Agent Grant: Agentic AI for Identity Attack Surface Management | Qualys
Summary: Qualys introduced Agent Grant, described as the first agentic AI for identity, inside its Enterprise TruRisk Management platform to measure and reduce identity risk across Active Directory, Entra ID, Okta and other cloud identity providers. Qualys states that over 74% of breaches now involve a compromised identity, and that Agent Grant correlates users, service accounts, machine identities and entitlements to compute an Identity TruRisk score, then recommends or executes actions within ROC guardrails and validates that exposures were closed.
What you should know: Qualys puts the share of breaches involving a compromised identity at more than 74%, and its own framing is that attackers exploit identity gaps in hours while ticket-and-approval remediation takes weeks. The stake it names is proof: whether a fix actually removed exploitable risk or merely moved it to another directory.
