AI Agent Security

Governing autonomous AI through identity

As AI systems evolve from tools to autonomous agents, security must evolve with them. This pillar explores how to govern AI agents through identity-scoped boundaries, examining authentication and authorization for agentic architectures, AI guardrails, model governance, and the emerging challenge of machine-to-machine trust in AI-driven workflows. We address the ICACC framework for AI agent credential and capability control.
