TL;DR

• AI agents are showing up across teams and tools, but most IAM programs don’t have a clear understanding of which agents are in use, and who uses them.

• Linx offers agentic identity discovery and governance so you can inventory agents, understand ownership, and review what they can access.

A new type of identity

AI agents are becoming part of day-to-day work. Teams use them to automate workflows, write and run code, move data between systems, and perform tasks that previously required a person to click through multiple tools.

Like most new technologies, the first challenges from a security and governance perspective are visibility and understanding. If you can’t see which agents exist, who owns them, who can use them, and what access they have, you can’t make informed decisions about risk. 

Linx provides Agentic Identity Discovery and Governance to close that gap, and give teams a single platform to security and govern human, non-human, and agentic identities. 

Agent discovery with Linx: visibility with context

Along with your human and non-human identities, you can discover which agents are in use, who has access to them (humans or other agents), and what those agents have access to. 

Which agents exist and who owns them?
Get an inventory of agents and quickly flag ones without clear owners.

Who can access the agent?
You can see which accounts have access to an agent, which helps you understand who can run it, manage it, or influence its behavior.

What does the agent have access to?
You can review the permissions and resources the agent can reach, including signals that help you prioritize what to look at first.

Bring agentic identities into your existing governance program

Most IAM teams already have a set of routines that work: access reviews, ownership assignment, least privilege, and remediation. Linx incorporates agentic identities into the same platform you use to secure and govern human and non-human identities across SaaS, cloud, and on-prem applications. That keeps visibility and governance consistent, even as identity types expand.
