Gravity Wiz vs Speakeasy

Speakeasy is an enterprise AI agent governance platform shipping at a high cadence — multiple minor versions per week. The current window covers two structural areas: MCP identity management (remote servers now declare User/Agent/No Identity modes, agents own their upstream accounts, wildcard workload admission for agent fleets) and enterprise directory integration (Slack as a work identity, directory group-to-role mapping). The risk policy engine gained scoped targeting for specific MCP servers and tools in the same release window.

Speakeasy is building the control plane for enterprise AI agent governance: making agents governable by the same tools that manage human employees — identity, directory sync, role assignment, risk policies, and audit trails. The workload assertion grant (a short-lived MCP session from a platform-issued identity token) is the primitive that makes agent fleets manageable at scale. Each release tightens the coupling between AI agent identity and enterprise identity providers (Slack, OIDC, directory groups).

The next material release will likely extend the Shadow AI scan's person-level visibility into policy actions (block/allow per person per tool), or introduce agent groups as a first-class concept analogous to directory groups — the wildcard workload admission is a precursor to that. Expect tighter Okta Cross App Access integration as that feature exits the readiness/preview stage.
