The Agent Smith Dilemma: Governing Agentic Identities

Autonomous artificial intelligence (AI) agents deployed within enterprises function as new proxy identities that operate inside an organization's security perimeter. The article explores governance challenges associated with managing these agentic identities in enterprise environments.

Why it matters: Security teams and identity administrators must develop governance frameworks and access controls for AI agents operating within their networks, as these autonomous systems introduce new identity and access management complexities that current identity controls may not adequately address.
