- Control What Agents Do at Runtime
Identity Security for AI Agents
Secure connectivity between every agent and system, control actions with intent-aware access, and audit all activity
Trusted by Leading Enterprises, Investors, and Partners
Secure AI Agents from
Identity to Action
See every agent, remove standing access, and ensure actions align with approved intent.
Expose Shadow AI
Discover all your AI agents, the identities they use, and the systems they touch.
Eliminate Standing Privilege
Replace persistent credentials with just-in-time, scoped access.
Authorize Actions by Intent
Assess AI agent intent and allow only valid, policy-aligned actions.
Prove Every Action
Maintain a complete record of agent activity for audit and investigation.
AI Agents Break Traditional Identity Security
AI agents operate with too much power and too little oversight. Traditional access control cannot determine intent or keep up with agents acting autonomously in milliseconds. By the time misuse is detected, it’s already done.
Real-Time Agent Control. No Blind Spots.
Evaluate intent, broker access, and govern every action from request to execution.
Map Every Agent and Its Access
Identify every AI agent, and the identities, credentials, and permissions they use. See how agents authenticate, what they can reach, and how access moves across your environment.
Evaluate Intent Before Execution
Assess the semantic intent behind each request before access is granted. Enforce policy in real time, block actions that exceed approved behavior, and shut down activity instantly with a real-time kill switch.
Eliminate Secrets with Just-in-Time Access
Remove standing credentials entirely with SecretlessAI™. Akeyless generates scoped, short-lived access for each task—AI agents never receive a secret. No storage, no reuse, no privilege buildup.
Trace Actions End-to-End
Eliminate the AI black box. Capture the full chain from prompt to decision to execution, including what data was accessed, transformed, and where it flowed.
Link intent, policy, session, and outcome in a complete, auditable record. Limit how much data agents can access and retain over time.
How Akeyless Secures AI Agents
Continuously discover, govern, and track agents through three components that operate as a perpetual control loop.
Discover and Map your AI Agents
Secrets Management
Secure, store, and deliver secrets dynamically with no vault overhead.
Keep Secrets Out of AI Agents’ Hands
SecretlessAI™
Eliminate static, hardcoded credentials. Akeyless provides just-in-time, short-lived access so agents never store or handle secrets.
Govern AI Actions in Real Time
Agentic Runtime Authority
Ensure AI agents act only within approved intent and authority. Akeyless evaluates requests, enforces policy, and stops unsafe actions at runtime.
Agentic Runtime Authority In Action
Every agent request is intercepted before reaching its target, evaluated against declared intent, and continuously inspected during execution. Live commands across SSH, databases, Kubernetes, and cloud APIs are monitored and blocked immediately if they exceed approved authority.
With Agentic Runtime Authority, you don't just hope your AI behaves. You enforce its boundaries at the Gateway level, and you maintain a tamper-proof forensic audit trail of every single prompt and API call it attempts to make.
One Platform. Every Identity Secured. Everywhere.
AI agent security does not exist in isolation. The same identities and credentials that power AI agents also underpin application secrets, encryption keys, service accounts, certificates, and human access.
Akeyless unifies Privileged Access, Secrets Management, KMS, and Certificate Lifecycle Management into a single SaaS platform with one policy engine and one audit trail.

FAQs
Answers to the Most Common Questions About Identity Security for AI Agents
What is AI agent identity security?
AI agent identity security is the practice of discovering AI agents, managing the identities and credentials they use, and controlling what actions they can perform. It combines identity visibility, least-privilege access, and runtime enforcement to secure autonomous AI workflows.
How is securing AI agents different from traditional IAM?
Traditional IAM relies on static roles and credentials, which cannot evaluate intent or control actions at runtime. AI agent security requires continuous visibility into identities and data access, along with real-time enforcement based on what the agent is trying to do.
How does Akeyless control AI agent actions at runtime?
Akeyless intercepts every request, evaluates semantic intent, issues scoped just-in-time authority, and inspects activity in real time to block actions that exceed approved intent.
How does Akeyless eliminate standing privilege for AI agents?
Akeyless enforces zero standing privilege by issuing ephemeral, task-scoped credentials that expire automatically, ensuring agents never retain persistent access or secrets.
How does Akeyless provide visibility into AI agents?
Akeyless continuously discovers AI agents across cloud, Kubernetes, SaaS, and development environments, mapping identities, credentials, and data interactions into a system of record.
How does Akeyless support audit and compliance for AI agents?
Akeyless creates a complete audit trail linking the prompt, intent, policy decision, session, and executed action, enabling full traceability and investigation.
Does Akeyless support MCP and AI agent frameworks?
Yes. Akeyless integrates with modern AI agent frameworks and supports protocols like MCP, enabling secure access to tools, data, and infrastructure without exposing secrets.
How is Akeyless different from other AI security solutions?
Akeyless combines identity discovery and runtime enforcement in a single platform. Unlike tools that focus only on monitoring or access, Akeyless provides both visibility into AI agents and real-time control over what they can do.
