The CISO’s Guide to AI Agent Identity Maturity

A proven framework for transforming AI agent sprawl into governed and secure AI productivity

As AI agents gain access to applications, APIs, data, tools, and privileged workflows, CISOs need a maturity model that helps them assess their current identity security posture and chart a path from unmanaged agents and fragmented controls to clear ownership, governed authority, continuous visibility, and runtime intervention when behavior exceeds policy or intended purpose.

Join AppViewX and Beyond ONE's CISO as he shares where gaps in agent identity management shows up, what a practical maturity model for agent identity looks like in practice, and what to fix first when the budget is tight.

The AI Agent Identity Security Maturity Model gives CISOs a way to assess that gap. It defines the progression from unmanaged agents and fragmented controls to an operating model where every agent has clear ownership, governed authority, continuous visibility, and controls that can intervene when behavior exceeds policy or intent.

What You'll Take Away

  • A five-level, seven-domain framework for identifying where your organization actually stands on agent identity
  • What good looks like at each level, from ad hoc and invisible to adaptive, ecosystem-scale trust
  • Real examples, including a demo agent that kept a standing key to production for months, a proof-of-concept nobody ever decommissioned, and an incident contained in minutes because a kill switch already existed
  • Why the jump from manual inventory to full automation takes real organizational work, not just new tooling
  • Whether zero standing privileges for agents is achievable today or still a few years out
  • A direct answer to the question every CISO with a limited budget asks: which domain to fix first
