As AI agents evolve into autonomous systems capable of executing real world actions, enterprises are under growing pressure to rethink how identity and access security is enforced across dynamic environments.
Akeyless has introduced a new capability called Agentic Runtime Authority, alongside Agentic Identity Intelligence, to strengthen control over AI driven systems. The Akeyless Runtime Authority for AI agents launch aims to address emerging security gaps as organizations deploy autonomous agents across cloud, SaaS, and on premises infrastructure.
Unlike traditional applications, modern AI agents are no longer limited to reading data or generating responses. They now interact directly with enterprise systems, execute workflows, and make decisions in real time. This shift has exposed limitations in conventional security models such as static credentials, OAuth tokens, and role based access controls, which are not designed to evaluate intent or contextual behavior.
The Akeyless Runtime Authority for AI agents introduces a new security model that enforces control at the moment of action rather than just at the point of access. The system enables intent aware authorization, dynamically adapting permissions based on each request and ensuring that only approved actions are executed. This real time enforcement allows organizations to immediately block unsafe behavior as it occurs, reducing the risk of unauthorized system changes.
Akeyless also incorporates Zero Standing Privileges and Just In Time access to limit persistent permissions and provide temporary, controlled access across hybrid environments. This approach enables AI agents to securely interact with multiple systems, including cloud platforms, internal databases, and enterprise infrastructure, without exposing long term credentials.
In addition to runtime enforcement, Agentic Identity Intelligence provides continuous visibility into how AI agents operate. The platform creates a centralized system of record for agent identities, access patterns, and data interactions, helping organizations track data lineage and detect potential risks such as excessive privileges or unauthorized access. It also delivers audit ready insights, linking each action back to its originating prompt for enhanced governance and compliance.
“AI agents are no longer just generating answers, they are taking real actions across critical systems,” said Oded Hareven, CEO of Akeyless. “Enterprises do not just need visibility, they need control. For years, Akeyless has secured billions of machine identity interactions for some of the world’s largest organizations, eliminating standing privileges and enabling just-in-time access across complex environments. With Agentic Runtime Authority, we are extending that proven foundation to AI agents, bringing intent aware authorization, real-time enforcement, and the ability to stop unsafe actions before they happen. This is what it takes to safely operationalize AI at scale.”
The Akeyless Runtime Authority for AI agents launch reflects a broader industry shift toward securing autonomous systems with real time, context aware controls. As AI continues to expand into mission critical operations, such innovations are expected to play a key role in enabling safe and scalable adoption across enterprise environments.
