Forensic Summary
Token Security has published a detailed analysis of the identity and access management failures emerging as agentic AI systems proliferate across enterprise environments, highlighting how AI agents authenticate, hold credentials, and act autonomously across production systems without adequate oversight. Unlike traditional machine identities, AI agents combine human-like goal-directed behaviour with machine-speed execution, creating credential sprawl that existing IAM programs were never designed to govern. Security teams face a compounding risk: agents are being provisioned with overprivileged OAuth grants, API tokens, and cloud roles that remain unreviewed and unrevoked long after the original use case has expired.
