Agent identity & access

Aembit Workload IAM

A workload identity and access platform that attests the client environment of a workload or AI agent, evaluates a policy at request time, then injects short-lived credentials into the outbound API call so the workload never stores a secret. Discovery and inventory of existing non-human identities is not evidenced.

Ask for a demonstration

Demonstrate an AI agent obtaining a 15-minute credential through client attestation and policy evaluation, and show the access log for a denied request outside business hours.

Capabilities and evidence

Support labels reflect the supplied research. Documentation and vendor claims are not independent product tests. “Not established” means the researcher did not find support; it does not prove a capability is absent.

Vendor claim

Aembit uses client environment attestation for secretless workload authentication so the client does not need a long-lived identity secret.

Limit: Product page does not enumerate attestation methods per platform.

Source s1

Vendor claim

For AI agents, a credential-injection layer sits between the agent and the API endpoint and issues short-lived tokens (described as typically expiring in 15-30 minutes) after policy evaluation.

Limit: Blog post, not reference documentation; token lifetimes described as typical rather than configurable guarantees.

Source s2

Vendor claim

A global policy system defines access between non-human identities across environments and logs access attempts in a single format viewable in Aembit or a SIEM.

Limit: No documented retention period or log schema.

Documented by provider

Aembit documents AI agents as workload identities and applies its attestation, credential issuance and access policy mechanisms to them.

Limit: The documentation describes the mechanism and its applicability; it does not establish coverage of any specific agent framework, nor measured enforcement outcomes.
