Why Agent Control Planes Matter (and What One Actually Looks Like)

AI agents are shipping faster than most enterprises can govern them. Breaches continue to make headlines, showing exactly how far an agent can get once it's holding the wrong credentials with no guardrails in place to stop them. WSO2 Agent Manager 1.0, now generally available, is built to contain risks like these before they happen.

Join Dr. Rania Khalaf, Chief AI Officer at WSO2, and the WSO2 team for a look at why agent control planes have become their own category, not just an extension of API gateways, identity systems, or observability tools, and a hands-on look at how WSO2 Agent Manager brings these capabilities into a single system.

You'll hear more on:

• Why analysts like Forrester and Gartner are now treating agent control and governance as a distinct category, and what they agree it has to cover
• Why most agent programs stall in pilot, and why the reason is rarely the agent itself
• A live walkthrough of WSO2 Agent Manager: registering an agent, setting guardrail at the LLM and agent levels, scoring production readiness, and suspending a live agent in real time
• How a single system brings agent controls together, so a single fix can update LLM guardrails across every framework or stop an agent thrashing when needed

Whether you're standing up your first agent control plane or just trying to get existing pilots unstuck, you'll leave with a clear picture of what "governed" actually looks like in practice.
