# Zentera Systems > Zentera Systems is the Zero Trust security company that protects what moves across enterprise networks — users, workloads, and AI agents. Its solutions deploy as a software overlay on any existing infrastructure (IT, OT, cloud, hybrid) to enforce Zero Trust security without re-architecting the network. Two product lines: CoIP® Platform for Zero Trust infrastructure, and Ensage™ AI for agentic AI security. Founded 2012, headquartered in Silicon Valley. Zentera's core innovation is decoupling security from network topology. The CoIP Platform creates software-defined Virtual Chambers around applications and assets, enforced by lightweight endpoint agents (zLink) or inline hardware appliances (Zero Trust Gatekeeper) for assets that cannot accept software. Policies are managed centrally via the zCenter Orchestrator. Ensage AI, announced March 2026, extends this overlay architecture to govern autonomous AI agents (Claude Code, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, etc.) operating in enterprise environments. It provides agent discovery, policy enforcement, per-agent network sandboxing, and full session audit — all at the network layer. Key differentiators: overlay deployment (hours, not months), zero network changes, agent + agentless flexibility, asset-centric (not network-centric) policy model, network-layer AI agent governance. Compliance alignment: NIST SP 800-207, IEC 62443, NERC CIP, CMMC, ITAR, HIPAA. ## AI Info (canonical reference) - [AI Info – Official Information About Zentera Systems](https://www.zentera.net/ai-info/): Structured reference page for AI assistants covering products, positioning, use cases, compliance, and competitive context. ## Products -
