SMARE detects when agents act outside their approved business purpose or security boundaries, addressing a gap in traditional security controls that only verify credentials and permissions—not actual behavior.\n\nThe platform combines data from AI platforms, business applications, and cloud environments to evaluate agent actions against predefined **Design Intent**—purpose, expected actions, and data boundaries. SMARE identifies policy violations, unusual behavior, and behavioral drift while preserving evidence for compliance. It supports both SaaS deployment and on-premise integration, with Ebix providing industry expertise and enterprise integration. Intentyx’s founder Nitin Supekar noted the growing challenge of understanding AI agent activities as access expands, while Ebix CEO Gagan Sethi called agent governance a ‘major enterprise security category’ for 2027.","keyPoints":["SMARE detects AI agent behavior deviations from approved business purposes in regulated industries","Partnership combines intentyx’s behavioral security tech with Ebix’s industry expertise and integration","Platform available now as SaaS or on-premise, with evidence preservation for compliance investigations"],"whyItMatters":"SMARE fills a critical gap in AI governance as enterprises grant agents broader access to data and tools, risking unintended actions. Regulators and banks are tightening oversight, making behavioral monitoring essential for compliance and security.","category":{"slug":"enterprise","name":"Enterprise & Industry","url":"https://digestai.news/category/enterprise"},"entities":{"companies":["Ebix","intentyx"],"models":[],"people":["Gagan Sethi","Nitin Supekar"]},"firstPublishedAt":"2026-11-02T12:54:01Z","updatedAt":"2026-11-02T12:54:01Z","sourceCount":1,"hasPrimarySource":false,"sources":[{"outlet":"Unite.AI","title":"Ebix and Intentyx Launch SMARE to Track AI Agent Behavior","url":"https://unite.ai/ebix-and-intentyx-launch-smare-to-track-ai-agent-behavior","publishedAt":"2026-11-02T12:54:01Z","type":"press","primary":false,"lead":true}],"sourceNotes":null,"discussions":[],"thread":null,"cite":{"text":"Digest AI, \"Ebix and intentyx launch SMARE to monitor AI agent behavior in regulated industries\", 2 November 2026, https://digestai.news/story/ebix-and-intentyx-launch-smare-to-monitor-ai-agent-behavior-in-regulat","publisher":"Digest AI","title":"Ebix and intentyx launch SMARE to monitor AI agent behavior in regulated industries","datePublished":"2026-11-02T12:54:01Z","url":"https://digestai.news/story/ebix-and-intentyx-launch-smare-to-monitor-ai-agent-behavior-in-regulat"},"generatedBy":"Written by Digest AI's editorial model from the linked sources; the sources are the record.","license":"Headlines, digests and key points are written by Digest AI and may be quoted with a link to the story page.
