Your AI agents have identities. Secure them.

AI agents connect to applications, databases, cloud infrastructure and sensitive company information using service accounts, API keys, tokens and other machine identities.

Fairpointe helps organisations discover these identities, understand what they can access and control what autonomous systems are allowed to do.

AI creates a new identity problem.

Traditional identity security was designed primarily around people.

AI agents and automated workloads operate differently. They authenticate to systems, call APIs, access data, trigger workflows and take actions without a person signing in each time.

Every credential creates a potential path to company systems and information.

As organisations deploy more AI, understanding these non-human identities becomes part of securing the AI infrastructure itself.

Control the identities behind your AI systems.

  1. 01

    Discover

    Identify service accounts, API keys, tokens, secrets and other non-human identities across your technology environment.

  2. 02

    Govern

    Understand ownership, permissions, dependencies and which systems each identity can access.

  3. 03

    Control

    Reduce excessive privileges, improve credential management and establish controls around what agents and workloads are permitted to do.

  4. 04

    Monitor

    Identify unusual activity, changes in access and risks as your AI and cloud environments evolve.

A continuous cycle: identities change as agents, workloads and cloud environments change.

Secure agents across your environment.

AI rarely operates inside a single platform. Fairpointe takes an environment-wide approach to the identities and infrastructure connecting agents to company systems.

Where AI agent security matters.

Enterprise AI agents

Understand which systems autonomous agents can reach and which identities they use to get there.

Machine identities

Discover and govern service accounts, API credentials, workload identities and other non-human access.

Cloud and DevOps

Understand machine access across cloud infrastructure, CI/CD systems, repositories and Kubernetes environments.

MCP and AI infrastructure

Apply security controls to the emerging infrastructure connecting AI models and agents to tools, data and enterprise systems.

AI agent security questions

What is AI agent security?

AI agent security is the practice of protecting autonomous and semi-autonomous AI systems, including the identities, credentials, permissions, applications and data they use to perform actions.

What is a non-human identity?

A non-human identity is a digital identity used by software rather than a person. Examples include service accounts, API keys, access tokens, workload identities and credentials used by automated systems or AI agents.

Why do AI agents create identity risk?

AI agents can interact with multiple systems and perform actions autonomously. If their credentials have excessive permissions, are poorly managed or become compromised, an attacker or malfunctioning agent may gain access to sensitive systems or data.

Can Fairpointe work across AWS and Microsoft Azure?

Yes. Fairpointe’s approach is designed for multi-cloud and mixed technology environments, including AWS, Microsoft Azure, Microsoft Entra, GitHub, Kubernetes and SaaS applications.
