Agent Credentials

Agent credentials are authentication tokens or secrets that enable AI agents to access external systems, APIs, and data sources while maintaining security boundaries. In enterprise AI governance, managing agent credentials is critical because improper handling can expose sensitive data, enable unauthorized system access, or create audit trail gaps. Organizations must implement secure credential storage, rotation policies, and access controls to ensure agents operate within intended permissions while maintaining compliance with data protection and security frameworks.

Agentic AI Moves to Production: Entrust Program Puts NHI Credential Governance in Focus

Entrust launched its Agentic AI Trust Accelerator on July 14, 2026, a co-development program designed to help enterprises extend identity, authorization, and cryptographic controls to autonomous AI agents. The program addresses non-human identity management, agent-specific credentials, and OAuth scoping as organizations begin moving agent deployments beyond pilots. It provides a vendor-supported framework for implementing least-privilege access models for agents operating in production environments.
