The Identity Signal April 2026

In today’s landscape, securing every type of identity—human, non-human, and AI agents—is the defining challenge of achieving least privilege to drive a true Zero Trust architecture.

Andromeda in the News

Andromeda Shatters Identity Silos with the Industry’s First Unified Security Architecture for the Agentic Workforce.

The “Galaxy” release highlights Andromeda’s latest innovations to secure the entire identity landscape across humans, NHI, and Agents, including:

• Universal Agent Discovery: Automatically identifies and inventories every autonomous and “on-behalf-of” agent across enterprise AI platforms.
• Agent Access Intelligence: Connects the dots between humans and AI to identify exactly who owns which agents and what business-critical data they can expose.
• Human Accountability: Eliminates “orphaned AI” by identifying and certifying human owners for every agentic identity.
• Omni-Dimensional SoD: Enforces strict Segregation of Duties across humans, NHIs, and AI agents simultaneously to prevent toxic permission combinations.
• Zero-Touch Continuous Compliance: Moves from static audits to automated enforcement, triggering ITSM workflows (ServiceNow/Jira) the moment access drift is detected.

The Truth About Agentic Identities

AI agents don’t fit existing identity models—and it's creating a massive new class of security risk. Traditional IAM assumes a human or a service account, but agents operate differently, acting autonomously or on behalf of users. This introduces critical blind spots:

• Access mirrors over-privileged users
• Long-lived credentials
• Blurred attribution

Agents must be treated as a third type of identity. They need their own governance model, managed alongside humans and NHIs, and tied to a clear human owner.

Smart Just-in-Time Access with Context

Traditional JIT often forces a harsh trade-off: either you stall user productivity with manual approvals, or you rely on static rules and "rubber stamping" that leave your attack surface wide open.

Instead of relying on manual checklists, Andromeda analyzes real-time behavioral signals, multi-dimensional risk, and ticketing signals like Jira or PagerDuty to grant secure access instantly.

By automating the "paved path," you eliminate 90% of the noise so security teams can focus only on high-risk outliers.
