Traditional identity and access management was designed for human logins and fails in a world where AI agents and machine identities drive over 90% of authentications. Enterprises need an application-centric, runtime authorization model using short-lived, context-rich tokens and standards like OAuth 2.0, a gap Curity Access Intelligence aims to close. #CurityAccessIntelligence #OAuth2
Keypoints
- Traditional IAM assumes one-time authentication and a single human identity.
- Non-human identities and AI agents now handle the majority of authentications and act across API chains.
- Treating agents as persistent directory identities causes rapid identity sprawl and orphaned permissions.
- Authorization must be application-centric and evaluated continuously with just-in-time, least-privilege tokens.
- Existing standards like OAuth 2.0, token exchange, and dynamic client registration enable runtime, scoped authorization without replacing infrastructure.
