Your enterprise has more AI agents than employees. Most don’t have identities, owners, or audit trails. Agent identity is the reliability surface that everything else depends on — and the control plan
Autonomous workers with persistent permissions and no registry or audit trail is exactly the enterprise security failure mode nobody is designing for proactively — companies are discovering shadow agents the same way they discovered shadow IT, after something goes wrong. The permission persistence issue is particularly sharp because agent sessions are often long-lived in ways human sessions aren't. Do you think the governance gap drives a new category of agent observability tooling, or is it more likely that the hyperscalers absorb the problem into their existing IAM infrastructure?

You will probably see both for a while until things converge into a manageable tooling that can support both humans and AI Agents
