Strata Identity, the Identity Orchestration company, has been recognized by Gartner as a Sample Vendor in the Agentic Identities category within the Emerging Tech Impact Radar: Global Attack Surface Grid report. This recognition acknowledges Strata's approach to managing digital identities for autonomous AI agents that perceive, reason, and act independently within enterprise systems. The company's Maverics platform provides identity orchestration that extends zero trust principles and lifecycle management to both human and agent identities.
Strata Identity recognized by Gartner for Agentic Identities
Addresses identity management for autonomous AI agents
Extends zero trust principles to agentic identities
Provides lifecycle management for AI agent identities
Supports human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive actions
Enables policy enforcement without application changes
The Gartner report highlights that traditional cybersecurity and identity access management frameworks are inadequate for managing risks posed by dynamic, ephemeral AI agents. Strata's Maverics platform treats every AI agent as a first-class identity with the same rigor as human users, providing zero-trust governance. The platform issues short-lived, scoped credentials at runtime and enforces fine-grained, policy-as-code authorization, including human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive actions, while maintaining observability and auditability of all agent activities.
Strata Identity's CEO emphasized the importance of evolving identity management for the AI era. "We believe being recognized as a Sample Vendor by Gartner in the Agentic Identities category supports Strata's vision that identity must evolve to keep pace with the rise of AI agents," said Eric Olden, CEO of Strata Identity. "As AI-driven systems gain autonomy and scale, enterprises will need identity orchestration that can extend zero trust principles and life cycle management to these new agentic identities."
The recognition comes as adoption of agentic AI is expected to accelerate significantly. Gartner projects that "by 2026, 40% of enterprise apps will be integrated with task-specific agents, up from less than 5% now." This rapid growth necessitates advanced security solutions specifically designed for agentic identities to enable secure scaling of agentic systems across enterprise environments.
Strata's Maverics platform uses an identity-aware, MCP-native proxy that enforces policy without requiring changes to existing applications or microservices. This approach allows organizations to manage agentic identities as new entities or hybrid entities while maintaining security controls. The platform ensures that every agent action is treated as a policy-enforced, observable, and auditable event in real-time, addressing the unique challenges posed by autonomous AI agents operating within enterprise systems.
Strata Identity enables organizations to orchestrate and modernize human and agent identities without disrupting existing infrastructure while maintaining a frictionless user experience. By decoupling identity from applications, Strata's Maverics platform unifies SSO, can rationalize redundant IdPs, and ensures continuous access during outages via IdP failover. It enables organizations to extend Zero Trust controls across human, machine, and autonomous AI identities.
