Agentic AI Is an Identity Problem and CISOs Will Be Accountable for the Outcome

A sponsored article from Token Security asserts that agentic AI creates a new class of identities that blend human-like intent with machine-scale operation, magnifying identity risks such as overprivileged, persistent access. It recommends CISOs implement lifecycle-based governance for AI agents—clear ownership, purpose-aligned least privilege, continuous activity visibility, automated deprovisioning, and cross-platform identity-data correlation—to safely scale AI adoption without relying solely on legacy IAM/PAM or AI platform controls.
