Zenity secures ChatGPT Enterprise use with expanded AI oversight
The integration allows organisations using ChatGPT Enterprise to secure and govern the adoption, development, and usage of AI agents within the platform through the OpenAI ChatGPT Enterprise Compliance API.
Zenity's platform now provides security teams with oversight not only for ChatGPT's existing collaborative features, such as knowledge file uploads and Canvas, but also for the custom AI agents created by employees. The growing use of ChatGPT Enterprise in enterprise workflows is prompting new security considerations as users build, host, and collaborate with bespoke GPTs that may access sensitive data.
Over 80% of Fortune 500 companies have adopted ChatGPT Enterprise within the nine months since its launch, according to Zenity. As these organisations expand their use of agentic AI, security teams are increasingly tasked with maintaining visibility, control, and compliance across a wider range of activities.
Zenity's approach centres on agent-level security, focusing on what each AI agent is designed and permitted to do, the data it accesses, the identities it adopts, and its communications with other agents in an organisation.
The integration with the ChatGPT Enterprise Compliance API allows Zenity's platform to provide continuous observability of custom GPTs, Canvas documents, tools, knowledge files, and user interactions across the enterprise environment.
Security measures are enforced from the initial stages of agent development. Zenity's policy enforcement, identity controls, and its AI Security Posture Management (AISPM) capability enable discovery of vulnerabilities, excessive permissions, and hardcoded secrets during GPT creation.
Ongoing threat detection is supported by Zenity's behaviour-based engine. The platform can identify threats such as prompt injection, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) poisoning, data exposure, and unauthorised actions using its AI Detection & Response (AIDR) system.
Zenity also provides automated policy enforcement and allows security teams to remediate risks at scale using actions such as deleting risky agents, files, or conversations through its click-to-fix options.
The entire AI agent lifecycle, from build time to runtime, falls under the platform's governance. Zenity's integration aims to balance robust security with business agility for organisations advancing their use of AI.
Commenting on the announcement, Ben Kliger, Co-Founder and CEO of Zenity, said: "Adoption of ChatGPT Enterprise is accelerating, and with it comes a new responsibility for security teams to guide its safe, effective use across the organization. This integration with the ChatGPT Enterprise Compliance API is an important step forward in helping security leaders manage risk without slowing innovation. Securing AI Agents for some of the largest enterprises in the world, we are proud to expand our capabilities as the first and only end-to-end platform, spanning buildtime to runtime across environments, to help define AI Agent security and governance experiences for ChatGPT Enterprise users, and provide the foundation security teams need to lead innovation in their organizations with confidence."
Zenity's extension of capabilities arrives as industry analysts highlight autonomous AI—agentic AI— as a significant trend affecting workplaces by 2025, with a predicted increase in routine decision-making handled by AI agents. Security firms such as Zenity are responding to this trend by offering solutions that allow companies to capitalise on the efficiency gains of AI while managing associated risks.

Realizing AI can make us dumber. So what now?
technology life and society about 1 hour ago Wall Street Journal tech reporter Sam Schechner says he first suspected artificial intelligence was eating his brain when he used ChatGPT to help write an email to his son's basketball coach. He lives in Paris, and speaks fluent French, but Schechner started asking AI for help with emails, summarizing legal documents, even texting friends. Soon French words didn't come as easily when effort was optional and mental concentration was offloaded to AI. He writes about his experience in a piece for The Wall Street Journal titled How I Realized AI Was Making Me Stupid-and What I Do Now.

