In the early stages of the AI era, enterprises focused development on the reasoning layer, building smarter models and more autonomous AI agents. Today, agents are starting to access enterprise applications, data, and business workflows. This shifts the development emphasis from how agents think to controlling how they act. And that requires a new focus on identity security.
Without robust identity controls, organizations face two significant risks:
- Agents with their own identity allow low-privilege users to inherit high-privilege access
- One breach on a shared service account with agents exposes everything the account can touch
Security teams need to prove that an AI agent, on behalf of a user, is authorized to perform a specific action on a specific resource.
Wipro IAM for AI delivers robust security and compliance
Wipro’s IAM for AI, powered by Arcade.dev, helps enterprises leverage their existing IGA investments and extend governance and controls to AI agent identities. The solution mitigates AI agent risk using run-time delegated user authorization at the MCP layer.
The user's own privilege is delegated to the agent at the moment of action, enforcing need-to-know access for strong security and compliance. This is auth, tools and governance in one layer and it integrates with any LLM, framework, identity provider, or MCP.
