Orchid Security has introduced identity drift detection and application-level kill switches to help enterprises control AI agents that can exceed their intended scope by using hidden identity weaknesses. The company says AI adoption must be paired with continuous observation, governance, and auditability to prevent agents from exploiting orphaned accounts, excessive permissions, and other forms of identity debt. #OrchidSecurity #IdentityControlPlane #PaloAltoNetworksIdira #SplunkEnterpriseSecurity #NIST #DORA
