Why it matters
AI-agent identity governance helps defenders address orphaned credentials and stale privileges as agent behavior and responsibilities change.
NHI Mgmt Group's guide outlines identity governance for AI agents, including registries, accountable ownership, access reviews, credential expiry, and decommissioning. The guide recommends requiring registration before issuing credentials and reviewing access when an agent's model, prompt, tools, data sources, or autonomy changes.
