AI Agents Pose Identity and Access Management Risks Due to Lack of Oversight

AI agents are increasingly capable of accessing data, triggering workflows, deploying code, and interacting with critical business systems, often with minimal oversight. These agents function as distinct identities within organizational environments but are frequently not managed with the same security and governance controls as human or machine identities. The article highlights that this gap creates significant identity and access management challenges, as AI agents may operate with excessive privileges or unmonitored access. The primary impact involves heightened security risks due to inadequate identity governance for AI-driven processes. Token Security is cited as the source analyzing these emerging risks.
