Why AI Agents Create New Security Risks
Autonomous agents can move from receiving information to taking real-time actions across enterprise systems.

Key messageAI security must address not only what an agent receives as input, but also what the agent is allowed to do.

IDENTITY & CONTROL
04
Managing Non-Human Identity Risks
AI agents and automated workflows introduce identities that need continuous security context.
AI AGENT IDENTITY PERMISSIONS TOOL EXECUTION MONITORING ENFORCEMENT
Autonomous actor Who is acting? What can it access? What did it do? What changed? Allow / block
• Connect agent behavior, identity context, and tool execution as security
signals. CONTINUOUS CONTEXT
• Continuously monitor agent activity instead of relying on one-time
authentication. Identity + behavior +
execution
• Use policies to identify anomalous behavior and over-privileged actions. A security signal is stronger when these
dimensions are connected.
• Detect and block rogue or potentially harmful software agents.
