What happened
Britive announced (Aug 24, 2026) Britive ARC, a runtime access-control platform that grants AI agents intent-bound, task-scoped credentials only when needed, monitors actions during execution, and revokes access on task completion, integrating with existing IAM policies across cloud/SaaS/database/on-prem environments.
Why it matters
Extends zero-standing-privilege / just-in-time access models — proven for human and service identities — to autonomous AI agents that take real production actions, directly addressing the agent-identity/authorization gap highlighted across multiple recent incidents.
Applicability
Identity/IAM and platform security teams deploying agentic AI with write access to production systems should evaluate now as an alternative/complement to standing service-account credentials for agents.
