Articles by Ashur Kanoon

AI agents need more than working credentials. They need verifiable identity, task-scoped access, and clear attribution.
A working prototype can mask the harder problem: keeping every workload, agent, credential, policy, and audit trail consistent across production environments.
AI agents exchange sensitive contexts across MCP servers in seconds. Without context-aware auditing, you can’t trace who accessed what.
Most CISOs fear AI agent risks, but legacy IAM can’t govern autonomous systems. A new identity model built on attestation is emerging.
Managing digital identities for both human and nonhuman users is a central challenge for modern organizations spanning SaaS and clouds.
Teams can query workload identity data in plain language, investigate activity, and move faster without leaving the Aembit platform.
Not all credentials are created equal. Compare API keys and JWTs across security, scalability, and fit for modern workload authentication.
Static credentials were never built for cloud-native environments, and the gaps they leave behind are exactly what attackers count on.
Attestation-based identity verifies workloads using cryptographic environment evidence rather than stored secrets. Learn how it works across hardware and cloud.
CI/CD security checklist for DevSecOps teams. Eliminate pipeline secrets, secure dependencies and implement workload identity federation in 3 weeks.
