Docker AI Governance: Unlock Agent Autonomy, Safely

Docker is launching Docker AI Governance, a centralized control plane for managing how AI agents execute in developer environments. It addresses the security gap created by agents running on developer laptops with access to credentials, private repos, and production APIs outside traditional enterprise security perimeters. The solution enforces policy across four surfaces: network/filesystem (via microVM sandboxes), credential governance, MCP tool access control, and role-based policy assignment. Policies are defined once in an admin console and automatically propagated to all environments — laptops, CI runners, and production clusters — using the same runtime. Every policy evaluation generates audit logs exportable to SIEM systems, giving CISOs the visibility needed to approve AI agent usage at scale.
