Strata Identity has introduced a new product, Identity Orchestration for AI Agents. Built on Strata’s Maverics vendor-agnostic identity fabric and hybrid air-gap architecture, it provides identity guardrails and observability for AI agents without limiting identity provider (IDP) choice. Strata’s new product issues short-lived, scoped credentials at runtime; enforcing fine-grained, policy-as-code authorization, including human-in-the-loop approval for sensitive actions; and logging every agent decision and MCP-initiated API call for full auditability. Strata’s Maverics treats every AI agent as a first-class identity, governed by the same rigor as human users, to provide zero-trust governance for autonomous AI agents. This industry-first approach handles every agent action as a policy-enforced, observable, and auditable event in real time. Its identity-aware, MCP-native proxy enforces policy without requiring changes to existing apps or microservices. Key capabilities: Dynamic, runtime authentication for agents using delegated OAuth flows—supporting PKCE and SPIFFE/SVID to enable ephemeral, scoped trust without static credentials. Policy-driven, attribute- and context-aware authorization, through On-Behalf-Of (OBO) flows with optional human-in-the-loop verification to enforce step-up approvals for sensitive or high-risk actions. Just-in-time issuance/provisioning of agent identities into any cloud or on-premises IDP, including automatic credential rotation, lifecycle expiry, and ownership assignment. Full-stack observability through OpenTelemetry, providing near real-time, correlated traces of both human and agent interactions for forensic lineage, risk analysis, and audit through your existing reporting and analytics tools.

BNY is to give AI-powered ‘digital employees’ who clean up code and validate payment instructions their own logins to access apps and provide them with email accounts
Bank of New York Mellon has given dozens of AI agent ‘digital employees’ their own logins and will soon provide them with email accounts. BNY chief information officer Leigh-Ann Russell tells that the bank’s AI hub has created two worker personas: one that cleans up code and another that validates payment instructions. The agents have direct managers and, because they have their own logins to access apps like their human colleagues, can work autonomously. Each instance of the agent works in a defined narrow team to avoid giving them access to too much information. BNY is planning to give the digital employees their own email accounts and possibly access to Microsoft Teams so that they can contact their human colleagues with issues. The bank also intends to build agents to carry out other tasks but stresses it is still hiring humans.
Android adds support for OpenID standards to make handling digital credentials easy and secure by allowing any app to potentially become a “credential holder” and perform additional due-diligence steps required to verify any digital document
Google has given Android an OpenID upgrade to make handling digital credentials like virtual driving licences much easier and more secure. With native support for OpenID standards, Android apps and services can talk the same language when it comes to verifying who you are digitally. This update uses Android’s DigitalCredential API to bring in support for OpenID4VP (for showing your credentials) and OpenID4VCI (for getting new ones issued). It’s all part of Android’s push towards using open standards to ensure you’re not locked into one company’s way of doing things for your digital identity. The most obvious use people are talking about is digital identity documents like driving licences, passports, or national ID cards. But the potential goes way further. Google expects developers to get creative, using this tech for all sorts of things you might need to prove digitally. We’re talking education certificates, insurance details, gym memberships, event tickets, work permits – you name it. And it’s not just about official ‘wallet’ apps like Google Wallet or Samsung Wallet holding these credentials. Any app can potentially become a “credential holder.” Once you’ve picked, say, your digital driving licence, Android securely passes the request over to the wallet app that holds that specific licence. That app finishes the process, showing the credential to the verifier. This method also gives the wallet app a chance to “perform any additional due-diligence steps it needs to perform prior to releasing the credential to the verifier,” adding an extra layer of checks if needed. Receiving and storing new digital credentials is also getting standardised using the OpenID4VCI protocol. When someone needs to issue you a digital credential they can use this standard. To make sure Android knows what’s where when it’s time to show a credential, wallet apps need to tell the Credential Manager a bit about the credentials they hold. This info helps Android quickly find the right options for you when a request comes in.
