And this all matters because machine identities will vastly outnumber human identities. SailPoint projected that AI agents could outnumber human workers by a ratio of 100 to 1 in some enterprise environments. 

So this really changes the speed and the scale that identity governance fabrics need to operate at. 

It creates new requirements around privilege management, and it also creates new behavioral analytics requirements and new concerns around compliance and audibility. 

This is all because we're seeing that AI agents don't fit neatly into existing identity and access management models. 

So these AI agents are chaining actions together. They're inheriting permissions. They're going to start interacting autonomously with data and with other agents. 

And they're also going to be triggering secondary actions downstream.
