AI Agents at Risk: Why Traditional IAM Can’t Protect Machine-Speed Identities
The Model Context Protocol (MCP) is now the standard for connecting AI agents to enterprise tools, but 2025 saw a wave of MCP-related security incidents. This whitepaper from KuppingerCole and iC Consult dives into the evolving threat landscape and outlines how to secure autonomous AI agents before they become liabilities.
Topics covered:
- Key vulnerabilities behind recent MCP server breaches
- Why traditional IAM and OAuth fail for AI agent scenarios
- The five identity dimensions of AIdentity (agent, server, tool, user, data)
- How to apply ISPM for continuous AI agent discovery and risk assessment
- Best practices for securing MCP servers and supply chains
- iC Consult’s strategic approach to AIdentity and practical implementation guidance
