Agent AI on the horizon — are we ready for identity and access risks?

Colleagues, a warning: adoption of Agent AI increases cyber risks. Orchid Security's recent report (Identity Gap: Snapshot 2026) reveals “identity dark matter” at 57% vs 43%.

Key findings:
• Hidden non‑human accounts — 2 in 3 are created locally, outside centralized IAM.
• Excessive privileges — 70% of applications hold too many rights.
• Orphaned accounts — 40% lack a current owner.

Why it matters: Agent AI rapidly seeks workarounds; existing IAM gaps raise the risk of unauthorized access and outages.

How do you plan to reduce the “identity gap” in your organization?
