Agentic Identity and Access Management (IAM) extends traditional IAM to secure AI agents as non-human identities using continuous runtime identity enforcement, dynamic authorization, and human oversight. It addresses challenges such as autonomy, delegation, scale, and auditability to enable secure, accountable AI-driven automation in enterprises.
