A swarm of futuristic AI humanoids rushes a glowing security barrier at the entrance to a brightly lit data center, visually representing agents pushing past authorization controls.

4 min readSomewhere right now, a developer is creating a database user for a new web app. That database user gets broad access – most tables, full CRUD. Then that same broad credential gets handed straight to the app itself. Few people would consider that architecture unusual. It has been standard practice for decades.  Now picture handing […]
