Just-in-time (JIT) access
Issuing short-lived, task-scoped credentials on demand that expire when the work is done: eliminating standing access there's nothing to leak or over-grant.

MCP (Model Context Protocol)
An open protocol that connects agents to external tools and data. Powerful for capability. But every connection is a new access path that has to be governed.
Read →MCP Gateway
A governed checkpoint every tool connection passes through (authenticated, policy-checked, and logged) so credentials stay central and unapproved servers can't connect.
Read →Mission drift
When a non-deterministic agent gradually diverges from its intended task. Tracked at runtime so it can be contained before consequences land.
Read →Non-human identity (NHI)
Identities belonging to machines, services, and agents rather than people. Agents are the fastest-growing and least-governed class of NHI.
Read →On-behalf-of (OBO) chain
The unbroken provenance recorded on a credential (who authorized the action, what scope was granted, and how deep the delegation goes) so an audit walks back to a human.
Read →Prompt injection
An attack that manipulates an agent through crafted input (in a prompt, a tool result, or retrieved content) to make it act against policy.
