66a Securing Autonomous AI Agents: Navigating the New Frontier of Digital Identity.

As AI agents gain autonomy in enterprise operations, robust identity and access management becomes critical to prevent security breaches and maintain organizational trust.

1. The Emergence of Autonomous AI Agents

Autonomous AI agents are increasingly integral to business operations, performing tasks ranging from customer service to backend processes. Unlike traditional software, these agents can initiate actions, access sensitive data, and make decisions without human intervention. This autonomy introduces new security challenges, as AI agents require credentials and access rights similar to human users, making them potential targets for cyber threats.
