Compare AI agent security, action by action.
Most vendors now cover the basics: discovery, credentials, policy and audit. The difference is the chain from a person to each action, and whether a captured call can run twice.
Hawcx vs the alternatives
Side by side with the AI agent security vendors teams evaluate most, from their public materials.
Hawcx vs Microsoft Entra Agent IDHawcx works with Entra, then adds proof on every action.
Hawcx vs KeycardBoth broker credentials at runtime. Only Hawcx roots them in a person.
Hawcx vs AembitBoth issue scoped credentials. Only Hawcx proves who delegated each call.
Hawcx vs DescopeBoth start from a person. Only Hawcx makes every call single-use.
Hawcx vs SilverfortBoth enforce at runtime. Only Hawcx carries proof from person to action.
Hawcx vs Oasis SecurityBoth govern agent identities. Only Hawcx proves who authorized each action.
Hawcx vs NewCoreBoth root agents in a person. Only Hawcx carries that proof to every action.Three questions, every comparison
Each page checks the same nine capabilities. These three decide whether an agent’s action can be traced to a person, and whether it can run twice.
Who authorized this action?
A person who signed in with a phishing-resistant credential, or an account that happens to own the agent?
Does the proof travel with each call?
Proof of delegation on every action, or a token that covers a whole session?
Can a captured call run twice?
A one-time grant for each tool call, or a credential that stays valid until it expires?
FAQs
How does Hawcx compare with other AI agent security vendors?
Most vendors now cover the basics: discovery, credentials, authentication, policy, runtime enforcement and audit. Hawcx is the one that carries cryptographic proof from a person to every action: a phishing-resistant sign-in at the root, proof of delegation on each action, and a single-use grant for every tool call.
How do you build these comparisons?
From each vendor’s public materials, as of September 2026, against the same nine capabilities on every page. If something has changed, tell us and we will review it.
Does Hawcx replace Microsoft Entra ID or Okta?
No. Hawcx works with Microsoft Entra ID, Okta or any identity provider. Your directory stays the source of who your people are. Hawcx roots each agent in the person it works for and adds proof on every action.
Can I see the replay test?
Yes. In a demo we capture an authorized tool call and replay it against Hawcx. The replay fails, because the call’s grant was already used. Book a demo and bring a tool call of your own.
