- 오토메이션 애니웨어, ‘엔터프라이즈클로’ 공개…자율 AI 에이전트 통제·보안 강화 나선다
지난해 11월 등장한 자율 에이전트 오케스트레이션 도구 ‘오픈클로(OpenClaw)’는 출시 직후 빠르게 확산됐지만, 동시에 심각한 결함도 곧 발견됐다. 그럼에도 불구하고 이는 에이전트형 AI 시대의 중요한 전환점이 됐으며, 이후 기업들은 자율 에이전트를 안전하고 안정적으로 운영할 수 있는 방안을 지속적으로 모색해 왔다. 이에 오토메이션 애니웨어(Automation Anywhere)는 시스코, 엔비디아, 옥타, 오픈AI와 협력해 ‘엔터프라이즈클로(EnterpriseClaw)’를 공개하며 해법을 제시했다. 오토메이션 애니웨어는 해당 플랫폼이 데스크톱, 클라우드, 방화벽 내부 네트워크, 온프레미스 환경 전반에 걸쳐 자율 AI 에이전트를 배포하면서도 중앙 집중식 제어와 접근 관리, 가시성을 유지할 수 있도록 지원한다고 밝혔다 . 핵심 업무 자동화 기능 제공 엔터프라이즈클로는 오토메이션 애니웨어의 ‘프로세스 추론 엔진(PRE)’과 ‘컨텍스추얼 인텔리전스 그래프’를 기반으로 설계돼 기업의 핵심 업무를 자동화한다. 또한 시스코 AI 디펜스 및 디펜스클로를 통한 AI 에이전트 전용 보안 기능, 엔비디아의 오픈소스 런타임 ‘오픈셸(OpenShell)’, NIM 마이크로서비스 및 네모트론 모델, 옥타의 에이전트 간 통합 아이덴티티 및 인증 관리 기능과도 연동된다. 아울러 오픈클로와 오픈AI의 협력을 통해 GPT-5.5와 같은 최신 모델도 활용할 수 있다. 인포테크 리서치 그룹의 수석 연구 디렉터 마니시 제인 은 “오픈클로와 관련된 불신과 보안 우려가 엔터프라이즈클로 출시에서 구체적으로 다뤄졌다”라며 “엔비디아, 오픈AI, 옥타, 시스코 간 협력은 신뢰 가능한 인프라와 아이덴티티, 보안 계층 구축 측면에서 신뢰도를 높인다”고 말했다. 오토메이션 애니웨어에 따르면 이 플랫폼은 방화벽 내부의 관리형 컨테이너에서 에이전트를 병렬로 실행할 수 있도록 지원하며, 파일·애플리케이션·브라우저·터미널에 대한 로컬 접근도 제공한다. 또한 에이전트 간 작업을 넘기고 결과를 결합함으로써 개별 작업

At Agentforce World Tour Mumbai, Salesforce tried to make a larger point - the next enterprise may not be built only around applications, dashboards and human users. It may be built around humans, AI agents, data, workflows and platforms working together. That is a big shift for a company whose identity has long been tied to customer relationship management. The CRM story is no longer only about maintaining records of customers, leads, service tickets or campaigns. In the agentic AI era, Salesforce is trying to expand that idea into something more ambitious- a system where customer context can be understood, acted upon and carried across functions. The event, held in Mumbai, was positioned around the idea of building and leading as an “agentic enterprise”.
