Agentic AI Identity Security

Extend Zero Standing Privileges to Agentic AI Identities

Secure an Evolving Digital Workforce 

Agentic AI systems can reason, plan, and act with limited human oversight, making decisions and executing tasks at machine speeds. This introduces new risks that can result in unpredictable and risky access without the proper guardrails. 

Cloud-native, SaaS-heavy enterprises need privileged access management that can handle the dynamic nature of modern workloads and AI-driven activity. Extend Zero Trust and least privileged access to agentic AI with identity-first, runtime guardrails to maintain visibility and control.

Agentic AI Identity Security

Secure Access at Machine Scale

Britive extends its cloud-native PAM platform to govern agentic AI identities. We provide runtime authentication, just-in-time access, and continuous policy enforcement so AI agents are held to the same Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) standard as humans and traditional NHIs.

Agent Registry & Identity Lifecycle

Register every agent with a unique ID tied to its purpose, scope, and time-to-live (TTL). Support verifiable credentials such as DIDs and SPIFFE. Secure every part of the identity lifecycle from onboarding and execution to off-boarding.

Runtime Authorization (PBAC/ABAC)

Access decisions are made at runtime. Continuously evaluate policies based on attributes (ABAC) and permissions (PBAC) to enforce JIT, least-privileged access by default. High-risk actions can trigger step-up authentication or human-in-the-loop approval.

Secret-less JIT Credentialing

Eliminate the need for hard-coded secrets and static API keys. Ephemeral credentials are created upon request and destroyed when the task ends, ensuring Zero Standing Privileges by default. Agents never hold persistent secrets and access always matches real-time policy.

MCP Tool Broker

At runtime, every MCP server and tool request from an AI identity is evaluated. Approved requests receive short-lived credentials brokered through OAuth/JWT claims and others are blocked. Agents can only use authorized tools and take specific actions while “on-behalf-of" policies tie requests back to human privilege boundaries.

[ 005 ]

Observability & Auditability

Every action is logged and correlated to its unique ID. Telemetry is sent to SIEM and SOAR platforms for centralized visibility while trust scoring continuously evaluates behavior. Anomalies can trigger automatic revocation while organizations maintain full observability. 

[ 006 ]

Cross-Cloud Federation and Segmentation

Federate agent identities across cloud providers for consistent policy enforcement wherever agents operate. Governance across AWS, Azure, GCP, and hybrid environments remains consistent and avoids fragmented controls or gaps.

[ 007 ]

Agent-to-Agent Trust

Enforce verifiable agent-to-agent authentication using SPIFFE and related standards. This ensures collaboration between internal and external agents only occurs within defined trust boundaries to prevent unauthorized communication or privilege escalation. 

Extending Access Security Across Agentic AI

Unified Governance Across all Identities

Britive applies one policy framework for humans, non-human identities, and agentic AI for consistent guardrails without the need for bolted-on tools.

Zero Standing Privileges by Default

All access is ephemeral, automatically scoped to tasks, and revoked upon completion. No standing credentials or static roles remain in the environment.

Granular Runtime Control

Access decisions are made per request, per action, reducing blast radius and ensuring least privilege every time.

Audit-Ready Observability

Every agent action is tied to an identity, logged, and integrated with security tooling for full traceability and compliance.

Operational Guardrails Without Friction

Step-up policies and human-in-the-loop approvals protect sensitive actions while allowing agents to move at machine speed. Adopt AI with confidence and security built in.
