What happened
Rubrik unveiled (Aug 4, 2026, Black Hat) Rubrik Agent Identity, extending Agent Cloud with scoped, short-lived per-tool-call access tokens issued at an MCP gateway, behavioral intent analysis via its SAGE engine, and integration with Okta/Entra ID plus Agent Rewind for reversing unauthorized agent actions.
Why it matters
Eliminates standing permissions for AI agents by enforcing authorization at the individual tool-call level rather than session level, addressing Rubrik's own finding that 86% of security leaders expect agents to outpace guardrails within a year.
Applicability
Teams running Claude/Anthropic agent deployments via Rubrik Agent Cloud should evaluate; identity/PAM teams generally should watch this per-call enforcement pattern.
