IBM combines governance and security tools to solve the AI agent oversight crisis

IBM is integrating its AI governance tool watsonx.governance with Guardium AI Security — its tool for securing AI models, data, and their usage — to simplify and bolster AgentOps for enterprises.

AgentOps, short for agent operations and also otherwise known as agent development lifecycle management, is a growing area of focus for enterprises as agent sprawl becomes a key challenge, mostly driven by vendors lining up to offer enterprises tools to create AI agents for a plethora of different tasks.
