A new access model for the agentic enterprise

Modernize access management for a world dominated by non-human identities and AI agents.

Non-human identities (NHIs) far outnumber human identities in the modern workforce, and traditional access management can’t keep up.

As agentic AI quickly becomes the norm, effective governance will require continuous visibility and just-in-time, just-enough access.

This report covers:

  • How AI agents and other NHIs are expanding the identity perimeter
  • Why traditional, static access policies struggle to govern NHIs and unpredictable agent behavior
  • Core controls needed for a secure agentic environment
  • Why organizations need a unified approach to governing people, machines, and AI agents
