Features of Prefactor

Real-Time Agent Monitoring & Dashboard

Gain complete operational visibility across your entire agent infrastructure! See every agent in real-time—track which ones are active, idle, or need attention. Monitor what resources they're accessing and pinpoint where failures emerge instantly, allowing you to prevent small issues from cascading into major incidents. All this powerful insight is centralized in one intuitive control plane dashboard, giving your team unparalleled situational awareness!

Compliance-Ready Audit Trails

Transform cryptic API logs into clear, business-context narratives that stakeholders and auditors love! Prefactor's audit logs don't just record technical events; they translate every agent action into understandable language. When compliance asks "what did the agent do?", you can generate audit-ready reports in minutes, not weeks, with clear answers that withstand rigorous regulatory scrutiny in industries like finance, healthcare, and mining!

Identity-First Access Control

Apply proven human governance principles to your AI workforce! With Prefactor, every agent gets a unique, first-class identity. Every action is authenticated, and every permission is scoped precisely using fine-grained role and attribute controls. Manage access through policy-as-code and automate permissions in your CI/CD pipeline, ensuring secure, delegated access that scales effortlessly with your agent deployments!

Emergency Kill Switches & Cost Tracking

Maintain ultimate human-in-the-loop control and financial oversight! Prefactor provides immediate emergency kill switches to halt any agent activity instantly, a critical feature for safe operations. Simultaneously, track agent compute costs across different providers directly within the platform. Identify expensive patterns, optimize spending, and ensure your agent operations are both secure and cost-effective!

Use Cases of Prefactor

Scaling AI Pilots in Regulated Finance

Banks and fintech companies can finally move AI agent projects from internal demos to live production! Prefactor provides the immutable audit trails, real-time monitoring, and granular access controls required by financial regulators. Answer compliance questions instantly and demonstrate clear oversight over every autonomous decision, unlocking innovation without compromising on security or regulatory requirements!

Ensuring Safety & Auditability in Healthcare Tech

Deploy AI agents that handle sensitive patient data or assist in clinical workflows with full confidence! Prefactor's robust identity management and business-context audit logs ensure all agent actions are traceable and justified. This enables healthcare technology companies to meet strict HIPAA and other privacy standards while leveraging cutting-edge AI to improve patient outcomes and operational efficiency!

Managing Autonomous Systems in Heavy Industries

For mining, energy, and manufacturing companies using agents for logistics, safety, or operational planning, Prefactor is a game-changer! It offers the robust, failsafe governance needed where "move fast and break things" isn't an option. The control plane ensures every autonomous action is authorized, monitored, and can be overridden immediately, integrating safety and compliance directly into the agent lifecycle!

Unifying Governance Across Multiple AI Frameworks

Development teams using a mix of LangChain, CrewAI, AutoGen, and custom agent frameworks can centralize their governance! Prefactor integrates seamlessly, providing a single pane of glass for identity, policy, and audits across all your AI tools. This eliminates fragmented security efforts and allows you to deploy new agent types in hours, not months, with consistent enterprise-grade controls from day one!

Frequently Asked Questions

What is an AI Agent Control Plane?

Think of it as the mission control center for your autonomous AI workforce! Just like you need tools to manage and secure human employees in your systems, an AI Agent Control Plane like Prefactor is essential for governing AI agents. It provides the foundational infrastructure for identity, access control, real-time monitoring, and auditability, ensuring your agents operate safely, compliantly, and efficiently at scale.

How does Prefactor handle authentication for agents?

Prefactor moves beyond basic M2M (machine-to-machine) tokens, which are insufficient for dynamic agents! It provides each AI agent with a first-class, auditable identity using interoperable OAuth 2.0 and OpenID Connect (OIDC) standards. This enables dynamic client registration, delegated access controls, and fine-grained permissions, creating a robust, standards-based authentication and authorization layer that integrates with your existing identity providers.

Is Prefactor built for large enterprises?

Absolutely! Prefactor is engineered from the ground up for the demands of regulated enterprises in sectors like banking, healthcare, and critical infrastructure. It delivers SOC 2–ready security frameworks, human-delegated control points, and audit trails designed to withstand regulatory scrutiny. It helps large organizations align security, engineering, and compliance teams, turning complex agent governance into a scalable, manageable process.

Can I integrate Prefactor with my existing AI agent frameworks?

Yes, and it's designed to be incredibly simple! Prefactor works seamlessly with popular frameworks like LangChain, CrewAI, and AutoGen, as well as custom-built agent systems. The platform is integration-ready, allowing your team to plug in and start gaining visibility and control in hours, not months. This means you can adopt robust governance without rebuilding your existing AI agent architecture.
