Closing the AI-Agents Authority Gap: Observability as the Engine of Delegation

Colleagues, a note on cybersecurity: AI agents are delegated actors, not autonomous.

- Observability: an agent’s privileges originate from people and services; "identity dark matter" conceals risk beyond IAM.
- Threat: an agent amplifies hidden accesses and implicit paths.
- Recommendation: first illuminate traditional identities and eliminate "dark matter," then apply continuous observability to the delegation layer.
- Model: telemetry evaluates the delegator, context, and intent and decides — allow, recommend, restrict, or block.

Why it matters: only consistent governance of delegating identities makes Agent-AI safer.

How would you assess your infrastructure’s readiness?
