AI agents are gaining access to enterprise systems—and without the right identity controls, they introduce serious risk. To address this, CyberArk is integrating Accenture’s AI Refinery with its Identity Security Platform, aiming to secure AI agents with the same rigor applied to human and machine identities. The goal: help organizations implement identity security controls for AI agents grounded in Zero Trust principles.
Unlike conventional applications, AI agents are designed to make independent decisions, communicate with other systems, and take actions on behalf of users or processes. As enterprises embed these agents deeper into production environments, each agent effectively becomes its own machine identity—one that requires lifecycle management, secure authentication, and tightly controlled access.
But identity security for AI agents is far more complex than provisioning a few accounts or credentials. Enterprises may need to manage millions of such identities, each with unique access requirements, interaction patterns, and risk profiles. This complexity demands an identity-first security approach that can scale, adapt, and continuously verify every agent's legitimacy.
What the Integration Brings to the Table
Accenture’s AI Refinery helps enterprises transform raw AI capabilities into business-ready tools. Now, with the integration into CyberArk’s platform, organizations can extend the same level of identity protection to AI agents as they do to human users and traditional machine identities.
Here’s what the joint solution enables:
CyberArk’s identity security integration with Accenture’s AI Refinery enables enterprises to not only manage the growing population of AI agents but also build trust in their ability to operate safely. By aligning on a Zero Trust approach and addressing the unique needs of AI-based systems, CyberArk and Accenture are helping businesses unlock AI’s potential without compromising on security.
