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.

Barbarians at the Gate: The Authorization Assumption That Agents Are Tearing Down

Broad credentials made sense when fixed application logic stood between users and actions, but AI agents have changed that equation.

Abstract network pathways converge on a central gateway beneath the text “A Buyer’s Guide to AI Gateways,” with Aembit branding in the corner.

What Are the Main Types of AI Gateways? LLM, MCP, and Agent Gateways Explained 

The gateway label now covers several very different jobs. The useful question is what traffic each gateway handles, what decision it supports, and where identity and access fit in the architecture.

Risks of Agentic AI

6 Cybersecurity Risks of Agentic AI (and How to Address Them)

Agentic AI introduces new cybersecurity risks, primarily concerning autonomous identity, tool chain exposure, and cascading compromises, requiring security teams to urgently adopt least-privilege identity frameworks and real-time monitoring designed specifically for self-directed, persistent workloads.

JWT vs. OAuth

JWT vs. OAuth: Understanding Tokens and Authorization

OAuth is an authorization framework that defines how to grant access. JWT is a token format that defines how to package and transmit claims. They solve different problems, and most production systems use both.
