Authenticate every AI agent before it acts

Agentic AI authentication is the process of verifying that an AI agent has explicit, scoped authorization from a verified human before it executes a sensitive action. It goes beyond API keys and OAuth tokens by binding a credential to a specific human owner, a defined scope, and a validity window that expires automatically.

Runtime authorization means validating an agent's identity and scope at the moment it attempts to act, not just at registration. Most control planes assign ownership once at creation and never check again. 1Kosmos intercepts every execution attempt and requires a valid, time-bound credential before any tool is reached.

Identity for AI agents covers how an autonomous system is authenticated, scoped, and held accountable at the moment it acts. While non-human identity covers service accounts, API keys, and static machine credentials, agent identity addresses a more dynamic problem, as agents are autonomous and capable of taking high-consequence actions like provisioning infrastructure or moving money. When a human is offboarded, the credential tying it to that human is explicitly revoked. 1Kosmos detects the termination event, cryptographically nulls the associated credential, and immediately blocks all requests tied to it. No orphaned API keys, no ghost agents running in the background, and no manual cleanup required.

Traditional IAM governs human access to systems, while IAM for AI agents requires a different model; one that validates credentials at runtime, not just at login, and links every agent action to a verified human owner. 1Kosmos operates at that execution layer, complementing existing IAM infrastructure without replacing it.

Yes. Copilot Studio supports HTTP connectors and custom agent imports. 1Kosmos integrates through the MCP server that Copilot uses to access tools and data, applying step-up authentication and policy enforcement consistently across the Microsoft ecosystem.

When an employee is offboarded, any agent they owned continues executing unless the credential tying it to that human is explicitly revoked. 1Kosmos detects the termination event, cryptographically nulls the associated credential, and immediately blocks all requests tied to it. No orphaned API keys, no ghost agents running in the background, and no manual cleanup required.

Top 50 cyber underwriters now require documented proof that a human validates every agentic workflow making a business decision. 1Kosmos provides the audit trail and human-in-the-loop governance documentation those reviews require.

No. 1Kosmos deploys as an MCP gateway in front of existing infrastructure. Policy is enforced at the network layer, leaving the underlying tool, ServiceNow workflow, or orchestration platform unchanged.
