All things IAM
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…
AI agents are moving from experimental assistants to operational systems that can call APIs, modify records and trigger workflows without a human approving every step. Okta’s reported $200 million investment…
Financial institutions are moving toward AI-enabled operations while managing strict requirements for confidentiality, resilience and auditability. A practical guide to AI-ready machine identity governance in finance highlights why the foundation…
The non-human identity crisis is becoming a governance problem before it becomes a purely technical one. Machine identities now include service accounts, workload credentials, secrets, automation tokens and AI agents.…
“Solving the Identity Crisis for AI Agents” captures a problem that is moving from research discussion into everyday engineering. AI agents can plan tasks, call tools and coordinate across services,…
Estonia’s intention to recognize AI agents with digital IDs points to a significant change in how digital societies may define participation. If an AI agent can act on behalf of…
