Key Takeaways:

Agentic AI shatters legacy security models

Autonomous agents scale faster than human oversight, turning familiar IAM failures into repeatable, machine‑speed exploits.

Non‑human identities are the primary risk

NHIs now dominate the attack surface, amplifying credential sprawl, excessive privilege, and accountability gaps across the AI lifecycle.

Zero trust enables secure AI at scale

Identity‑first access, ephemeral credentials, OBO authorization, and full auditability constrain agents while preserving innovation velocity.
