Every AI agent should have a passport
Ash Srivastava - September 14, 2026
Every AI agent should have a passport.
Before an agent enters the enterprise environment, you should know:
Who is it?
Who owns it?
What is it allowed to access?
What can it do?
What data can it use?
What is its risk level?
When should it expire?
This is essentially an identity and lifecycle model for the digital workforce.
Without it, organizations will eventually lose track of:
• Agent ownership
• Permissions
• Data access
• Vendor dependencies
• Business purpose
• Operational risk
As agent populations grow, identity can't remain an afterthought.
" Machine identity is becoming a prerequisite for agentic AI at scale. "
What do you think......should enterprises treat AI agents more like employees with identities, permissions, and expiration dates?
