### What is Barndoor

Barndoor is a centralized control plane purpose-built for managing Agentic AI. It enables organizations to confidently adopt AI agents across the enterprise — with the assurance that every action is monitored, every request is evaluated, and every agent operates within policy.

With Barndoor, governance isn't just reactive — it's intelligent and continuous.
