Reduce Excessive AI and Non-Human Identity Permissions

Identify overprivileged AI agents and non-human identities, understand what they can access, and reduce permissions before they become a security risk.

AI agents and non-human identities often accumulate more access than they need, creating hidden paths to sensitive systems and data.

Agents, service accounts, API identities, and integrations can gain broad permissions as they connect to more applications and workflows. Over time, this access can persist even after the original business need changes.

Without clear visibility into ownership, permissions, and downstream access, security teams may struggle to identify which identities are overprivileged. That increases blast radius if an identity is misused or compromised.

What Security Teams Need

Security teams need visibility into AI and non-human identities, including who owns them, what permissions they hold, and which applications and data they can reach.

They also need the context to identify unnecessary access, prioritize high-risk identities, and continuously enforce least-privilege principles as environments change.

How Grip Helps

Discover AI and Non-Human Identities

Grip inventories AI agents, service accounts, integrations, and other non-human identities across AI and SaaS environments.

Map Permissions and Blast Radius

Grip connects each identity to its applications, permissions, integrations, and accessible resources so teams can understand the potential impact of excessive access.

Reduce Excessive Privileges
Grip helps security teams identify unnecessary permissions, prioritize remediation, and continuously monitor for changes that increase identity risk.

Take the next step in securing your AI + SaaS environment.​

Identify overprivileged AI and non-human identities before excessive access creates unnecessary exposure. Grip helps security teams reduce blast radius and maintain stronger least-privilege controls across AI and SaaS.

What is a non-human identity?

A non-human identity is an identity used by an application, service, agent, integration, or automated process rather than a person. Examples include service accounts, API credentials, machine identities, and AI agents acting on behalf of users or systems. These identities often require significant access, making visibility and governance critical.

Why are excessive permissions risky for AI agents?

AI agents may be able to access data, connect applications, or execute actions autonomously. When they have more permissions than necessary, a mistake, misuse, or compromise can affect a much larger portion of the environment. Reducing privileges limits the potential blast radius and keeps agent access aligned with its intended purpose.

Why are non-human identities difficult to govern?

Non-human identities are often created across many applications, owned by different teams, and managed outside traditional identity processes. Ownership can become unclear, and permissions may remain long after they are needed. Continuous inventory and access context help security teams identify these gaps.

What should security teams evaluate when reviewing AI identity permissions?

Teams should review ownership, business purpose, assigned permissions, connected applications, accessible data, and whether the identity is still actively needed. They should also consider the consequences if the identity were compromised or misused. This helps prioritize the identities where excessive access creates the greatest risk.

How does Grip help reduce excessive AI and non-human identity permissions?

Grip discovers AI agents and non-human identities and connects them to permissions, applications, integrations, and enterprise resources. Security teams can use this context to identify overprivileged identities and understand their potential blast radius. Grip then helps teams prioritize remediation and continuously monitor access as the environment changes.
