On stage at #VMwareExplore in Las Vegas, Purnima Padmanabhan announced AgentMinder by Broadcom—a new capability that assigns a distinct identity to every AI agent. By giving agents verifiable identities, organizations can apply granular roles, rules, and access controls just like they do for human users, while gaining full observability into how agents interact across the ecosystem. Deployed alongside your AI models within VMware Cloud Foundation (VCF), AgentMinder verifies agent intent and authenticates tool calls in real time before actions reach enterprise systems. This gives teams continuous governance and cost predictability while keeping sensitive data secure inside your private cloud infrastructure.
