Eighty-eight percent of organizations reported a confirmed or suspected AI agent security incident in the past year.
Only 22% treat AI agents as independent identities with their own governance lifecycle.
Those two numbers explain each other.
NIST launched its AI Agent Standards Initiative in February 2026 specifically because agent authentication and identity management are recognized gaps at the regulatory level.
Most IAM programs was built for users with name badges, not for systems that accumulate access silently and run indefinitely. That's a huge problem.
Can your security team produce a real-time inventory of every AI agent in your environment, including what credentials each one holds and what systems it can reach?
