  "account": "Enterprise identity systems have traditionally been built around human logins. However, AI agents present a unique challenge as they lack a human face, individual ownership, and there will be exponentially more of them than humans to monitor them. To address this, identity teams are developing Agentic Identity Providers, specifically designed to establish what an AI agent is before determining its permissions. CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. Chief Marketing Officer Jennifer \"JJ\" Johnson has been covering this topic for theCUBE's Fal.Con conference, highlighting the stark contrast between AI agents and human employees. Johnson points out that there will be approximately 90 AI agents for every human employee. She emphasizes that agents operate differently from humans, requiring a distinct approach to identity management. CrowdStrike's new Agentic Identity Provider is part of their Continuous Identity system, which makes real-time authorization decisions. This provider focuses on establishing the agent's identity before granting permissions, a step that most companies have yet to tackle. Johnson sees this as an opportunity to finally solve the identity problem for agents, which could then be reversed to benefit humans. The announcement coincides with CrowdStrike's next phase of its Agentic SOC, which involves coordinated investigations across endpoints, identities, SaaS, cloud, and networks. This comprehensive approach reflects the way autonomous attackers now operate simultaneously across multiple domains. Johnson stresses the importance of visibility and cross-domain detection to effectively defend against AI-driven threats.

  "summary": "Every enterprise identity system ever built started with a human logging in. AI agents don’t work that way: there’s no face behind the login, no single owner, and soon there will be far more of them than there are people to watch over them. That mismatch is why identity teams are starting from scratch with […] The post CrowdStrike builds an identity provider for AI agents, not humans appeared…",
