“The rise of AI agents is creating a new and urgent identity security challenge. Agentic AI is not an isolated problem; it’s a subset of the broader non-human identity landscape. To secure it effectively, organisations must think holistically about their entire identity ecosystem, not just one type of identity in a silo. Often built on low-code and no-code platforms, AI agents can be deployed in minutes with privileges that rival human admins,” said Marc Maiffret (pictured), Chief Technology Officer at BeyondTrust. “BeyondTrust uniquely connects visibility with proactive control across all identities so customers can rein in this new frontier of risk and turn AI into a safe force multiplier that also meets compliance requirements.”
Three New Capabilities, Announced are:
- AI Agent Insights
Expands Identity Security Insights’ market-leading identity capabilities to AI agents. Customers can discover, classify, and risk-score agents across cloud and SaaS platforms (including Salesforce Agentforce and ServiceNow), expose shadow AI, and apply Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP) and Just-In-Time (JIT) access policies to bring agents under full identity governance. - MCP Orchestration with BeyondTrust’s Lightweight MCP Server
A secure bridge for brokering agent actions across BeyondTrust products. This enables privilege-safe workflows, such as JIT API requests via Entitle, credential rotations in Password Safe, and future extensibility for both BeyondTrust copilots and customer-deployed LLMs. - Omnipresent AI Decision-Support Layer
Embedded directly into the Pathfinder Platform, this ChatGPT-like assistant interacts with customers’ identity security data to deliver real-time insights, guidance, and remediation steps. Powered by BeyondTrust Phantom Labs™ research, it helps teams make better-informed decisions without disrupting existing workflows.
