ServiceNow completed its $1B acquisition of Veza, gaining the patented Access Graph technology that maps access relationships across human, machine, and AI agent identities. Veza's "Enterprise Agent Identity Control Plane" quantifies exact action-level blast radius for every AI agent. Context: 88% of organizations report agent security incidents (Gravitee), only 21% maintain real-time agent inventories (Strata/CSA), and 45.6% still use shared API keys for agent-to-agent auth. NIST's AI Agent Standards RFI closes March 9. Okta shipped dedicated shadow AI agent detection. Agent identity governance is now a billion-dollar enterprise category. What to do: Audit your agent fleet. Implement scoped credentials. Submit comments to NIST before March 9 if you ship agent infrastructure. (SecurityWeek, Gravitee)
