"Traditional IAM tools assume applications are accessed by human users or machine identities, governed by a one-time authentication process. Agents, however, operate with ephemeral and complex access patterns that are unpredictable."
"Curity's approach treats agents as a special type of application, using OAuth tokens to not only permit access but also to carry information about the agent's purpose and intent."
"Access for agents is granted at runtime, with each requested action generating a separate token that describes the access needed. This allows for dynamic permission management."
"When an agent starts a new task, it requires a new token specifying a new set of permissions, and human authorization may be necessary for high-risk actions like transferring funds."
Traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) tools are designed for human users and machine identities, relying on one-time authentication. However, agents operate differently, with access that is ephemeral and unpredictable. Curity addresses this by treating agents as unique applications, utilizing OAuth tokens not just for access but also to convey the agent's purpose. Access is granted dynamically at runtime, with each action requiring a new token that specifies permissions, and human authorization may be needed for high-risk actions.
