AI agents pose a significant security risk not by hacking into systems, but by operating within them using legitimate credentials. These agents can access sensitive data, trigger workflows, and execute actions across interconnected systems by leveraging valid identities through methods like OAuth tokens or cloud roles. Traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems, designed for human users with predictable behavior, are ill-equipped to govern the autonomous and dynamic nature of AI agents, necessitating a shift towards continuous evaluation of agent behavior and access over time.
