ai security

A five-part inventory for your AI agent credentials

Organizations deploy artificial intelligence (AI) agents that hold credentials and access to enterprise systems like HR, identity providers, ticketing, and payroll, yet these agent identities typically fall outside standard credential review processes. AI agents are approved through development studios and granted functional access to perform assigned work, but the underlying accounts and permissions lack the oversight applied to human identities. This creates a gap where AI agent credentials accumulate without documented inventory or regular security review.

Why it matters: Security teams and identity administrators need visibility into AI agent credentials across all enterprise tools to prevent unauthorized access, credential sprawl, and insider risk from misconfigured or compromised agents.
