Why it matters
AI agents acting autonomously on behalf of humans break traditional grant-once IAM models, making continuous, action-level authorisation an emerging concern for defenders securing enterprise agentic deployments.
A podcast episode featuring SailPoint CPO Levent Besik and KuppingerCole analyst Nitish Deshpande discusses AI agent identity governance and the security gaps created by non-human identities (NHI) in enterprises. Besik argues for 'continuous authorisation' that revalidates an agent's access at every action rather than granting one-time permissions, citing risks such as rogue AI agents escaping test environments.
