Organizations deploying AI agents lack infrastructure to decommission agents, revoke credentials, and audit permission changes over time. Abandoned agents retain active credentials indefinitely, and existing IAM systems were built assuming identity holders cannot autonomously escalate privileges or spawn child identities. This creates a systemic ghost-agent problem that grows with every new deployment wave.

Organizations have no way to track, audit, or offboard AI agents — abandoned agents retain live credentials indefinitely, creating an ever-growing ghost-agent attack surface that traditional IAM cannot detect or remediate.

Security and platform engineering leads at companies running 10+ AI agents across production systems (dev tools, cloud infra, SaaS integrations).

Enterprise security teams already pay heavily for human IAM (Okta, CyberArk, SailPoint) and are panicking about unmanaged agent credentials — this is the agent-native equivalent arriving exactly when the ghost-agent problem is exploding from the 2024-2025 agent deployment wave.

MVP is an agent registry with credential discovery (scan OAuth tokens, API keys, service accounts), a lifecycle dashboard (spawn lineage, permission drift, last-active signals), and a one-click revoke/quarantine flow — integrate with GitHub, AWS IAM, and Okta first via their APIs.

Subset of the $20B+ IAM market; if 10% of enterprises need agent-specific lifecycle tooling within 3 years, that's a $2B+ addressable segment growing with every agent deployed.
