Agentic AI & A2A Access Control

SecureAuth brings Zero Trust security to non-human identities like AI agents, autonomous workflows, and service accounts, applying the same rigor as for human users.

With Microperimeter™ authorization, short-lived proof-of-possession tokens, and policy-based controls, enterprises can contain risk, enforce least privilege, and maintain full auditability across AI-driven and application-to-application interactions.

Common challenges​

  • AI agents acting without human oversight
  • Over-privileged service accounts and static keys
  • Limited visibility into who, what, and when for agent actions
  • Compliance mandates for traceable, least-privilege access

SecureAuth capabilities​

Non-human identity lifecycle

Register and manage AI agents and service accounts as first-class identities with credential rotation and retirement policies.

Proof of possession tokens

Issue short-lived OAuth 2.1 tokens bound via DPoP or mTLS, eliminating static credentials and reducing shadow access.

Fine grained authorization

Apply PBAC and relationship-based (FGA) policies to enforce object/action-level controls and least-privilege by default.

Microperimeter™ enforcement

Evaluate every agent request in real time at the API edge — blocking unauthorized or risky actions before execution.

Adaptive risk controls

Leverage device, network, and behavioral signals to trigger just-in-time access, step-up auth, or deny actions dynamically.

Signed, immutable logs

Generate verifiable audit trails for every action, streamable to SIEM/SOAR for compliance and forensics.

DevOps & runtime integration

Use SDKs, webhooks, and policy-as-code (OPA/Rego) to embed enforcement in CI/CD pipelines and production workloads.

Cross-boundary federation

Safely authorize third-party or SaaS agents with scoped, auditable, and revocable access.

Architecture flow​

  1. Agent registration. SecureAuth enrolls AI agents as OAuth clients with minimal scopes.
  2. Token issuance. Agents request proof-of-possession tokens via OAuth 2.1 flows with DPoP or mTLS.
  3. Policy enforcement. The Microperimeter™ PDP evaluates every request for:
    • Token scope & claims
    • Contextual risk signals
    • PBAC/FGA object/action checks
  4. Audit & monitoring. The system streams immutable logs to SIEM/SOAR for visibility and compliance.

Key benefits​

✔ Eliminates static keys and over-privileged service accounts
✔ Ensures AI and A2A actions are scoped, contextual, and traceable
✔ Strengthens compliance with verifiable, signed audit logs
✔ Scales to secure both internal and third-party autonomous agents
