Use case: AI Agent Identity & Least Privilege

Your AI agents have more access than your most privileged employee. And no identity of their own.

AI agents inherit full user permissions, operate on shared credentials, and answer to no governance framework built for them. IAM governs humans. NHI governs machines. Neither governs AI agents. aizome does.

Identity, Scoped to Purpose

AI Agents are not users. They are not machines. aizome governs what they actually are.

Only 21.9% of organizations treat AI agents as independent, identity-bearing entities. The rest share credentials or lump agents into service accounts. aizome assigns a governed hybrid identity to every agent interaction - can be inherited from the initiating user, scoped to actual purpose. Every action attributable. The gap between IAM and NHI was never built to close. aizome closes it.

Every AI agent scoped to exactly what its task requires. Nothing more.

A finance manager's AI agent inherits her Salesforce, SAP, and payroll access - whether it needs any of it or not. aizome applies dynamic policy-driven controls to limit what each agent can actually reach. One role. Defined once. Applied to every current and future agent that user runs - automatically.

High-privilege actions require human approval before they execute.

A read is different from a delete. A query is different from a write. aizome moves high-privilege permissions to just-in-time mode - human approval required, time-bound access granted, automatically revoked when the window closes.

Agents never hold credentials directly. aizome brokers everything.

No credentials to rotate. No tokens to expire. No stale identities to decommission. Every request routes through aizome. Agent retired - access stops. Scope changed - permissions update instantly.

Without aizome / With aizome

The difference shows up before the first incident does.
