Summary
Traditional security controls like static passwords and fixed permissions don't work well for agentic AI (autonomous AI systems that operate independently and make decisions). Organizations need new approaches to manage agentic identity (how AI agents prove who they are), control what resources agents can access, handle secrets (like passwords and API keys) that agents use, and ensure permissions get restricted as workflows move between agents.
