The problem of invisible movement: Why traditional protection isn't enough?
With the rise of agentic AI (systems that are not just chatbots but active workers), the nature of attacks is changing dramatically. According to AuthMind data, more than 60% of enterprises are already using agentic AI in production environments. Worse still, approximately 50% of these AI agents remain completely unknown to security teams.
These so-called "shadow agents" emerge when developers or individual employees deploy automation scripts or AI tools outside official identity management (IAM) processes. For an attacker, this is paradise: once they gain access to one such unregistered agent, they can move through the network at lightning speed. Traditional systems that rely on logs or manual reviews are powerless against such an attack — the attack takes minutes, while human response takes days.
How the Identity Access Flow Graph technology works
Unlike competitors that rely on static records of who has what permissions, AuthMind uses its patented Identity Access Flow Graph approach. This system doesn't just address what's in documentation, but monitors actual behavior on the network.
Instead of merely reading logs (which may be distorted or incomplete), AuthMind performs network activity observation. This means it can:
- Discover new agents: Identify entities that have appeared on the network but have no official record.
- Classify agent types: Using proprietary ML models, determine whether it is a legitimate integration tool or a suspicious script.
- Map ownership: Link a given agent's activity to a specific human owner, which is crucial for rapid response.
This approach puts AuthMind above standard solutions like Microsoft Entra ID (formerly Azure AD) or Okta in the area of non-human identity management. While these platforms excel at managing employee access, AuthMind specializes in the dynamic chaos created by autonomous AI in cloud and hybrid environments.
Three pillars of automation: From detection to immediate action
The new AuthMind Automations feature transforms the platform from a monitoring tool into an active defender. Three main areas can be distinguished:
1. Immediate threat response
If an agent begins exhibiting anomalous behavior — for example, attempting to access sensitive data it shouldn't have rights to, or starting to rotate uncontrollably between systems — AuthMind doesn't just send a warning email. It can immediately revoke tokens, block access, or change credentials without human intervention.
2. Identity management and system hygiene
The platform automatically addresses so-called "identity blind spots." This includes cleaning up orphaned accounts, rotating secrets (secrets rotation), and fixing misconfigured permissions before they become a security incident.
3. Continuous compliance
In an environment where AI agents multiply by 25% every two months, manual auditing is impossible. AuthMind ensures systems continuously comply with established policies and automatically remediates permission deviations.
Practical impact: What does this mean for Czech companies and EU regulation?
For the Czech tech sector, which is heavily represented by companies working with data and cloud services, this announcement is of fundamental importance. With the strict oversight of the EU AI Act, companies will have to demonstrate that they have control over the AI systems they deploy. "Shadow AI" is a regulator's nightmare — if you cannot say who and which agent has access to your data, you risk heavy fines.
Availability and pricing: AuthMind is primarily aimed at the enterprise market (large corporations). Specific pricing is not publicly disclosed, but the platform operates on a SaaS model with individual pricing based on the scope of monitored identities. For Czech companies, this means integration will take place via a cloud interface, while for local implementation, GDPR compliance regarding the processing of network metadata must be considered.
Summary: If your company is starting to experiment with autonomous agents (e.g. via LangChain or AutoGPT), AuthMind offers insurance against the scenario where your own AI tool "escapes" and begins inadvertently misusing corporate resources.
Difference between a human identity and an NHI (Non-Human Identity)?
A human identity is managed using usernames and passwords/MFA. NHIs are identities owned by software, API keys, or AI agents. They are more dangerous because they operate 24/7, have high privileges, and often lack a clear "owner" who would monitor their behavior.
Can AuthMind replace a standard antivirus or firewall?
No. AuthMind specializes in identity and behavior. While a firewall prevents unauthorized network entry, AuthMind monitors what a specific entity is doing — legitimately (or illegitimately) — once already "inside," especially in the case of AI agents.
Is AuthMind compatible with Czech cloud services?
Since AuthMind monitors network activity and integrates via standard APIs (e.g. with ITSM systems), it is fully usable for Czech companies using AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud, which are common in our region.
