As autonomous AI agents become increasingly integrated into business operations, cybersecurity experts emphasize the need for distinct identity and security measures tailored to these non-human entities. Unlike traditional user accounts, AI agents require specialized authentication protocols to prevent unauthorized access and potential data breaches. At the RSA Conference 2025, companies like 1Password and Okta introduced tools designed to manage and secure AI credentials effectively. Experts warn that without proper oversight, AI agents could inadvertently compromise sensitive data or systems, especially when managing other AI processes.
