As enterprise AI agents are deployed in real work systems, existing security and access-control frameworks alone are proving difficult to use for effective oversight, a concern has been raised. Rubrik introduced \"Rubrik Agent Identity\" to control agent access at the tool-call level and said autonomous AI agents need a separate control layer. The company also applied a small language model trained to judge behavior, but said human-by-human approval does not scale.

Cloudflare on Aug. 6 unveiled Cloudflare Wallets and cloudflare.pay, services designed to assign identities to AI agents deployed on its platform and allow them to make online payments within limits set by users. The company said the tools provide a foundation for buyers and sellers to verify counterparties and handle transactions safely. Cloudflare said each account is given a unique web address that serves as a stable ID.
