AI Security

Give every agent its own scoped, rotating identity

Agents running on a shared service account or a person's credentials are invisible in audit logs and impossible to revoke cleanly. Treat each agent like a workload identity.

Do this

  1. Issue each agent its own identity with only the scopes its job description allows.
  2. Use short-lived tokens that rotate automatically; never embed long-lived keys in prompts or code.
  3. Log every action against the agent's identity so you can trace, throttle or revoke it in minutes.

New practices publish every day.
