Navigating a New Frontier of Risk

Security and identity teams must now manage threats involving not only human users, but also AI agents and digital workers. Detecting impersonation, misuse, and account takeover requires continuous verification and context-aware controls throughout the identity lifecycle.

This brief outlines practical identity capabilities for addressing deepfakes, synthetic identities, insider threats, and hijacked AI agents. It covers risk-based authentication, behavioral analytics, secure agent onboarding, liveness detection, fine-grained access controls, continuous monitoring, and automated policy responses.

Key Takeaways

• How to securely onboard, authenticate, authorize, and govern AI agents

• Ways to detect deepfakes and synthetic identities through liveness and biometric validation

• Best practices for identifying behavioral anomalies across human and non-human identities

• Steps for consolidating identity controls across workforce, customer, partner, and AI access
