An autonomous software entity powered by AI that can reason, make decisions, and take actions across systems — often with its own credentials and privileged access.
Learn moreAI systems designed to pursue goals autonomously by planning, using tools, and chaining actions with minimal human intervention.
Learn moreThe unique, governable identity assigned to an AI agent — including its credentials, owner, permissions, and lifecycle — so its actions can be attributed and controlled.
Learn moreThe policies and processes that ensure every identity — human or machine — has the right access, an accountable owner, and continuous oversight.
Learn moreA security principle granting each identity only the minimum access required to perform its function, reducing the blast radius of a compromise.
Learn moreThe digital identity of a non-human entity such as a service, workload, or bot — authenticated with keys, certificates, or tokens rather than passwords.
Learn moreModel Context Protocol — an open standard that lets AI agents connect to external tools and data sources, expanding both their capability and their access footprint.
Learn moreAny identity not tied to a person — including service accounts, API keys, tokens, workloads, and AI agents. NHIs now vastly outnumber human identities in most enterprises.
Learn moreThe component that evaluates rules and context to decide whether an identity's requested action should be allowed, denied, or challenged in real time.
Learn moreAI agents, tools, or models deployed without the security team's knowledge or oversight — creating ungoverned identities and unmanaged access to sensitive systems.
Learn moreA security model that assumes no identity is inherently trusted — every request is continuously verified, authorized, and granted the least privilege necessary.
