All things IAM
The speed differential between human decision-making and machine execution is creating a fundamental security asymmetry. AI agents can authenticate, request resources, execute actions, and cover their tracks in milliseconds—far faster…
AppViewX, a leading provider of machine identity and access management solutions, announced the acquisition of Eos—a strategic move that underscores the growing convergence between identity security and AI agent governance.…
A newly released identity exposure report from SpyCloud reveals a troubling trend: non-human identity theft is accelerating at an unprecedented pace. The 2026 report documents a massive explosion in compromised…
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…
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…
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 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 As enterprise environments become increasingly populated with AI agents, machine identities, and automated workloads, the traditional identity access management (IAM) stack is…
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…
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…
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…
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…
