Wilcox and Adams advise CISOs on securing enterprises against agentic AI identities

The S&P Global and Docusign security chiefs say AI agents create a new class of non-human identities that are harder to attribute, inventory and govern.
They urge identity-first security, starting with clean directories, least privilege, reliable offboarding, full non-human identity inventories, phishing-resistant MFA, micro-segmentation and continuous monitoring.
They warn generative AI is strengthening social engineering while identity becomes a concentrated attack surface, but say AI can also help defenders rebalance a long-standing advantage held by attackers.
With AI agents outnumbering humans and evading traditional controls, can enterprises ever fully regain visibility and control over their digital identities?
Could our rush to secure AI identities inadvertently create new vulnerabilities or ethical dilemmas we haven't yet considered?
