Citizen Development Security | Guardrails Without Slowdowns
Citizen Development Security That Keeps Up With the Business
Business users are building apps, automations, and AI agents fast. But speed without security creates shadow IT, over-permissioned workflows, and ungoverned AI agents. Zenity gives you visibility and control across every platform to enable secure citizen development at scale with policy enforcement, real-time monitoring, and continuous compliance built in.
