If an autonomous AI agent interacts with your company's core intellectual property today, can your security team instantly name the person who authorized it? For most enterprises, the answer is a simple **no**. The rush to adopt internal AI tools has left a massive trail of administrative debt: **orphaned agents** (AI tools left running after their creator leaves the company) and **standing privileges** (AI that retains permanent, unrestricted access it no longer needs). When an employee moves on, the automated tools they built often stay active—keeping unmonitored access to sensitive databases and source code long after the human’s credentials are revoked. ### Why Existing Security Tools Miss the Signal Traditional access tools treat AI like standard software. But AI does not stay static; it continuously pulls, shifts, and interacts with data on its own. A standard security filter sees an AI tool pull an entire repository and assumes the application is just doing its job. It cannot see that the employee who originally spun up that tool left the company last week. The system cannot judge whether the action is malicious because it doesn't know whose identity the agent is borrowing. Trying to secure an AI tool by itself does not work. Finding these hidden scripts is only half the problem; you still have to map them back to a living owner. To bridge this critical identity gap, **The Hacker News** is hosting a technical briefing alongside **SailPoint**. ### What the Session Covers This technical deep dive skips the AI marketing hype to focus on practical architecture: * **The identity gap:** Why securing an AI tool in isolation fails if you do not know whose credentials it is running on. * **Finding Shadow AI:** A step-by-step walkthrough to track down undocumented tools active on your network right now. * **Deployment reality:** How to get immediate visibility into enterprise AI use without adding network infrastructure bottlenecks. The developer who built the automation may have left months ago, but the access token hasn’t. Join **SailPoint** and **The Hacker News** to learn how to revoke access before an attacker uses it for you.
