AI Platforms & Agent Builders
Copilot, Glean, Cursor and the rest govern AI inside their own walls. Your employees use more than one of them. Willow is the neutral control plane underneath, with one set of identity, access and audit policies across every AI client and agent, whoever built it.
Integration & Agent Tooling
Integration platforms and tool-calling SDKs connect agents to apps fast. Governance is usually an add-on, scoped to whatever you built on them. Willow connects any agent to a vetted connector catalog or to any API wrapped as MCP, with SSO, RBAC, approvals and audit built in for every team.
Security Platforms
SSE, XDR, DLP and AppSec platforms protect networks, endpoints, data and code. To them, an agent calling a tool looks like ordinary web traffic. Willow adds the missing layer: tool-level control per user and per agent, with audit logs streaming into the SIEM you already use.
Willow vs CrowdStrike Falcon AIDR
CrowdStrike Falcon AIDR detects prompt attacks and data loss at the model layer. Willow governs what agents are allowed to do: identity, scoped access, and audit. How they compare, and why many enterprises run both.
API & LLM Gateways
API gateways govern apps calling endpoints. LLM gateways route and meter model requests. Neither knows the user behind an agent or which tools that agent should see. Willow is an MCP gateway built for that layer: identity-aware tool access, runtime guards and audit for every agent action, alongside the gateways you already run.
Identity & Access
IAM, PAM and non-human identity tools decide who or what gets access to a system. They weren't built to decide which tool an AI agent calls mid-conversation. Willow plugs into your IdP, inherits groups through SCIM, and enforces least privilege on every tool call at runtime. Most teams run both.
AI Agent Security
AI agent security platforms inspect prompts, responses and tool calls to catch prompt injection, data leakage and risky agent behavior as it happens. Willow shrinks what can go wrong in the first place. Agents only get the tools a task needs, with runtime guards and a full audit trail on every call.
Shadow AI & AI Posture Tools
Shadow AI tools find the AI apps, agents and MCP servers employees use without approval, then score the risk. Most stop at visibility and alerts. Willow finds unmanaged MCPs, skills and AI clients on devices and in the browser, then gives employees a governed way to keep using them through one gateway.
MCP Gateways
An MCP gateway sits between AI agents and the tools they call. It authenticates every request, scopes which tools each agent can use, and logs every call. Most gateways only govern traffic that already flows through them. Willow also discovers the MCP servers, skills and agents running outside the gateway, then governs both.
