All things IAM
Runtime security for autonomous AI agents is becoming a distinct requirement as organisations move beyond pilots. An AI agent may hold credentials, call APIs and make decisions across several systems…
The growing prominence of agentic AI and machine identity at major security events reflects a shift in how organisations must think about access. AI agents are no longer only experimental…
Machine identity is moving from a specialist security concern to a mainstream infrastructure market. Forecasts for machine identity management through 2034 reflect a simple operational reality: organisations now run more…
IAM was designed around a login that AI agents do not have Modern identity and access management is built around a familiar event: a person presents credentials, a system evaluates…
Machine identity security is moving to the front line Security programs have spent years strengthening authentication for employees, administrators and external users. Meanwhile, the credentials used by software have multiplied…
The identity population is no longer human-sized Every enterprise now depends on identities that do not belong to people. Applications, containers, service accounts, automation jobs, certificates and AI agents authenticate…
Machine identity needs a map of relationships As enterprises add APIs, cloud workloads and automated services, the number of non-human identities grows faster than the number of people responsible for…
Machine identity is often born as a shortcut Hard-coded credentials remain one of the quietest and most persistent risks in enterprise security. They are embedded in scripts, applications, deployment pipelines…
The integration of OT threat detection with machine identity security from Claroty and Corsha points to a growing requirement in federal environments: operational technology cannot be protected separately from the…
Runtime security is emerging as the decisive control point for autonomous AI agents. Lineation.ai’s focus on protecting agents while they operate reflects a gap in conventional IAM: an identity can…
Keyfactor’s expansion of its partner programme for machine identity and post-quantum services highlights how closely modern trust infrastructure is becoming tied to the non-human identity problem. Certificates, keys and cryptographic…
Many organisations have recognised that machine identities and service accounts require governance, yet NHI programmes still struggle to produce security outcomes. The central obstacle is often not a lack of…
