Your AI Agents Have 50x More Identities Than Your Employees

Your AI Agents Have 50x More Identities Than Your Employees 97% of non-human identities are over-privileged. 88% of orgs have had agent security incidents. The identity crisis nobody's managing. Last month, security researchers at Entro analyzed 27 million non-human identities across enterprise environments. The ratio they found: 144 machine identities for every human . Up 44% from the year before. That number alone should alarm you. But here's the part that keeps security teams up at night: 97% of those identities have excessive privileges. 91% of former employee tokens are still active. And 71% haven't been rotated within recommended timeframes. We've spent the last two years obsessing over what AI agents can do — memory architectures , scaling patterns , security protocols . We've largely ignored who they are . Every agent running in your infrastructure has an identity — API keys, service accounts, OAuth tokens, certificates. Those identities are multiplying faster than anyone c
