The agentic AI era is here

Industry reports make it clear: agentic AI is opening doors to new possibilities, but it's also inviting some tricky challenges. As agents multiply, security built for humans must now adapt to the scale, pace and unpredictability of autonomous agents.

Insufficient visibility and monitoring

Organizations struggle to gain comprehensive visibility into agent activities, identify unauthorized agents, and detect abnormal behaviors that could signal a threat.

Lack of agentic accountability

There is no standard way to register agent identities, map agents to humans for accountability, or govern the agent's lifecycle.

Overprivileged agents

Agentic access is often hardcoded at worst or coarse-grained at best—leaving organizations with unreliable agents acting with too much entitlement.

Why identity matters for agentic AI

While zero trust tenets aren't new, applying them to agents is novel. Discover how you can unleash the full potential of agentic AI without compromising your security resilience.

Why visibility matters for agentic AI

Agents working at machine speed and scale can exploit one small opening that can lead to unmitigated consequences. Discover how you can know every agent, understand their risk, and adapt security policies in real time.

How Duo solves the problem

Comprehensive visibility & insight

The first step in giving any trust to agents is to discover and analyze all agents in your environment—building a comprehensive and actionable inventory of agents that connects them to ownership, credentials, activity, findings, workflows, and remediation status.

Robust agent governance

Once discovered and tracked, agents need to follow an identity lifecycle where they are effectively onboarded, enabled, and retired when no longer in use—all with proper human oversight and governance.

Least-privilege agentic access

Agents should be able to work seamlessly—but securely. To ensure least-privileged access for agents, they should be assigned fine-grained permissions only for the specific tasks they perform or resources they need.

DUO AND CISCO SECURE ACCESS

Zero trust for agents

Trust must be established between humans and agents. Never give implicit trust. Don’t give more trust than is necessary. Continuously verify.

Turn NHIs into an actionable inventory

Agentic Visibility in Cisco Identity Intelligence helps you secure the entire identity chain that powers each individual agent. A full picture of where agents are running, what they can connect to, what credentials they use, and what they can access provides much needed identity context that helps you better understand your risk exposure and potential blast radius of an agentic attack.
