CrowdStrike Announces Agentic Identity Provider

CrowdStrike gives every AI agent a trusted identity and continuously controls their access based on real-time context, and expands modern privileged access to where work happens.

AI agents are evolving identity as we know it. They execute code, invoke tools, access applications and sensitive data, and take action on behalf of humans and systems. Increasingly, they operate autonomously and delegate work to other agents. They work at machine speed.

Yet the identity infrastructure enterprises rely on today was built for people and predictable workloads, not autonomous software that can reason, act, and move dynamically across systems. Traditional identity providers force organizations to represent agents through service accounts, API keys, and workload identities. Agents effectively inherit the identity and credentials of the humans they act for, operating under trust established by the existing user. This makes it difficult to distinguish the agent from the person, independently govern what the agent can do, or reliably ensure accountability for its actions. Before an AI agent's access can be continuously governed, the agent itself must first be established as a trusted identity.

Today at Fal.Con 2026, CrowdStrike is introducing Agentic Identity Provider (Agentic IdP) in CrowdStrike Falcon® Next-Gen Identity Security, creating the identity control plane for the agentic enterprise. Agentic Identity Provider gives every AI agent a trusted identity, connects it to the humans and workloads behind it, and gives it only the access it needs, when it needs it.

We're also expanding modern privileged access across SaaS applications, endpoints, code repositories, and cloud infrastructure. This extends Continuous Identity and zero standing privileges wherever humans and AI agents operate.
