Why the Race to Autonomous IRM Has No Front-Runner

Salesforce’s AIforce is the second AI agent control plane from a major platform vendor, and it stops where ServiceNow’s AI Control Tower stops. Each governs its own agents well. Neither audits whether an agent’s work was accurate and complete, neither measures results against the customer’s risk appetite, and neither reaches agents on a competitor’s platform.
