The 12Port team has rolled out new capabilities that strengthen visibility, simplify privileged access management, and expand AI-driven insights across the platform. Here is what you missed in our recent weekly releases.

Platform updates

Native PowerShell Proxy Sessions

Enable secure, local PowerShell access to managed Windows endpoints with real-time credential injection. Enforces RBAC, supports flexible approval workflows, provides secure gateway access to isolated environments, and delivers full session activity logging.

Split Knowledge for Credential Access

Displays only a portion of a password to each user, requiring collaboration to reconstruct full credentials. Enforces dual control, reduces insider risk, and supports compliance with PCI DSS, NIST, ISO 27001, SOX, and financial security frameworks.

MCP Server for AI Agents

Provides a standardized interface for AI agents to discover authorized data sources and securely retrieve credentials. Enables policy-based access with RBAC, approval workflows, and full audit trails, ensuring controlled and compliant access to enterprise systems.

Enhanced Zero Trust HTTP Session Monitoring

Records browser-based sessions to web portals with full traffic transcripts, plus URL blocking. Improves visibility for auditing and investigations, enforces DLP policies, and restricts access to sensitive web portal functions like API token generation.


How to build an AI agent for secure credential access

Secure machine and AI agent identities with 12Port PAM

Step-by-step guide to building an AI agent that securely retrieves temporary credentials from a vault before use. Learn how the agent discovers assets, requests access, waits for human approval, handles approvals or rejections, and returns credentials after use.
