Monitoring and Auditing Agentic Identities With Descope

Non-human identities (NHIs) such as services, agents, and API clients are increasingly prevalent in large organizations, with a current ratio of 20:1 compared to human identities. These NHIs handle production data, initiate transactions, and make decisions, but lack visibility compared to human sessions, making them a black box. Descope's Agentic Identity Control Plane provides essential visibility and auditing across the NHI lifecycle, comprising stages like registration, consent, connectivity, and termination. Descope logs granular audit events that help developers track when new apps are registered, when consents evolve, and when external connections are made, ensuring each identity operates with the least privilege necessary. This audit framework is crucial for maintaining security and operational integrity as NHIs dynamically register, request scopes, and connect to external systems. Descope also offers tools for extending visibility through custom audit events and integrating audit logs into existing observability stacks, thus facilitating a comprehensive understanding and management of NHIs.
