Non-Human Identity

CyberArk's 2025 identity research found machine identities outnumber human ones by more than 82 to 1, with a large share holding privileged access, yet most organizations still define a privileged user as human only.

The fix for AI agents specifically is to give each agent its own scoped identity rather than a shared service account or a borrowed human login. That makes every action attributable, lets you disable one agent without locking out a person, and keeps its permissions reasonable.
