The rise of non-human identity.

The ratio of non-human identities to human employees in an enterprise is nearly 45 to 1. Service accounts and agents are growing faster than security teams can handle.

Most organizations manage this access with static API keys, which is essentially password sharing for software and results in a fragile security model.

When an agent needs to perform a workflow, it often depends on a raw secret stored in a text file or environment variable. Security requires a verifiable cryptographic identity instead of a static token.

Access should be linked to the agent's signature to enforce the principle of least privilege, so even if a model hallucinates or is compromised, the permissions stay secure through cryptography.
