## Summary

At The AI Conference in San Francisco, RSA announced RSA Agent ID, an identity security platform designed to discover, secure, and govern AI agents in regulated industries. Jim Taylor, President and Chief Product and Strategy Officer at RSA, explained that AI agents often operate without human oversight, accumulate permissions, and bypass corporate policies. In one audit, a medium-sized bank that banned AI agents was found to have over 4,000 of them running in its enterprise.

The platform consists of three modules: Discover, Secure, and Govern. Discover scans endpoints and networks to register agents to human owners, Secure acts as an inline gateway to check tool calls against policy, and Govern logs actions for regulatory compliance. Rather than requiring human approval for every action, a risk engine scores activities and only escalates high-risk tasks to humans through an out-of-band channel.

## Key points

- RSA Agent ID Discover and Secure launch on November 16, 2026, with Govern following in early 2027.
- An audit of a bank with a strict "no agents" policy revealed more than 4,000 active agents.
- The platform uses an inline gateway to intercept tool calls and enforce inherited permission models.

## Why it matters

As enterprises rapidly deploy autonomous AI agents, security teams struggle to track their permissions and actions. RSA's platform treats agents as dynamic identities, providing a way to govern shadow AI and prevent accidental disruptions, such as an agent triggering a denial-of-service shutdown on internal systems.
