CrowdStrike builds identity system for AI agents, not humans

First reported

SiliconANGLE ran this on 2 September, a day before the next source picked it up.

CrowdStrike released Agentic Identity Provider, a system that identifies and registers AI agents before granting them access to company systems, filling a gap in how enterprises manage software that acts autonomously.
Traditional identity systems rely on human logins and passwords; this new tool issues cryptographic identities to agents and brokers temporary access tokens scoped to minimum required permissions, with every action traceable to a human owner.
