Kompingo Partners with 1stProtect to Bring AI Agent Runtime Security to the UK and EMEA Channel

1stProtect x Kompingo · Press Announcement

London, UK - Kompingo announces a strategic partnership with 1stProtect, the AI Agent Control Company focused on securing autonomous software at the point of execution.

The partnership expands Kompingo’s cybersecurity portfolio with runtime security capabilities designed to help partners and organisations across the UK define and enforce what AI agents can access and do.

As organisations adopt autonomous AI tools for development, operations and business workflows, traditional permissions can give software agents more authority than they need. An agent operating within a legitimate user session may be able to access credentials, execute commands or interact with sensitive production systems even when those actions were never intended.

1stProtect addresses this challenge by applying action-level policy on the endpoint or workload where an AI agent operates. Its controls evaluate the actor, attempted action and resource context, allowing organisations to permit approved activity while blocking unauthorised access or execution. The approach complements existing endpoint detection, identity and security operations investments rather than replacing them.

In June 2026, 1stProtect announced the general availability of AgentProtect, its runtime enforcement offering for autonomous AI agents. The company also announced a distribution agreement in Japan in October 2026, reflecting its expanding international channel activity.

Through the partnership, Kompingo and 1stProtect plan to collaborate on partner enablement, awareness campaigns, in-person events and strategic introductions, helping resellers and MSPs address emerging risks associated with AI adoption.

The partnership reflects Kompingo’s commitment to connecting the channel with innovative cybersecurity technologies that help organisations adapt to new threats and operate securely as AI adoption accelerates.
