IAM for AI agents: A Practical Enterprise Framework

Summary

This guide argues that identity and access management (IAM) for AI agents must treat each agent as a non-human identity with a human owner, a defined purpose, scoped authorization, an expiration, and continuous monitoring. It states that conventional IAM platforms express intended access but cannot show what an agent actually executed, a gap the guide calls identity dark matter. It also cites OWASP's excessive agency risk (LLM06) as a failure mode that static role assignment cannot bound.