If New Zealand wants productivity gains, it must close its AI divide
Much like steam once powered factories, artificial intelligence (AI) is now fuelling the next leap in human productivity. The Government has signalled its intention to harness technology and AI to boost productivity across both the public and private sectors. Yet, the data tells a more sobering story. According to Stats NZ, labour productivity in New Zealand lags behind the OECD average - shrinking by 0.9% in the year to March 2024, while the OECD average rose 1.2%. We are falling behind at a time when the global economy is accelerating. New Zealand's productivity needs urgent intervention and AI is a critical part of the solution. Research from Accenture shows that generative AI can drive efficiency gains of up to 30% and reduce costs by 20%. Companies that successfully embed generative AI into their operations while investing in data, technology, and talent can expect significant returns in top-line productivity. But there's a catch: New Zealand businesses aren't ready. Digital maturity is a key indicator of AI readiness, and our latest research shows 40% of companies in Australia and New Zealand sit in the bottom quarter globally. There are promising signs. Government and local government initiatives such as the Auckland Technology Alliance, AI Activator, Elevate, and GovGPT demonstrate a growing commitment to responsible AI integration, aligned with OECD principles. Finance Minister Nicola Willis announced increased funding for tech startups through the Elevate venture fund. If these investments are directed toward high-potential companies, they could trigger a steep improvement in productivity. Minister for Technology Judith Collins recently stated the need to increase awareness and adoption of AI to ensure we keep pace globally. "It is crucial businesses are supported to improve their awareness and uptake of AI, so they can capitalise on the benefits," she said. She's right. But to get there, we need to build strong digital foundations first. Build the digital core AI doesn't operate in a vacuum. It depends on a modern digital backbone - cloud infrastructure, clean and accessible data, and agile operating models. This is what we call the digital core. At Accenture, we advocate for a 360-degree approach: modernising systems, reducing technology debt, upskilling employees, ensuring inclusivity and diversity, and prioritising sustainability. There is no one-size-fits-all model, but these are non-negotiables. The payoff is real. When we implemented generative AI across our sales teams, we saw a 35% lift in productivity. Across our client base, "reinvention-ready" companies, those that have invested in becoming digitally mature, are seeing productivity improvements up to 240% greater than their peers. AI opens global doors AI and digital tools also allow Kiwi businesses to scale internationally without the burden of physical expansion. According to Accenture's Emerging Market Consumer Report, one billion new consumers will enter the global market by 2035 in regions like India, Nigeria, and Indonesia. Yet 40% of global consumer brands are still absent from these markets. There is real potential for companies and innovative products to make a bigger impact on the global stage, by selectively expanding into markets that have rich potential, and digitally taking New Zealand products and services to the consumers in those markets, we can dramatically increase our output internationally. Gen AI will reshape every business Through its ability to collect, analyse and interpret vast amounts of data, applied Artificial Intelligence is already helping compress the timeframes and resources previously needed to make strategic business decisions. With the continued innovation in the technology and AI sector every role in every business has the potential to be reinvented. Applied AI is already compressing decision-making timelines and transforming operations. Every role in every industry is being reshaped. Yet New Zealand is significantly lagging in Digital Maturity according to a recent xxx report. While this has shifted over recent years with increased funding in the technology sector, and the continued release of new AI tools, too many companies are still reliant on manual, paper-based systems that reduce productivity and hinder innovation. To compete, Cut the tech debt Outdated IT systems are a major barrier to progress, draining capital and delaying transformation. Building a strong, cloud-based digital core, powered by AI and quality data, is essential to unlocking productivity. At Accenture NZ, operating 85% in the cloud has significantly boosted our own productivity by reducing costs and complexity. Build a workforce that can lead with tech Technology is only half the equation. People are the other half. Every dollar spent on digital tools should be matched by investment in skills and capability. According to a joint study between Microsoft and Accenture, employees could save nearly an hour every day or 275 hours a year through generative AI. This is projected to add $76 billion to New Zealand's GDP by 2038. 14% of tasks could be automated and 26% of tasks gen AI could act as a co-pilot. That's not about replacing jobs it's about augmenting them. AI gives employees superpowers: enabling them to focus on strategic, higher-value work. That matters in a country where 1 in 10 workers feel overqualified for their role. To stay competitive, we must invest in widespread digital upskilling - today, not tomorrow. Robin Sharma once said, "Don't confuse activity with productivity. Many people are simply busy being busy." New Zealand can't afford to be busy being busy. To reverse our productivity slide, we must build the foundations for AI, accelerate digital maturity, and empower our people to lead in a tech-driven world. The window of opportunity is open. We must step through it.
