Zero Trust for Agentic AI — Identity is the control plane
AI agents decide, connect, and act on their own — at machine speed, across systems traditional controls can't see. Across AWS, the Cloud Security Alliance, and Okta, the consensus is the same: treat every agent as a first-class identity, governed continuously.

more non-human identities than human users in the average enterprise — and AI agents are the fastest-growing population of them

Discover & Register
Where are my agents?
Most enterprises can't produce an inventory of their AI agents. Shadow agents proliferate through OAuth grants and unsanctioned agent-builder platforms, creating an invisible identity layer existing tools weren't built to see. Find them, register them, and assign human ownership before they scale beyond control.
Control Access
What can they connect to?
Every MCP server, tool, API, app, and database an agent touches needs centralized policy. Replace long-lived tokens with short-lived credentials. Bind agent permissions to the user's existing access rights so an agent never exceeds what its human principal is authorized to do.
Govern & Contain
What can they do?
Every tool call, every authorization decision must be auditable and reversible. Run access reviews for agent identities the same way you do for humans. When something goes wrong, revoke every token instantly with a kill switch that works across the entire enterprise ecosystem.
