Artificial Intelligence is transforming the way we work, from development to sales and security. However, most discussions revolve around the capabilities of AI, rather than its potential vulnerabilities. This conversation shifts the focus to the risks associated with AI if left unaddressed.
Every AI agent, chatbot, or automation script relies on a growing number of non-human identities, including API keys, service accounts, and OAuth tokens, operating silently in the background.
The issue at hand is that these identities are:
🔐 Not visible
🧠 Highly powerful
🚨 Not secure
Traditional identity security focuses on protecting users, but with AI, control has been handed over to software that mimics user behavior, often with greater access and fewer safeguards.
This is not a theoretical concern, as attackers are already exploiting these identities to move laterally through cloud infrastructure, deploy malware, and exfiltrate data without detection.
- They are using compromised identities to move undetected through cloud systems
- Malware is being deployed via automated pipelines
- Data is being stolen without triggering any alerts
Once these identities are compromised, they can unlock critical systems without being noticed, leaving no opportunity for correction.
For those developing AI tools, deploying Large Language Models (LLMs), or integrating automation into their SaaS stack, they are already reliant on non-human identities (NHIs), which are likely not secured. Traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) tools are not designed for this purpose, necessitating new strategies.
A forthcoming webinar, “Uncovering the Invisible Identities Behind AI Agents — and Securing Them“, presented by Jonathan Sander, Field CTO at Astrix Security, serves as a timely warning and roadmap, rather than another discussion on AI hype.
Key Takeaways
- Understanding how AI agents lead to unseen identity proliferation
- Reviewing real-world attack scenarios that have gone unreported
- Recognizing the limitations of traditional IAM tools in protecting non-human identities
- Implementing simple and scalable methods to monitor, secure, and manage these identities
Most organizations are unaware of their exposure until it’s too late.
This session is crucial for security leaders, CTOs, DevOps leads, and AI teams who cannot afford to overlook potential failures.
The sooner you acknowledge the risk, the quicker you can address it.
