All things IAM
An agent-focused access management launch reflects a growing reality: AI agents require controls designed around autonomous behavior. Unlike a conventional application, an agent may interpret goals, select tools and execute…
Machine identity management is becoming foundational to IAM as applications, workloads, APIs and AI agents multiply. A mixed estate of people and machines requires consistent lifecycle control. A machine identity…
AI agents are moving from pilots into workflows that can read data, make decisions and execute actions. That turns the security discussion from model safety alone to identity safety. An…
AI agents are rapidly changing the enterprise identity estate. A reported 76% increase in non-human identities shows that security teams can no longer treat this as a future architecture concern.…
ConductorOne’s expansion of agentic security capabilities for machine identity governance reflects a broader change in enterprise access management. AI agents are moving from experimental assistants to operational actors, and their…
Okta’s reported $200 million bet on identity threat detection for AI agents signals a shift in how enterprises are defining the machine identity problem. AI agents are no longer limited…
Non-human identity programs are increasingly stalling for a practical reason: organizations can write policies faster than they can discover and observe the identities those policies are meant to protect. The…
Runtime security for autonomous AI agents is becoming a distinct requirement because identity controls applied at login cannot explain everything an agent does afterward. An agent may authenticate correctly, receive…
The rapid growth of non-human identities is creating an uncomfortable imbalance: machines already outnumber people in many enterprise environments, while security processes remain centered on human users. The arrival of…
Operational technology (OT) and information technology (IT) have historically lived in separate identity worlds. IT networks authenticate humans and services through directory services, password managers, and API gateways. OT networks…
Traditional identity models assume that once a user or service is authenticated and authorized, the system trusts them to act within declared boundaries. A human employee with access to the…
AI agents are becoming operational actors within enterprise systems. They approve expenses, route network traffic, adjust infrastructure in real time, and make autonomous decisions affecting business outcomes. Yet security frameworks…
