CyberArk has officially released its Secure AI Agents Solution to protect privileged AI identities with refined access control mechanisms and minimized security risks. This new addition enhances the CyberArk Identity Security Platform by introducing privilege management features designed for the expanding category of AI agent identities.
As organizations increasingly deploy AI agents to automate operations and boost efficiency, these autonomous systems are becoming a new, highly privileged identity type. However, they also bring emerging security concerns, including hallucinations, misuse, and potential compromises by attackers. Such risks are exacerbated when agents require elevated permissions.
The Secure AI Agents Solution mitigates these vulnerabilities by enforcing strict privilege controls that ensure each AI agent accesses only the necessary data and functions. This principle of least privilege lowers exposure, blocks unauthorized actions, and supports safe scaling of AI initiatives.
“As organizations embrace AI agents, both builders and defenders must understand how identity-centric risks evolve when agents require elevated privileges,” said Matt Cohen, CEO of CyberArk. “Without strong discovery, robust privilege controls, and comprehensive lifecycle management, organizations risk losing visibility and opening the door to catastrophic agentic attacks.”
CyberArk introduces Secure AI Agents to strengthen control over privileged AI identities, helping companies reduce risks and maintain secure, scalable AI operations.
