. SGNL’s powerful platform ensures that these agents operate within defined access controls, preventing unauthorized exposure of sensitive data. By leveraging real-time, context-aware access decisions, SGNL protects critical information and systems for Fortune 500 companies, reinforcing the need for security in this evolving technology landscape.

PALO ALTO, Calif. – A powerful new wave of automation is transforming the way enterprises operate, thanks to AI agents powered by advanced language models. These agents can manage tasks ranging from updating records to data analysis with just a simple prompt. However, this newfound capability comes with risks: if not managed properly, these agents can access sensitive information they shouldn’t be allowed to see.
Enter SGNL, a modern privileged identity management platform, which has recently announced its support for the Model Context Protocol (MCP). This emerging standard not only enhances the functionality of AI agents but also offers a much-needed layer of security to keep data safe. SGNL is designed to give enterprises control, allowing them to enjoy the benefits of AI without exposing themselves to risks related to data access and compliance violations.
With MCP, SGNL provides a more secure environment for businesses. Erik Gustavson, co-founder and Chief Product Officer, emphasized that as technology evolves, so do the security needs. SGNL focuses on making real-time, identity-aware decisions that ensure AI agents can only access what they absolutely need at any given moment.
Traditional access controls can be insufficient in an age of AI. The standard role-based access control (RBAC) systems don’t cater to the dynamic nature of artificial intelligence agents. They often result in overly permissive or restrictive access to information. SGNL’s innovative approach changes that by applying context-sensitive policies that evolve in real time based on who is accessing data, what they are trying to access, and the purpose behind it.
This groundbreaking protection is already in use, safeguarding critical data for Fortune 50 and Fortune 500 companies, ensuring that AI agents enhance business speed without becoming a liability.

What is MCP in relation to AI agents?
MCP stands for Managed Control Protocol. It gives AI agents more power to perform tasks efficiently while ensuring they operate within safe and ethical boundaries.
How does SGNL ensure AI agents are responsible?
SGNL implements guidelines and monitoring systems to keep AI agents in check. This helps them make decisions that are ethical and safe for users.
Can AI agents make decisions on their own with MCP?
With MCP, AI agents can make more decisions on their own, but their actions are still guided by the rules set by SGNL. This helps maintain responsibility in their operations.
What role does human oversight play with AI agents using MCP?
Human oversight is crucial. While AI agents can act more independently with MCP, humans still review their actions to ensure they align with ethical standards and user safety.
Why is responsible AI important?
Responsible AI is important because it helps prevent misuse and ensures that technology benefits society. It builds trust between users and AI systems, leading to safer interactions.
