Red Cup IT Secures Agentic AI Workloads with Aembit

Red Cup IT, a managed service provider with deep expertise in automation, compliance, and security, adopted Aembit to manage and protect the AI agents it deploys into customer environments. The firm sought a method to maintain visibility and control as these autonomous agents began performing real tasks within client systems.

Before

Limited oversight of agent activity within customer environments.

Manual credential handling and complex token management.

Difficulty extending conditional access to AI-driven workloads.

After

Introduced short-lived credentials and centralized access control.

Unified workload identity and policy enforcement through Aembit.

Improved traceability and response time across AI operations.

The Environment

Red Cup IT supports a broad set of enterprise clients that rely on secure automation to maintain their infrastructure. Its customers operate across multiple clouds, using a combination of virtual machines, cloud workloads, and desktop environments. As Red Cup IT began integrating agentic AI into these contexts, it sought a secure method to oversee thousands of automated actions without adding administrative weight.

The Problem

The company recognized that AI agents, while capable of accelerating routine tasks, also introduce new risks. Each agent needs an authenticated identity, a record of its activity, and a way to withdraw access immediately if behavior or context changes. Traditional credential-based methods were too static and too difficult to manage at scale. Red Cup IT needed a controlled, auditable means of access that could align with its existing security posture.

The Solution and Benefits

By deploying Aembit, Red Cup IT established a workload identity control plane that issues, tracks, and revokes access tokens automatically. Aembit integrates with Red Cup IT’s existing security tools, including CrowdStrike, Beyond Identity, and Okta, allowing policies to reflect real-time conditions across the organization’s infrastructure. This ensures that every AI workload – whether operating in the cloud, within an integrated development environment, or on a desktop – acts under verified and accountable access.

The Business Outcomes

With Aembit, Red Cup IT can now introduce agentic AI into customer environments confidently and efficiently. The company reduced manual credential management, strengthened auditability, and improved its ability to enforce policy-based access across diverse systems. The new model allows Red Cup IT to provide secure automation for its clients while maintaining the consistency and discipline that define its service philosophy.
