Securing the agentic enterprise

A practical guide to how intent-based, privileged access controls secure access for AI agents.

How do you make it safe for non-deterministic AI agents to perform meaningful tasks?

That’s the question facing every company right now, and the answer comes down to intent-based access controls.

A privileged access model built around intent gives security teams the controls they need to greenlight agent deployment with confidence rather than slow it down.

In this article, you’ll learn:

  • How to recognize the risks of inherited credentials, standing access, and unpredictable agent behavior.
  • How intent-based, just-in-time, and just-enough access can reduce agent blast radius.
  • How 1Password Privileged Access can extend access governance to co-pilots, agents, and other non-human identities.
