Palo Alto bets on identity security for autonomous AI with Idira launch

Palo Alto Networks launched Idira, a new identity security platform designed to manage and secure human users, machine identities (non-human accounts that systems use), and AI agents as enterprises increasingly deploy autonomous AI systems. Unlike traditional identity management systems, Idira treats all identities as privileged and uses dynamic privilege controls, continuously discovering identities across cloud and developer environments while dynamically granting and revoking access permissions in real time rather than using static access tokens.
