AI agents are rapidly becoming a core part of the enterprise, embedded throughout the enterprise workflow, autonomous and deciding which systems to access and what systems to use. But so are risk and threats as agents grow in power and autonomy.
Recent research shows that 80% of companies already experience unintended AI agent actions from unauthorized system access to data leaks. These incidents are not edge cases. These are the inevitable consequences of deploying AI agents at scale without dedicated security mechanisms. Traditional IAMs were not designed for this. Agents run too fast 24/7, relying on non-human identity (NHIS) to define exactly what you can and cannot do.
How can an organization ensure that it is not visible or that it is out of control? New approaches are needed to address this challenge. This allows for secure AI agents deployment across the enterprise.
Input: Agent Control Plane (ACP) in Astrix
Astrix’s AI Agent Control Plane (ACP) is the industry’s first solution designed to deploy securely designed AI agents across the enterprise. With ACP, all AI agents receive short-lived, accurately scoped credentials and just-in-time access based on the least privileged principle, eliminating the chaos of access and reducing compliance risk.
ACP offers three core mentions:
Auditing is fast and predictable. Clear ownership and tracked activity trails allow all agent actions to be managed and easier to validate. Secure access for AI agents – Minimal previal, just-in-time credentials from day one keep access tight and risky. Developer Productivity – Policy-driven, pre-authorized access allows developers to quickly spin up agents.
How it works
Predefined Policy: Security administrators create granular, minimal permission profiles tailored to specific AI agent use cases.
Deployment Agent: Developers launch the AI Agent from the preferred tool and apply the appropriate pre-authorized authorization profile.
Centralize controls: When deployed, all agents will be displayed in Astrix inventory and attached policies to enable real-time monitoring, management and coordination.
What will change when you adopt ACP?
For the security team: central visibility of all agents, every permission, and every action. Instant Goke. On-demand evidence. For developers: A simple API or CLI to request policy-compliant access. Guardrails keep you high and low risk. For leadership: From ideas to safely deployed agents, shorten the audit cycle and the measurable reduction in measurable explosion radius.
Responsibly discover, secure and deploy AI agents
With the introduction of ACP, Astrix is now offering the industry’s first end-to-end enterprise solution for AI agent security. Our Discover – Secure –Deploy framework allows you to gain visibility, establish security guardrails, and deploy agents with confidence at scale.
Discovery: Acquire all AI agents along with related NHIS and machine credentials, including API keys, service accounts, secrets, and more.
Safety: Identify and correct excessive privileges, vulnerable compositions, unusual activities, and policy violations.
Deploy: Securely roll out securely designed AI agents with trust access policies enforced through ACP, just-in-time credentials, and audit trail.
This discovery ~ Square-deployment framework helps organizations to unlock the full value of agent AI without introducing uncontrolled risks.
Conclusion
AI agents and NHIS are the fastest growing blind spots, counting employees at 100:1 and falling outside of traditional IAM. With Astrix, businesses can discover all AI agents and NHIs, ensure excessive privileges and real-time threats, and safely deploy agent AI with secure design guardrails like just-in-time access.
