Preventing autonomous agents from exceeding their assigned authorization boundaries or hijacking user identities. Aligned to OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications.
Defined as ASI03: Identity & Privilege Abuse, this threat occurs when an agent acts outside its cryptographic or logical identity boundaries. In banking, this could mean an agent with "read-only" access being manipulated to perform "write" operations by exploiting flaws in the tool integration layer.
An agent inadvertently or maliciously assumes the identity of a higher-privileged user to execute sensitive actions.
Exploiting the gap between the LLM's perceived authority and the actual API entitlements of the proxy layer.
Agents often lack the granular 'Session Awareness' required for regulated environments.
A zero-trust approach to agentic identity, where every action is mapped to a verified organizational context.
Inject session-specific constraints into the model prompt to prevent the agent from "forgetting" its limits.
Proxy LayoutStrictly map every agent tool-call back to the requesting user's Azure AD/Okta identity for real-time authz.
Governance ArticleGenerate immutable, identity-linked telemetry for every privileged action to satisfy regulatory oversight.
