Most Identity Systems Aren’t Ready for AI. Here’s What the Best Teams Did Instead.
AI agents will soon request infrastructure access alongside humans, and most identity systems are not built for that scale. The teams that are ready solved the fundamentals first by eliminating slow approvals, replacing manual workflows, and automatically removing unused access.
This report analyzes real data from Opal’s platform to show how they rebuilt identity governance for the agentic AI era.
