What you'll learn

Classify agent identity before you secure it

Use the three-step framework: authority type, deployment, and access scope, to size any agent's blast radius.

Discover the shadow AI already in your org

Find unsanctioned AI tools, local agents, and exposed credentials on endpoints before you try to write policy

Prove who authorized every agent action

Build one audit trail showing which human, agent, or machine used which credential, when, and under whose authority

Why this topic matters

Most teams don't know how many AI agents are running in their org. They're in browsers, IDEs, and on developer laptops, usually authenticating with an API key someone pasted in months ago and forgot. If that key leaks, the attacker gets whatever the agent gets. And when something goes wrong, there's often no record of which agent did it or who authorized it. Let's unpack that in this session with 1Password.
