The Myth of the Solved Secret: Why Credentials Are AI’s Most Dangerous Vulnerability

Summary AI security discussions often focus on prompt injection, model vulnerabilities, and patching. But one of the most immediate risks is much more familiar: compromised credentials. AI agents require credentials to access enterprise systems and can also discover credentials exposed elsewhere. Because agents operate at machine speed and scale, even short-lived credentials can provide enough […]

Gartner on AI Agent Security: The Case for Runtime Authorization

Summary: AI agent security requires controls that govern what agents actually do, even when they have legitimate access. A new Gartner report makes the case for independent runtime authorization that evaluates agent actions as they happen. Here’s why traditional identity and secrets management fall short, and how Akeyless Agentic Runtime Authority addresses the gaps. On […]

Top PAM Solutions for Enterprise Environments

The top PAM solutions in 2026 include Akeyless, CyberArk, BeyondTrust, Delinea, Keeper, and Teleport. Buyers should compare platforms based on deployment architecture, just-in-time (JIT) access and Zero Standing Privilege (ZSP), support for human and non-human identities, audit and compliance capabilities, and operational overhead. Modern PAM increasingly extends beyond password vaulting to identity-driven, temporary privileged access across hybrid, multi-cloud, DevOps, machine, and AI environments.

EU AI Act Compliance: Mapping Identity Security Controls

The European Union’s AI Act is the world’s first comprehensive legal framework for artificial intelligence. It takes a risk-based approach, applying stricter obligations to AI systems that could significantly affect people’s safety or fundamental rights. The regulation entered into force on August 1, 2024, with requirements phased in over time. Some provisions are already enforceable, […]

Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP) and Just-in-Time (JIT) Access: The New Security Standard for the AI Era

Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP) and Just-in-Time (JIT) access eliminate persistent credentials by granting access only when needed, for a specific task, and for a limited time.

The Limits of Vaulting AI Agent Credentials

Quick Answer: Palo Alto Networks Unit 42 showed how a prompt-injected AWS AgentCore agent could steal and replay a credential even though it was securely stored in AgentCore Identity. The research exposes a broader problem with AI agent security: protecting credentials at rest and in transit is not enough if they become readable inside the […]

Gartner on Machine IAM: Govern the Identity, Not the Credential

Quick Answer: Machine IAM shifts security from managing credentials as standalone objects to governing the identities of workloads and AI agents directly. That means establishing who or what is requesting access, issuing short-lived authority based on policy, and maintaining ownership and lifecycle context as those identities change. For autonomous agents, that model increasingly extends into runtime, […]

Embracing a Secretless Approach with Akeyless

Key Takeaways Answer Capsule: What Is Secretless Authentication? Secretless authentication is an approach that lets machines, services, and applications authenticate to systems and each other without ever holding a static, storable secret, such as a hardcoded API key or a long-lived certificate. Instead, a workload proves its identity (through a cloud IAM role, a Kubernetes […]
