AAM
Agentic Access Management (AAM) is a security framework for controlling, monitoring, and governing the access rights of autonomous AI agents — ensuring they operate within defined boundaries and cannot exceed their intended scope.
⚙️ How Does It Work?
AAM applies JIT access, intent verification, time-bound credentials, behavioral monitoring, and automated revocation to AI agents. It treats each agent as a privileged non-human identity requiring the same controls as a human administrator.
📍 Where Is It Used?
Organizations deploying AI agents for automation, data processing, customer service, or IT operations.
💡 Real-World Example
An AI coding agent is given JIT read access to a specific GitHub repository for 30 minutes to complete a task. AAM verifies the agent's intent, grants scoped access, records all actions, and revokes credentials automatically when the timer expires — preventing lateral movement.
