Orchid Security targets AI agent risk with drift detection and kill switches

Orchid Security launched identity drift detection and application-level kill switches designed to manage artificial intelligence (AI) agent risks in enterprise environments. AI agents can exploit existing identity debt, such as hard-coded credentials and excessive permissions, to escalate beyond their initial privilege level without breaching traditional security controls. The new controls aim to enable organizations to adopt AI at scale while maintaining security governance.

Why it matters: Security and infrastructure teams must evaluate how AI agents access identity systems and enforce privilege boundaries, as this drift detection addresses a gap where AI can leverage unmanaged credentials and orphaned accounts already present in the enterprise.
