AI Agents Are Part of Your Team Now. Here's How to Secure All of Them.

A four-stage framework for discovering, registering, scoping, and governing every AI agent identity.
JumpCloud's Q3 2026 research found non-human identities now outnumber human users in 83% of organizations, yet only 21% have governance controls for them.
The sponsored framework proposes four stages: discover every agent across cloud platforms, devices, SaaS integrations, and on-premise systems; register each as a formal identity with a defined purpose, scope, and named human owner; manage access with least privilege, just-in-time credentials, and credential shielding instead of standing API keys; and govern behavior continuously through logging and access reviews.
Fragmented IT environments make each stage harder, and organizations with fully unified environments are five times more likely to deploy agents in business-critical workflows.
