Zero Trust Security for Agentic Systems
Published on August 30, 2025 • 5 min read
Traditional perimeter security fails when the "user" is a software agent executing thousands of transactions a second. We need a new model: Identity-Based Agentic Security.

Each agent is issued a cryptographic identity. Every API call, database query, and inter-agent message is signed and verified. This ensures that even if an agent is compromised, the blast radius is contained to its specific permissions.
