Interesting developments in AI security!

Google Cloud’s GKE Agent Sandbox (which uses gVisor) offers robust infrastructure security through kernel-level isolation. On top of that, Palo Alto Networks complements this with Prisma AIRS, providing platform-level AI threat detection.

Together, these solutions cover where AI runs and what security policies monitor.

This brings up important identity questions:

• Who is responsible for granting an AI agent its initial privileges?
• How do you maintain least privilege for an agent that can learn and evolve?
• What is the process for revoking access when an agent is retired?
• How can you verify what actions the agent performed versus what was intended by humans?

Without clear identity governance, you risk having secure but invisible “ghosts” inside your infrastructure.

Identity and platform teams must work closely together. For instance, Okta Workflows can help automate the lifecycle of service principals tied to AI agent deployment and retirement, ensuring least privilege access and clean deprovisioning every time.

Securing AI requires integrating identity governance from the start. The question of “who” can no longer be overlooked.
