Open-source technology provider\u00a0WS02 LLC<\/a>\u00a0today announced the launch of WSO2 Agent Manager, an open control plane for artificial intelligence agents that gives enterprises a unified way to identify, govern, secure and scale agents across environments.<\/p>\n

The new offering helps organizations move from AI experimentation to production by addressing a critical gap: bringing visibility, control and accountability to autonomous agents operating across the enterprise.<\/p>\n

WSO2 Agent Manager comes as organizations are accelerating agentic AI adoption to avoid being left behind, driven by the promise of nonlinear productivity gains that agentic systems can unlock. WSO2, however, argues that operational maturity is lagging behind, with teams forced to choose between moving fast with limited visibility and control, introducing significant unmanaged risk, or slowing progress to build operational frameworks for each runtime and environment.<\/p>\n

The new Agent Manager extends WSO2\u2019s role as the enterprise control layer into the era of AI, making agents go from being invisible to first-class, governed participants in enterprise systems.<\/p>\n

\u201cAI agents introduce a fundamentally new challenge. Their autonomy and probabilistic behavior make them powerful but also difficult to control,\u201d said Rania Khalaf, chief AI officer at WSO2. \u201cWith WSO2 Agent Manager, we\u2019re bringing agents into the enterprise fabric where they are no longer invisible processes but identified, governed, accountable entities that can be securely operated at scale.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new service also addresses the increasing issue of \u201cagent sprawl,\u201d whereby when enterprises deploy increasing numbers of agents, there is limited coordination, inconsistent controls and growing compliance risks. Issues are also often compounded by fragmented tooling across frameworks, runtimes and hyperscalers.<\/p>\n

Agent Manager addresses the agent sprawl issue by establishing a centralized system of record for all agents to allow organizations to innovate by choosing the frameworks that best fit their use cases while maintaining a consistent approach to agent operations. The offering includes support for unified governance, performance insights and policy enforcement for agents running both within Agent Manager and across external environments.<\/p>\n

The service features include federated agent management that allows companies to manage agents across frameworks and environments, including cloud, on-premises and hybrid, from a single control plane. The platform establishes a strong identity for agents and securely delegates access, ensuring every action is authenticated, authorized and auditable.<\/p>\n

Centralized governance and guardrails let enterprises define and enforce policies across agents, large language models and tools to control behavior, reduce risk and ensure compliance.<\/p>\n

The platform also provides visibility, traceability and observability through end-to-end tracing and a rich evaluation framework for tracking agent performance. Agents can be deployed in a Kubernetes-native, zero-trust runtime with isolation, lifecycle controls and real-time intervention.<\/p>\n

WSO2 Agent Manager will be generally available in June under the Apache 2.0 license.<\/p>\n
