AvePoint NASDAQ: AVPT executives highlighted the company's focus on data security, governance and resilience—particularly for unstructured data—while discussing how the rise of AI agents is shaping product strategy, licensing, and customer demand. The company's new 'AgentPulse' technology aims to provide a 'trust layer' for organizations to set policies, monitor activity, and apply governance and security controls over their internally built AI agents.

Why it matters

As enterprises increasingly adopt AI agents to automate tasks and decision-making, there is a growing need for robust governance and control mechanisms to ensure these systems operate securely and in alignment with organizational policies. AvePoint's AgentPulse offering positions the company as a key provider of this 'trust layer' for enterprise AI.

The details

AvePoint's Chief Strategy Officer Mario Carvajal described AgentPulse as part of the company's broader 'Confidence Platform,' allowing customers to set policies, monitor activity, and apply governance and security controls over their AI agents. The company sees this as a key growth opportunity, with AI agents changing software licensing models and creating new customer demands around identity, access, and policy management.
