Why leveraging AI security tools and responsibly implementing agents with real-world systems are key.

As cybersecurity investors, we have long seen identity as one of the industry’s most constant challenges. It has become the dominant breach vector and remains one of the least unified areas of enterprise defense. Now, as AI agents do more and more work within the enterprise, securing identities has never been more important. AI agents increasingly operate across the enterprise with access to sensitive systems, often using the credentials and permissions of employees or service accounts rather than their own identities. For security teams, that creates a major visibility and control gap that demands a solution.
