The Shift: Identity in the Age of AI
AI is reshaping how software operates. Agents now retrieve data, trigger workflows, and interact with APIs across applications, often acting on behalf of users.
Identity is no longer just a login layer. It is the control plane for how these interactions are secured. It acts as infrastructure, governing how access is authenticated, authorized, and managed across applications, services, and AI agents.
