What is Akeyless Agentic Runtime Authority?

Identity and access management is the part of IT security that makes sure the right users have the appropriate access to technology resources. AI agents, software that acts on its own, make this harder: the maker argues that traditional access controls can decide whether an agent may enter a system but not whether each action it takes inside is legitimate. Akeyless Agentic Runtime Authority is a product from Akeyless that lets AI agents reach protected resources such as databases and cloud services through the Akeyless Gateway. Its documentation describes policies that restrict what an agent may send, such as queries or commands, and filter the data that comes back, so agents can work without exposing long-lived credentials (passwords or keys that stay valid for a long time).
