Rubrik Agent Identity secures agentic actions in real-time

Rubrik, the security and AI operations company, has announced Rubrik Agent Identity, an AI-based solution to manage and control AI agents' access and permissions.

Rubrik explained that AI agent deployments can execute complex, automated workflows across software-as-a-service (SaaS) applications, databases, and application programming interfaces (APIs) at unprecedented speed and scale. At the same time, most organisations lack the capability to monitor and control agent access and actions at the necessary speed and scale.  

Rubrik Agent Identity is designed to reduce operational vulnerabilities that stem from agent identities by allowing customers to both monitor every agent and Model Context Protocol (MCP) server at runtime using AI, and to deliver just-in-time permissions per tool call.

"Agents are no longer just synthesising information, they are acting on behalf of employees, and the access models we built for humans. Static credentials were never designed for autonomous actors," said Dev Rishi, GM of AI at Rubrik.

"Agent Identity lets enterprises decide who can do what with agents and enforces it per tool call, at the moment of action, with scoped, short-lived access and no standing permissions. With Rubrik Agent Cloud, enterprises can govern agent activity, enforce identity-aware policies, and apply semantic policy evaluation before sensitive actions execute. By using audit logs to prove what happened, agent adoption can scale with confidence, avoiding potential blast radius."

Blast radius refers to the extent of damage resulting from an incident.  

Modern AI creates an unmonitored "shadow workforce" that bypasses traditional security boundaries, Rubrik said. Because these systems often rely on broad, static credentials, a single compromised agent can trigger destructive, system-wide actions with zero visibility. 

According to recent data from Rubrik Zero Labs, 86% of global IT and security leaders expect AI agents to outpace their organisation's security guardrails within the next year, while only 23% report full visibility into the agents operating in their environments. 

Rubrik Agent Identity, delivered as an expansion of the Rubrik Agent Cloud platform, establishes a unified Govern, Control, and Prove model across the entire agent lifecycle. The new solution operates alongside Rubrik's established SAGE governance framework.

Rubrik Agent Identity integrates seamlessly with Okta and Microsoft Entra ID. An MCP Gateway provides a unified security checkpoint for all API-based and MCP resources across the enterprise.

NVIDIA brings secure agent workspaces and confidential computing to AI factories

As enterprise AI use cases move from chatbots to persistent, autonomous agents capable of reasoning, writing their own software tools, and executing complex cross-system workflows, demands on token generation fundamentally rewrite the enterprise model for security, compliance, infrastructure and cost.  To scale safely, organisations need AI factories  that are built for secure, trusted and efficient AI production. NVIDIA is supporting this trend with new reference architectures for  Secure Agent Workspaces ,  Confidential VMs and Confidential Containers .  Legacy IT security controls — static credentials, network allowlists and standard role-based access — were not designed for autonomous agents, NVIDIA said. Securing an AI factory requires a paradigm shift to runtime-enforced, policy-driven guardrails. Enterprises need secure agent workspaces — persistent, single-user environments accessed via enterprise single sign-on. Secure agent workspaces are governed by...

Fortinet enhances FortiRecon to align with CTEM framework

Fortinet, the global cybersecurity provider driving the convergence of networking and security, has turned the FortiRecon platform into a comprehensive solution aligned with the continuous threat exposure management (CTEM) framework. The latest release introduces expanded internal attack surface monitoring, adversary-centric dark web intelligence, and security orchestration, all in a unified platform. These enhancements help organisations proactively identify and prioritise real-world exposures, validate risks like an attacker would, and accelerate response. “CISOs and security teams are overwhelmed by growing attack surfaces and an endless stream of unprioritised alerts,” said Nirav Shah, Senior VP of Products and Solutions at Fortinet. “With the latest enhancements to FortiRecon , we’re giving organisations an attacker’s eye view of their internal and external exposures, backed by AI-powered threat intelligence from FortiGuard Labs, real-world validation, and automated response...
