Think of AI agents as curious, genius, sociopathic 5-year-olds.
They will explore every corner of your hybrid identity system, looking for ways to get in and take control.
Today, users are pointing agentic tools at company resources to output web pages, documentation, emails, and code. And those agents accelerate tasks and workflows with autonomous decision making and problem solving—taking actions without human intervention.
For organizational leaders, AI agents are the stuff of productivity dreams.
For security teams, they can be a nightmare.
Agentic AI tools increase the identities you need to manage and create new challenges for securing the APIs, applications, and services they consume.
To protect your business-critical functions, you must understand how AI agents work, add risk, and exploit vulnerabilities—and how they can help you prepare and defend your identity fabric for the agentic future.
What’s inside
In this deeply educational paper, Semperis Chief Product Officer Alex Weinert delves into the reality of how AI agents work in relation to your identity infrastructure—and how that impacts your security and resilience landscape. You’ll learn:
- How AI agents operate in your identity environment
- How attackers leverage rapidly evolving agentic technologies for exploitation
- How both benign and malicious actors and technologies create novel vulnerabilities
- Why agentic AI won’t “solve” cyber resilience
- How you can harness agentic tools for identity incident response—before, during, and after a cyber crisis
Achieving true cyber resilience has never been more important.
