As autonomous principals proliferate across enterprise environments, the governance model built for humans develops structural blind spots that traditional IGA tools weren't designed to detect. This guide covers where that model breaks, what it","Current identity lifecycle management (ILM) systems are built on the assumption that all identities are human, with HR-driven events like hiring, role changes, and departures dictating access. This model, which relies on employment records, managers, and termination dates, is ill-equipped to handle AI agents.
