Zero Trust to Agentic AI

AI agents shouldn’t have admin access. Zentera extends Zero Trust principles to the AI layer - enforcing least-privilege access for every interaction.

The AI Privilege Problem

AI agents are becoming the new digital workforce - but most enterprises give them unrestricted backend access.
That means a single compromised agent can expose critical data across systems.

Common Challenges:

• Over-privileged agents: Excessive access increases breach risk.
• Under-privileged agents: Restrictions limit functionality and ROI.
• Static permissions: Fixed roles can’t adapt to changing user contexts.
• Lost visibility: Without user-context, audits and forensics fall apart.

Zentera’s Answer: Zero Trust Role Inheritance

Zentera enables AI agents to inherit user identities and access rights dynamically, applying the same Zero Trust policies that protect your human workforce.

How It Works

1. Identity Propagation – Users authenticate via corporate directory (AD, LDAP, Okta, Azure AD).
2. Dynamic Role Assignment – Agents inherit user roles; permissions shift in real time.
3. Network-Level Enforcement – Zentera’s CoIP® Platform enforces privileges within Virtual Chambers before any data access.

Key Capabilities

• Granular Network-Level Controls: Permissions adapt per user session.
• Complete Audit Trail: Every agent action maps back to a user.
• Zero Standing Privileges: Access expires when sessions end.
• Seamless Integration: Works with existing ID systems (SAML2, OAuth 2.0, OpenID Connect).
• No Agent Rewrites Needed: Compatible with all major LLM platforms.
