Introducing Duo Agentic Identity
Cisco has made a strategic move that signals where the security industry believes the next critical battleground lies: non-human identity. The company’s introduction of Duo Agentic Identity represents a fundamental…
Expert Consultant Details How to Secure the Machine Identity Attack Surface
The machine identity attack surface has become one of the most critical—and least visible—vulnerabilities in modern enterprises. While security teams obsess over user-focused attacks like phishing and credential stuffing, non-human…
Cloud PAM for AI Agents: Why Traditional PAM Can’t Protect Agentic Workloads
Privileged Access Management (PAM) solutions have protected human administrators for decades. But the arrival of AI agents and agentic workloads has exposed a fundamental gap in traditional PAM architecture. When…
Machine Identity Management Starts With Private PKI
Machine identity management has entered a critical new phase. Organizations can no longer afford to treat certificates, keys, and automated credentials as infrastructure afterthoughts. The emergence of sophisticated attack chains…
Cisco Secures Non-Human Identity Management with Astrix Acquisition
Cisco Secures Non-Human Identity Management with Astrix Acquisition As enterprise environments become increasingly populated with AI agents, machine identities, and automated workloads, the traditional identity access management (IAM) stack is…
Agentic Identity Governance: What Non-Human Identity Security Looks Like at Scale
Imagine an enterprise security program built from the ground up with non-human identities as a first-class concern. Not an afterthought. Not a feature requested in Q4. A core pillar equivalent…
Enumeration Without Friction: How AI Agents Are Redefining Reconnaissance and Lateral Movement
Traditional attackers need time. They conduct reconnaissance, map network topology, enumerate user accounts and group memberships, identify privilege escalation paths. These reconnaissance phases leave traces—logs, alerts, behavioral anomalies that security…
Privilege Inheritance at Machine Speed: Why AI Agents Are the New Supply Chain for Credential Sprawl
Service accounts. API keys. OAuth tokens. Container secrets. Each one a non-human identity, and each one growing like weeds in modern infrastructure. The problem isn’t that AI agents create new…
Breaking the Human-Centric IAM Model: Why AI Agents Demand a New Approach to Access Control
The IAM stack was built for humans. Humans who log in once per day. Humans who use predictable patterns. Humans who read terms of service and respect organizational policies. Artificial…
Cisco’s Astrix Acquisition: Why AI Agent Identity Governance Is Now a C-Suite Priority
Cisco’s acquisition of Astrix Security marks a pivotal moment for enterprises grappling with the explosion of non-human identities in modern infrastructure. As organizations deploy AI agents, large language models, and…
Credential Sprawl in the Age of AI Agents: Why Machine Identity Security Requires Secrets Management
An AI agent running in production generates secrets. Database credentials, API keys, OAuth tokens, SSH keys, encryption certificates—machine identities create credentials at rates and velocities that legacy secrets management tools…
Building Agentic Identity Governance: A Framework for Securing AI-Driven Systems
As AI agents become central to enterprise operations, security teams face an unprecedented challenge: how do you govern identities that don’t follow human rules? Traditional identity governance relies on organizational…
