Traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) systems fail to handle AI agents properly, necessitating a new identity model—agentic Identity Providers (IdPs)—that continuously verify and adapt AI agents' access based on context changes to mitigate risks of standing access.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of AI Agents, Identity & Access and Cybersecurity.
