What gaps did RSA 2026 agent identity frameworks miss?

Self-modification (agents tweaking rules), permission drift (scopes expanding unchecked), and ghost agents (untracked stragglers post-pilot).

How do you secure AI agents beyond identity?

Layer on verification tests (like AUTH-001 suite) and governance gates (constitutional AI blocking bypasses).

Will agent security slow down AI adoption?

Yep — until layers catch up. 85% testing, 5% production? Trust gap's the killer, not tech.
