AI agents will need to be authenticated to critical systems, they will need strict access controls and they must be restricted only to performing their intended functions. At scale, enterprises may need to manage the lifecycle, access and associated keys and certificates for millions of machine identities, requiring comprehensive identity-centric visibility, control and safeguards.\n<\/p>\n \nAccenture AI Refinery is an AI foundation platform that helps companies turn raw AI technology into useful business solutions. The AI Refinery platform is available on all public and private cloud platforms and will integrate seamlessly to accelerate AI across the Software as a Service and Cloud AI ecosystem.\n<\/p>\n \nThe CyberArk Identity Security Platform is built to help secure the full spectrum of identities across every environment. With CyberArk’s unified platform, organizations can secure the continued proliferation of every identity type\u2014human, machine or AI.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cAI agents have the potential to gain privileged access to systems and processes, so they require the same level of identity security controls as human and machine identities,\u201d said Matt Cohen, CEO at CyberArk. \u201cBy combining the comprehensive identity security capabilities of the CyberArk Platform with the powerful functionality of Accenture\u2019s AI Refinery, we will be enabling our customers to realize the full potential of agentic AI to transform their businesses with the peace of mind that comes with knowing the agent identities are secure.\u201d\n<\/p>\n \nOrganizations must prepare for the integration of AI agents into their workforces and marketplaces, ensuring they receive the same level of security considerations and controls as human employees. This preparation is critical considering that according to Accenture\u2019s Technology Vision 2025<\/a> report, 77% of executives think AI agents will reinvent how their organizations build digital systems.\n<\/p>\n \n\u201cAI agents operate autonomously, presenting unique identity security challenges. Ensuring secure authentication, credentialing and authorization is crucial for their safe operation both within and outside of organizations,\u201d said Damon McDougald, global Cybersecurity Protection lead at Accenture. \u201cOur collaboration with CyberArk by integrating Accenture\u2019s AI Refinery into their platform is a significant step forward in helping our clients achieve secure identity access controls and more effective credential management.\u201d\n<\/p>\n Delivering Identity Security for Scalable AI Agent Adoption \nLearn more aboutAccenture and CyberArk<\/a>.\n<\/p>\n About CyberArk About Accenture Accenture Security<\/b> is a leading provider of end-to-end cybersecurity services, including strategy, protection, resilience and industry-specific cyber services.
