AI agents are already inside the perimeter: closing the "identity dark matter" gap

Colleagues, note: in cybersecurity AI agents are already operating inside the perimeter, and deployment is outpacing governance.

Key points:
- Agents are launched within units, SaaS and via APIs; traditional IAM cannot see activity inside applications — the "identity dark matter".
- Risks: opportunistic privilege escalation and forgotten static credentials — attractive targets for attackers.
- Solutions: tools like Ask Orchid enable agent discovery, NIST compliance checks, inventory of static credentials, and prioritized remediation.

Why it matters: without visibility we lose control over access and compliance.
