Key Takeaways

  • Kompingo will distribute Reco’s AI agent and application security portfolio across the UK and EMEA.
  • The agreement gives channel partners access to technology for discovering AI agents, SaaS identities, permissions, and related risks.
  • Partner education, enablement, events, and strategic introductions will form a central part of the companies’ market expansion.

Kompingo has signed a distribution agreement with Reco covering the UK and EMEA, adding the vendor’s Agent Security and application security technology to its channel portfolio. The agreement broadens regional access to a platform designed to discover and govern AI agents, SaaS applications, identities, and permissions across enterprise environments.

The deal comes as businesses introduce tools such as Microsoft Copilot, Salesforce Agentforce, and ChatGPT into everyday workflows. Some deployments are centrally managed. Others emerge when departments or individual employees connect third-party applications without involving security teams. That fragmented adoption can make it difficult to establish which agents are active, what information they can access, and whose credentials they use.

Reco addresses this fragmentation by giving security teams a consolidated view of an organisation’s broader agent and application ecosystem, rather than examining each application in isolation. The technology is intended to uncover hidden risks, monitor identities and permissions, and provide controls for autonomous activity.

According to IT Europa, Kompingo will handle Reco’s portfolio for partners throughout the region. The two companies plan to work together on channel enablement, brand awareness, educational content, in-person events, and strategic introductions.

That partner-led approach matters. AI agent security is still a relatively new category, and prospective customers may not yet have a defined budget or procurement process for it. Resellers and managed service providers will need to explain how agent discovery differs from conventional endpoint, identity, and SaaS security, while also showing where the technologies overlap.

An AI agent functions differently than a traditional endpoint. It can interact with multiple applications, call external services, use human or machine identities, and take actions based on changing instructions. If permissions are overly broad, the resulting exposure can extend across several systems. The question of who owns that risk, the application team, security operations, identity administrators, or the business unit deploying the agent, remains unclear in many organisations.

Reco’s own State of Agent Security 2026 findings, reported by Business Insider, stated that 80% of AI tools operate without IT oversight. As a vendor-sponsored finding, it should be viewed in that context, but it illustrates the governance gap Reco and Kompingo are targeting.

Reco launched its enterprise agent security proposition earlier in 2026, with IT Brief UK describing its focus on AI-related risk as it expands its international route to market.

For Kompingo, the addition provides a way to address an emerging security requirement before the category becomes crowded with overlapping claims. It also creates potential opportunities for partners already delivering identity, SaaS security, managed detection and response, or governance services. Reco could sit alongside those offerings rather than replacing them outright.

“SaaS applications have transformed the way organisations operate, but they’ve also introduced an entirely new security challenge,” said the director at Kompingo. “Reco gives organisations the visibility and context they need to confidently secure their agent and application ecosystems, from identities and permissions to embedded AI agents.”

The director added that Reco’s work around AI agent security and its market recognition made it an exciting addition to the Kompingo portfolio, with both businesses now looking to build awareness across the UK and EMEA.

Still, distribution alone does not create demand. Partners will need practical demonstrations, integration guidance, commercial packaging, and clear examples of the risks Reco can identify. Educational content and events could therefore prove just as important as product availability.

The timing aligns with broader market shifts. Gartner predicts that 40% of enterprise applications will include task-specific AI agents by the end of 2026, up from less than 5% in 2025. As that shift gathers pace, visibility into agent identities, privileges, and cross-application activity is likely to become a more prominent part of enterprise security planning. Kompingo and Reco are betting that the channel will play a substantial role in turning that concern into operational controls.
