# Configure AI agent containment using kill switch protocol manually {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia

![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Connect identity providers and hyperscalers to ServiceNow to let you contain and enforce guardrails for AI assets at runtime using kill switch protocol.

## Before you begin

Role required: AI steward \[sn_ai_governance.ai_steward\]

## About this task

To deactivate or reinstate an AI agent using kill switch protocol, you must have:

* A connection between ServiceNow and each hyperscaler that hosts governed AI assets. These connectors are supported:
  * AWS Bedrock
  * AWS Bedrock Agent Core
  * Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform (agents with unique identities only)
  * Azure AI Foundry
* A connection between ServiceNow and an identity provider is optional. Okta is supported.

## Procedure

1. In AI Control Tower, navigate to SettingsIntegrationsConnectorsControl Enforcement Points.
2. Select the connector from the Available connectors view and follow the guided setup wizard.  
   For more information, see [Configuring security connections](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/OTIhAUlCUSO44UMjFtqZpQ "Connect AI Control Tower to the platforms where your AI agents run and to your identity provider so that policies and AI agent containment using kill switch protocol can act on agents wherever they're hosted.").
3. After you set up connectors, navigate to the Control Enforcement Points tab and refresh the page.

## Result

You can now deactivate and reinstate AI agents using kill switch protocol. For more information, see [Contain AI agents manually using kill switch protocol](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/ydFgncmKX~gV64E4iWARPQ "Deactivate or reinstate AI agents using kill switch protocol to eliminate malicious activity and improve your security posture.").
