IDC Survey Finds Identity Control Gaps for AI Agents

The article summarizes IDC research commissioned by Commvault showing that many organizations are unprepared to govern the rapid growth of machine identities from agentic AI: 90% of surveyed North American organizations see need for improved identity management and 58.7% say capabilities require major changes. It highlights limited adoption of dynamic RBAC (only 26.7%), concerns about over-permissioned and proliferating non-human accounts, and recommends processes for creating, limiting, monitoring, and retiring agent identities to reduce attack surface and improve cyber resilience.
