Zero Trust was designed for users and devices. AI agents break that model: they act on behalf of humans, chain calls across systems, and operate at a velocity no SOC can manually review.
Identity is still the control plane
Every agent, copilot, and workflow needs a first-class identity — scoped, attestable, and revocable. Federated workload identity, short-lived tokens, and policy-aware brokers are now baseline.
Continuous verification, continuously
Verify the model, the prompt, the retrieval source, and the downstream action — not just the user. Treat each tool invocation as a fresh trust decision evaluated against signals from identity, data sensitivity, and threat intelligence.
