Your AI Agents Are Already Inside the Perimeter. Do You Know What They're Doing?

AI agents are being deployed in enterprises much faster than companies can manage them, creating a visibility problem because traditional identity and access management (IAM, systems that control who can access what) was designed for human users, not continuously-running software agents. About half of enterprise identity activity already happens outside the view of central IAM tools, leaving organizations unable to see what AI agents are operating, what data they access, or what permissions they use. The source describes using observability tools (systems that let you see what's happening) built into applications to discover AI agents and check compliance with security standards like NIST (the National Institute of Standards and Technology).
