NetEase Zhiyi Unveils Agent Guard and External Security Control Plane for Enterprise AI Agents at WAIC 2026
At WAIC 2026 in Shanghai, NetEase Zhiyi presented its upgraded enterprise AI application services focused on security governance. The company introduced the concept of an independent external security control plane that acts like a brainstem for large models, handling rapid risk responses separate from the model's core reasoning. Key products include the Emperor Crab enterprise AI Agent platform and Agent Guard, which applies a four-step process of mapping, controlling, isolating, and terminating risky Agent behaviors. NetEase emphasizes that AI safety must shift from content compliance to behavioral control as Agents gain tool-calling and autonomous execution capabilities. The approach combines internal safety measures during model training with real-time perimeter protection at input, output, and execution layers. Market data from IDC projects the Chinese AI security market will grow from 44.1 billion RMB in 2025 to 340.3 billion RMB by 2030 at a 50.5% CAGR.
