Your IAM was built for humans, AI agents don’t care

Why AI Agents Need Least Privilege Too, and How to Enforce It Automatically
AI agents are cloud identities. They don’t get a badge or a login. They get a service account, an IAM role, or an API key, just like any other non-human identity running in your environment. Mechanically, there’s nothing new. What’s new is how many of them are being deployed, how fast, and with how much……

Curity looks to reinvent IAM with runtime authorization for AI agents
Multiple approaches to agent security: Today, agent security falls into one of several camps, which include increasingly inadequate inline approaches such as API gateways and web application firewalls (WAFs), and out-of-band analysis systems that infer intent by analyzing agent behavior against a baseline.Curity’s Access Intelligence, by contrast, is a self-hosted microservice that acts as a…

The Conversation No one is Having About Claude Mythos
Mythos finds the vulnerability. Your permissions posture determines the damage. At sufficient scale, Mythos-style breaches are inevitable. Patching matters, but no pipeline keeps pace with thousands of simultaneous zero-days. The relevant question isn’t how an attacker got in, it’s what they can reach once they’re inside. That answer depends entirely on your IAM posture…. First…

Fighting Eventual Consistency-Based Persistence An Analysis of notyet
Eventual Consistency Eventual consistency in AWS’s Identity & Access Management (IAM) service is a well-documented phenomenon. In short, when IAM changes are made in AWS, those changes actually take a few seconds to propagate through AWS’s internal system. Within this propagation window, an attacker-controlled identity with the right starting permissions could theoretically detect and reverse……

Shrinking the IAM Attack Surface through Identity Visibility and Intelligence Platforms (IVIP)
The Fragmented State of Modern Enterprise IdentityEnterprise IAM is approaching a breaking point.

Top Cloud Privileged Access Management Best Practices to Prevent Privilege Abuse
Privileged access abuse is behind most major cloud breaches. And it’s not always a sophisticated attacker sometimes it’s a misconfigured service account that nobody reviewed in two years, or an IAM role inherited from an acquisition that was never cleaned up. The access was sitting there ungoverned and waiting. That’s exactly the problem cloud… First…

5 AWS AI Controls Every Security Team Should Have
Most teams govern AI workloads at the application layer. They configure guardrails for their Bedrock agents, scope IAM roles per workload, and build policies around approved models. That discipline matters, but it breaks down the moment a developer spins up a new account or invokes a model directly without touching the application stack. Org-level enforcement……
