Profet AI and Zentera Focus on Secure AI in Manufacturing

Profet AI and Zentera Systems have entered into a partnership to tackle a problem most manufacturers are only starting to notice. AI agents are getting deployed across production systems, but security has not kept up.

The collaboration brings together Profet AI’s Domain Twin platform and Zentera’s Ensage AI to build a zero-trust security layer around agent-based AI. Domain Twin is already used by more than 300 manufacturers across sectors like semiconductors, electronics, and advanced materials. It takes the tacit knowledge of engineers and turns it into reusable AI models that can run across production lines and factories.

Now with the expansion of AI agents through Profet AI’s AI Studio, the complexity increases. These agents are not working in isolation. They connect to databases, external models, and internal systems. That creates new entry points and risks that traditional security setups do not fully handle.

This is where Zentera comes in. Its Ensage AI applies zero-trust principles at the compute and network layers, focusing on controlling how agents interact with systems and data. The setup does not require major infrastructure changes, which matters in environments where downtime is not an option.

The combined solution focuses on three control points. External access to AI environments, connections to external tools and large language models, and access to sensitive internal systems. It also brings visibility into how agents communicate, which has been a blind spot so far.

For manufacturing, this is not just about security as a checkbox. These environments depend on low latency, strict data control, and uninterrupted operations. The ability to monitor and restrict AI behavior without breaking workflows becomes critical.

Zoom out and this is a sign of where things are heading. As AI agents move deeper into core operations, security has to shift from perimeter-based thinking to something more embedded and continuous.
