Linx Newsroom

New York, N.Y. — September 21, 2026 — Linx Security, the AI-native identity security and governance platform, today announced it has been recognized as a Representative Vendor in full-suite vendors in the 2026 Gartner® Market Guide for Identity Governance and Administration (IGA).

Linx believes this recognition reflects the market's shift toward continuous, AI-driven identity governance — moving away from the periodic, manual access reviews that have defined legacy IGA, toward an approach that can keep pace with hybrid environments and the rapid growth of non-human and AI agent identities.

According to the report, IGA is evolving to meet this moment. The Gartner report recommends companies do the following when evaluating IGA vendors: 

• Prioritize unified governance for all identity types: Gartner advises choosing IGA platforms that offer unified governance across all identity types, whether human, non-human, or agentic. Linx delivers this through its Identity Graph, which unifies human, machine, and AI agent identities into a single model, giving security and IT teams continuous visibility into who and what has access, how that access is used, and where risk is emerging.
• Implement AI runtime controls: Instead of relying on a loosely phased approach of generic guardrails for AI, the report says that cybersecurity leaders must get specific now about implementing precise AI runtime controls. Linx provides this through Agentic Access Control and an MCP Gateway, which let security teams govern and restrict the tools and data AI agents can reach in real time.
• Select an AI-enabled IGA platform: Gartner notes that as regulations and threats increase, AI-powered IGA platforms are becoming essential for managing and protecting all types of identities. Linx advances this through Autopilot, which automates the detection and remediation work that traditionally consumed identity teams' time during access reviews and certifications.

Israel Duanis, Co-Founder and CEO of Linx Security, said: "We built Linx because identity teams were being asked to govern a fundamentally new kind of environment — humans, machines, and now AI agents — with tools built for a world that no longer exists. Being named a Representative Vendor in Gartner's Market Guide for IGA is validation that continuous, AI-native governance isn't a future state, it's what enterprises need today. We see this as further confirmation that the market is moving in the direction we've been building toward since day one."

NEW YORK, N.Y. — July 28, 2026 — Linx Security, the AI-native identity security and governance platform, today announced a new integration with Snowflake, the AI Data Cloud company. The integration gives enterprises a way to bring third-party AI agents under the same identity discipline already applied to human and system accounts by connecting, governing, and auditing agent activity wherever it touches business-critical systems.

AI agents are no longer passive tools; they're initiating actions on their own, pulling sensitive data, and calling out to other systems without a person in the loop at every step. Most identity and access frameworks were built around predictable human behavior, not autonomous decision-making at machine speed, leaving a widening gap between what agents can do and what security teams can actually see or control.

Linx is launching a new secure third-party agent access integration within Snowflake’s security ecosystem to establish a new benchmark for enterprise AI governance and security. Through this integration, organizations can mitigate critical third-party identity risks while seamlessly connecting, governing, and scaling agents to deliver production-ready AI solutions across the enterprise.

"Most 'AI governance' announcements are policy documents, not enforcement,” said Niv Goldenberg, CPO and Co-Founder of Linx. "What we built with Snowflake is different. It's real-time, it's granular down to the individual action an agent takes, and it doesn't ask security teams to trust and verify later. It verifies first."

This initiative reflects a wider pattern taking hold across the industry: securing the agentic enterprise requires ecosystem-wide collaboration.

“Securing the agentic enterprise requires an entirely new model of trust, visibility, and control,” said Mayank Upadhyay, Chief Security and Trust Officer, Snowflake. “Through the integration with Linx, a secure foundation for agent interoperability is established, equipping organizations with the precise access capabilities and trust required to run autonomous workflows safely.”

Together, Linx with Snowflake are laying groundwork that goes beyond this single integration: a trusted baseline that enterprises will need as agentic AI moves from pilot projects into everyday production use.

As organizations rapidly deploy Claude across teams and workflows, security and compliance teams have faced a fundamental blind spot: they have had no way to see who holds access to Claude, what level of privilege they carry, which API keys exist, or what resources and projects are being shared. Until now, what happened inside those AI interactions has remained largely invisible to the identity and security teams responsible for managing access risk.

The Linx integration based on the new Claude compliance API, powered by Anthropic, changes that. Claude governance lives natively inside the Linx platform, alongside every other application in the enterprise. For security leaders, that means Claude is no longer an ungoverned blind spot in the identity estate: it carries the same visibility, audit trail, and access controls as every other application their teams are responsible for securing.

"Claude has become a critical enterprise application almost overnight, but without the identity governance controls that organizations apply to everything else in their stack," said Israel Duanis, CEO and Co-Founder at Linx. "You can see who has access to Salesforce. You can see who holds admin keys in your cloud infrastructure. You should be able to see the same for Claude. This integration makes that possible, and it does it the right way: not as a standalone tool, but as part of the same identity fabric our customers already use to govern every identity in their environment."

