Behind the scenes, thousands of non-human identities, from service accounts to API tokens to AI agents, access systems, move data, and execute tasks around the clock. Why AI agents behave differently and why that mattersUnlike most machine identities, AI agents initiate actions on their own; interacting with APIs, querying data, and making decisions autonomously. Worse, most AI agents lack clear ownership, follow no standard lifecycle, and offer little visibility into their real-world behavior. How security teams are regaining controlFacing an attack surface that is expanding and becoming more autonomous, leading security teams are shifting from reactive fixes to proactive governance. Don't let NHIs become your biggest blind spotAI agents and non-human identities are already reshaping your attack surface.
