Get AI Agents Into Production, Not Stuck in Security Review

Technical use cases
What Cygrid stops, at every stage of access
Pick a stage to see real situations: the risk, what Cygrid does and the result for your business.
01 · Before access is granted
When a new app, agent or admin asks for access.
02 · While access exists
When access that already exists drifts from policy.
03 · When an agent acts
When an AI agent makes a tool call.
Holds
Microsoft 365
‘Allow all’ consent held before first use
An employee grants a new AI app full Microsoft 365 access.
What Cygrid does
Holds the grant, scores it and re-issues it as a narrow, expiring scope before the app runs once.
The app works with only the access it needs, and the broad grant never goes live.
Holds
MCP servers
New MCP servers approved before they are callable
Teams connect new MCP servers to agents, and a server’s tools can change at any time.
What Cygrid does
Keeps a registry of approved servers with owner, provenance and version pin. If a server’s tools change, it is paused until re-reviewed.
Agents only call servers you have reviewed, even when a server changes.
Grants just in time
AI agents
Short-lived credentials instead of standing tokens
Agents keep personal access tokens in their environment, ready to be stolen.
What Cygrid does
Issues a scoped credential at the moment of use and lets it expire.
A leaked credential is useless, because it has already expired.
Grants just in time
GitHub, Google Workspace
Scoped admin instead of standing admin
Admins hold standing GitHub or Workspace admin rights they rarely use.
What Cygrid does
Removes standing admin and grants elevated access on request, for a limited time. A risk signal can end it early.
Fewer permanent admins, so a compromised account can do far less damage.
