FIELD GUIDE TO AI AGENTIC IDENTITY

The future of identity is agentic

Autonomous AI agents are here—and they’re acting fast. But do you know who they’re acting for, what they’re accessing, or why?

This practical guide explores the security risks of agent sprawl and introduces a new model for orchestrating identity at machine speed.

80:1

That’s how many more agents than humans large enterprises are expected to manage in the next few years.

Zero

of workflows already powered by AI agents today—from refunds and IT automation to cross-cloud orchestration.

A brochure cover titled "The future of identity: Orchestrating secure access for the agentic era" by Strata, featuring a purple and black digital design background—your FIELD GUIDE TO AI AGENTIC IDENTITY.

Build your identity strategy for the agentic era

  • Why traditional IAM systems can’t handle the scale, speed, and autonomy of AI agents
  • The six identity functions that must evolve for agentic systems: Authentication, Authorization, Access, Audit, Administration, and Availability
  • How to enforce least-privilege and traceable agent behavior with On-Behalf-Of delegation and dynamic policies
  • How an Agent Fabric and registry provide visibility and control across clouds, platforms, and air-gapped systems
  • Why Identity Orchestration is the foundation for zero-trust agent identity—without rewriting apps or refactoring infrastructure

Frequently asked questions

What happens after I request a demo?

We’ll schedule a friendly 30-minute call to learn about your environment, projects and processes. Our solutions engineers will then create a tailored demo that highlights real benefits for your current apps.

How customizable is the solution for our specific environment?

Strata adapts to your unique infrastructure, whether you’re running legacy on-premises systems, cloud services, or both. Our platform handles custom authentication methods, unique protocols, and specialized access policies your apps might require.

How long does implementation typically take?

You can protect a few key applications within two weeks in a proof-of-concept. Full production rollouts usually span 8+ weeks, depending on environment complexity and app count.

Does Strata work with my existing tools?

Yes. Strata is built to work alongside your identity stack — cloud or on-prem. We help you unify and modernize on your timeline, maintaining constant access for end-users.

What happens if our cloud identity provider goes down?

With Strata’s Identity Continuity, apps automatically fail over to a backup provider. Mission-critical workloads stay online, preventing productivity hits, revenue/reputation loss.

How does Strata handle compliance requirements?

By standardizing and centralizing identity policies across all apps, you can meet audits and industry regulations faster — no massive refactoring or new architectures needed.
