Zero trust for agentic systems: Managing non-human identities at scale

Source: HashiCorp Blog

Overview

The rise of agentic AI systems represents a fundamental shift in how enterprises build and deploy software. Unlike traditional AI systems that primarily react to inputs, agentic systems operate autonomously, setting their own goals, executing tasks across various tools and APIs, and making independent decisions. This autonomy brings unprecedented efficiency but also introduces new security challenges, especially around identity and access management for non‑human actors.
