CrowdStrike builds an identity provider for AI agents, not humans

SiliconANGLE · 1 day ago · 28 ● 5 sources

CrowdStrike announced an Agentic Identity Provider designed to establish what AI agents are before deciding what they can access, rather than treating agents like human users. The company framed the need around a ratio of roughly 90 AI agents for every human employee. This adds a new identity layer ahead of its Continuous Identity authorization system, moving agent authentication/identity definition to a purpose-built workflow using agent-specific identity instead of service accounts and API keys.
