Security teams increasingly outflanked by AI agents

A report indicates that non-human identities, such as artificial intelligence (AI) agents and service accounts, are proliferating faster than security monitoring systems can track. Existing identity and access management tools lack adequate visibility and control over these entities, creating a gap in security coverage.

Why it matters: Security practitioners managing identity infrastructure face blind spots in their environments where AI agents and automated accounts operate without sufficient logging, which increases the risk of unauthorized access, privilege escalation, or lateral movement that goes undetected.
