Unlike traditional applications, AI agents challenge existing identity and governance models due to their new class of non-human identity. To adapt, enterprises need to modernize their identity security systems to ensure visibility, just-in-time runtime authorization, delegated access, and human oversight. Visibility is crucial, as it helps security teams discover, classify, and monitor every AI agent. Likewise, human oversight is necessary to manage actions that require human intervention for high-risk transactions such as financial approvals. To authenticate and authorize AI agents securely, organizations should implement scoped permissions, runtime authorization, and policy-driven controls utilizing frameworks like OAuth 2.0 and mTLS. It is also critical to avoid sharing human credentials with AI agents due to the risks associated with auditing, impersonation, and fraud. Instead, employ authenticated delegation to provide agents with temporary, scoped tokens to maintain audit trails and accountability.<\/p>\n<h4>Key Points:<\/h4>\n<ul>\n<li>Organizations must adapt identity-security systems to manage AI agents which require visibility and continuous monitoring.<\/li>\n<li>Human oversight and controls are essential for high-risk actions and transactions.<\/li>\n<li>Proper authentication and authorization mechanisms like OAuth 2.0, DCR, and mTLS are critical to secure AI agents\u2019 operations.<\/li>\n<li>Avoid sharing credentials with AI agents to mitigate risks related to impersonation and fraud.<\/li>\n<li>Employ delegated authorization to maintain accountability and establish secure interactions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laying the groundwork: A practical path to identity security for AI agents | resource https:\/\/www.scmagazine.com\/resource\/laying-the-groundwork-a-practical-path-to-identity-security-for-ai-agents&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":221498,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/files.cyberriskalliance.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/061224_facial_recognition.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[26],"class_list":["post-221497","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-ai"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221497"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=221497"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221497\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":221499,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/221497\/revisions\/221499"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/221498"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=221497"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=221497"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/testing.news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=221497"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
