Securing AI: Policy enforcement within Google Cloud Agent Gateway

April 26, 2026

AI agents don’t move data in the same way applications do. They generate it, reason across it, summarize it, route it, and act upon it—often across service boundaries your existing controls were never designed to see. As agentic workloads become core infrastructure in the cloud, the question isn’t whether sensitive data will flow through them. It’s whether your DLP policies will be there when it does.

Securing the AI Pipeline

At Google Cloud Next 2026, Google announced Agent Gateway as part of the Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform, a new service designed to govern and secure AI agent traffic. Netskope is proud to be among the first partners to bring this integration to market. Netskope One DLP On Demand can now be invoked inline with Agent Gateway, inspecting traffic at the precise moment data moves through your AI workloads and enforcing the data security policies your team has already built.

This isn’t a bolt-on or a perimeter workaround. It’s DLP enforced at the Google Cloud layer, inside the AI pipeline itself.

 

What this integration means for your security posture

Visibility: real-time pipeline inspection

Get full visibility into potential policy violations, with Netskope One DLP scanning all data that traverses the Google Cloud Agent Gateway.

Enforcement: active data safeguarding

Move beyond visibility by configuring protective actions to block or alert about sensitive data in motion, enforced at the Google Cloud layer.

Efficiency: one policy plane

Automatically leverage the DLP policies and classifiers you’ve already tuned in Netskope One. Extend HIPAA and GDPR compliance policies into your AI ecosystem without needing to create new configurations, or duplicate management for profiles and incidents.

Readiness: AI-native governance

As AI agents proliferate inside Google Cloud, help your data governance keep pace, inspecting agentic traffic as naturally as any other data flow.

 

DLP On Demand: built for shift-left security in the AI era

This latest Google / Netskope integration is made possible by developments from both companies.

Netskope One DLP On Demand integrates data protection directly into custom applications and workloads via REST APIs. It was designed to embed data loss prevention into any workflow, service, or ecosystem, not wrap around it from the outside. Using this API capability, the Google Cloud Agent Gateway integration is the latest in a growing library of integrations that bring Netskope One DLP into the workloads where your data actually lives: AI agent pipelines, cloud-native development workflows, and partner data exchanges.

From Google, it is the Service Extensions framework that has made this possible. Service Extensions enable the users of Google Cloud products to insert custom code directly into the data path. Other Netskope services already make use of this capability, extending our data security protections within the applications and services our customers are adopting.

This latest integration is further demonstration that Netskope continues to ensure data security evolves in lockstep with customers’ cloud and AI architecture, not behind it.
