The programme builds upon the expertise of Entrust in identity verification, cryptographic identity, PKI, certificates and key and secrets management to meet security requirements at any point in the agentic AI journey.
These capabilities are fundamental to extending trust and governance for autonomous agents acting across applications, systems and organisational boundaries.
Enterprises need cryptographically verifiable identity and proof of action that can travel across systems, partners and workflows to complement platform- or policy-driven controls.
This infrastructure is particularly vital for organisations operating within regulated sectors.
Need for continuous verification
Emanuel Figueroa, Senior Research Analyst, Identity Security, Worldwide at IDC, explains that governance is becoming a continuous discipline as agentic AI becomes embedded in enterprise operations.
He says: “As agentic AI becomes embedded in enterprise operations, governance is evolving from a point-in-time exercise to a continuous discipline. While AI agents increasingly perform tasks traditionally associated with human workers, their autonomy introduces new challenges for oversight, accountability and risk management.
“Organisations therefore need more than static controls; they need continuous verification throughout the agent lifecycle. The goal is not simply to control AI agents but to operate with confidence that they are appropriately authorised, governed and acting within established business, security and regulatory boundaries.”
