Workday Launches Agent Passport with Cisco and Zero-Copy AWS Data Cloud
WDAY•Workday launched Agent Passport with Cisco to independently test and monitor AI agents against NIST AI RMF and MITRE ATLAS, with H2 2026 early access and year-end availability. It also introduced bi-directional zero-copy Workday Data Cloud integration with AWS for governed HR and finance data access via Amazon Bedrock.
1. Agent Passport Enables Independent AI Agent Security
Workday’s Agent Passport provides security teams with signed, auditable attestations tied to public standards such as NIST AI RMF and MITRE ATLAS. Cisco AI Defense serves as the launch partner, conducting independent tests for vulnerabilities like prompt injection, data leakage and jailbreaks, while real-time monitoring allows automatic revocation or restriction of compromised agents. Early access begins in the second half of 2026, with general availability by year-end.
2. Zero-Copy AWS Data Cloud Integration
The new integration offers bi-directional, zero-copy access between AWS data and Workday’s governed HR and finance data layer, eliminating the need for custom pipelines or data duplication. Developers can point AWS services such as Amazon Bedrock directly at Workday Data Cloud, leveraging built-in business logic, security context and audit controls. This capability is entering early access now, with broader rollout planned later in 2026.
