Non-human identities (NHIs) like service accounts, API keys, and AI agents are rapidly expanding and creating security blind spots for organizations. Companies now have 50 non-human identities for every human user, with 40% having unknown ownership. AI agents blur traditional identity boundaries by operating on behalf of users while accessing multiple services. Current authentication frameworks like OAuth need evolution to handle dynamic, granular permissions for AI agents. Organizations struggle with visibility and management of these identities, leading to increased attack surfaces and security breaches.