Governing Claude

Once connected, Claude becomes a fully governed application in Linx. Identity teams can now:

See accounts, roles, and permissions in Claude — A complete view of all accounts provisioned in Claude, the roles assigned to them, and the groups they belong to. Teams can filter directly to administrative roles and drill into the specific permissions each role carries, making it easy to identify over-provisioned access at a glance.

Review and certify access with Linx AI-powered recommendations — Launch access certification campaigns scoped specifically to Claude, reviewing who has access and what entitlements they hold. Linx surfaces recommendations powered by Anthropic's own models to help reviewers decide whether each access grant should be approved or denied, accelerating certification cycles without sacrificing rigor.

Identify and associate API keys — Full visibility into API keys created within Claude, including when each key was created and associated metadata, giving security teams the audit trail they need to detect stale or unmanaged keys.

Govern projects and resources — Monitorthe specific projects and shared resources within Claude, with an access graph for each project that maps exactly how access is provisioned: which roles exist, which users hold them, and how they connect.

"What makes this integration stand out is that access review recommendations are powered by Anthropic's own models. You're not just getting visibility into who has access to Claude — you're getting intelligent guidance on whether that access is appropriate," said Niv Goldenberg, CPO & Co-Founder at Linx. "Combining Linx's identity governance with Anthropic's AI to make faster, smarter certification decisions is exactly the kind of integration that moves enterprises from checkbox compliance to continuous, intelligent governance."

The Linx integration with the Claude Compliance API is available now. To learn more or see the integration in action, visit linx.security/demo.

NEW YORK, NY – June 9, 2026 – Identity security company Linx Security has announced the general availability of Linx Agentic Access Control, a real-time enforcement layer that gives security and identity teams granular oversight of every action carried out through the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — whether that action is initiated by a person, a non-human identity, or an autonomous AI agent. The announcement was distributed via PR Newswire.

The release extends Linx's existing unified identity platform — which already governs human and non-human identities — directly into the agentic layer. As the company explains, AI agents have moved beyond simply surfacing information and are now taking real actions inside business-critical systems: reading records, writing data, querying databases, and calling APIs. Conventional access controls weren't built to inspect or enforce policy on that kind of MCP traffic, and because those actions often don't appear in downstream application logs, security teams are left without visibility, without a way to allow or block actions at machine speed, and without an auditable record.

The announcement cites supporting data, noting that McKinsey's 2026 AI Trust Maturity Survey found nearly two-thirds of organizations point to security and risk as the top barrier to scaling agentic AI, with active mitigation trailing awareness. It also references NSA guidance on real-world MCP security risks, which recommends that access to tools touching sensitive or regulated data be explicitly controlled and segregated.

Per the release, Linx Agentic Access Control is built on an MCP Gateway that sits inline between AI platforms and the applications they reach, so every tool call is checked before it runs. The company highlights three core capabilities: tool-level enforcement that controls which specific read, write, and admin tools an agent can invoke; inline, real-time adjudication that approves or blocks each call before execution; and full audit logging that timestamps every action and ties it to the responsible identity. Linx frames its unified-identity approach — governing humans, non-human identities, and agents under one policy — as the key differentiator versus point solutions that handle agents in isolation.

The release includes commentary from Co-Founder and CPO Niv Goldenberg and VP Product Dor Renert, and notes the product is available now to Linx Security customers.

NEW YORK, NY – June 9, 2026 – Identity security firm Linx Security has unveiled a new platform aimed at giving organizations real-time oversight of the autonomous AI agents now operating inside their systems, according to reporting from BriefGlance.com.

The product, called Linx Agentic Access Control, functions as an enforcement layer for the Model Context Protocol (MCP) — the increasingly common standard that lets AI systems connect to and act on business tools. As covered in the article, AI agents have moved well past simple chatbot duties and are now reading records, writing data, querying databases, and calling APIs within critical enterprise environments. Traditional access controls, built for human users and predictable machine identities, were never designed to monitor that kind of activity, creating what the piece describes as a governance vacuum.

The report points to mounting concern across the industry. A 2026 McKinsey survey found that roughly two-thirds of organizations name security and risk as the main obstacle to scaling agentic AI. The National Security Agency also issued guidance in May 2026 flagging risks tied to MCP, including uncontrolled automated actions and context poisoning, and recommended tighter controls around tools that touch sensitive data.

According to the coverage, Linx's approach routes every action an agent attempts through an inline MCP gateway, where it is inspected and either approved or blocked before execution. The platform offers tool-level permission controls, real-time adjudication, and full audit logging — capturing and timestamping every action and tying it back to the originating identity. Notably, Linx integrates these capabilities into its broader unified identity platform rather than treating AI agents as a standalone problem, which the article frames as a key differentiator against legacy IAM vendors.

The piece, written by Matthew Richardson for BriefGlance.com, also situates the launch against a backdrop of tightening global regulation — including the EU AI Act, GDPR, and sector-specific mandates — where the ability to produce a complete audit trail of agent activity is becoming a compliance necessity rather than a nice-to-have.
