An Identity Security Taxonomy for Agentic AI

Agentic AI, a new paradigm allowing AI agents to interact with tools dynamically, raises identity security concerns. A taxonomy categorizes AI agents based on three criteria: their interaction method (browser vs. programmatic), deployment location (endpoint vs. remote cloud), and purpose (individual, internal company, or external application). This framework helps identify security measures needed for agentic AI access management. The taxonomy aids organizations in balancing productivity and security while adopting agentic AI effectively.
