Workday and Cisco turn agent identity into an enterprise control point

Workday's Agent Passport is a direct answer to the enterprise question: who verifies an AI agent before it touches HR, finance, or IT workflows? Workday says the system tests and verifies every AI agent before production and continuously monitors it afterward. Cisco is the launch partner, bringing Cisco AI Defense to test agents against security standards and protect them at runtime from prompt injection, data leakage, jailbreaks, and unsafe actions. This is a company announcement, but it is highly relevant because it links agent identity, governance, and runtime security inside systems of record. It also follows the earlier Workday-Google permissions story already in the feed, showing that agent governance is becoming a product line.
