MEET THE TEAM. SOME OF THEM AREN'T HUMAN.

AI agents are joining the workforce, but the security policies aren't keeping up. Research from JumpCloud found that 59% of organizations [5]using AI agents haven't fully integrated them into the identity policies used for employees. That's a problem as agents increasingly access applications, execute tasks, and make decisions. With JumpCloud's Agentic IAM [6] capabilities, IT teams can discover agents, establish ownership, manage permissions, and govern access throughout their lifecycle, alongside human and device identities. Because as the workforce evolves, security needs to evolve with it.
