Curity Launches Access Intelligence for Real-Time AI Agent Authorization
We are happy to introduce Access Intelligence, a runtime authorization capability built into the Curity Identity Server that gives enterprises real-time control over what AI agents can access and do.
The problem Access Intelligence addresses is not identity — it is access. Most enterprise security infrastructure was built around authentication: verifying who is requesting. AI agents, however, are not users. They act across systems, trigger chains of actions and rarely make single requests. Access can't be a one-time decision: every step needs to be evaluated, in real time, based on what the agent is doing at that moment and on whose behalf.
Access Intelligence handles this across four capabilities:
-
Ephemeral Clients. Agents authenticate and receive scoped access for a single interaction. No persistence, no lifecycle, no standing access. The risk disappears with the session.
-
Token Intelligence. A token is issued with exactly what is needed for that action — who is acting, who they represent and what is allowed. Defined upfront. Nothing assumed.
-
Runtime Authorization. APIs evaluate and enforce access continuously — allow, limit or deny — at every step of the agent's workflow.
-
Human-in-the-Loop. High-risk actions require approval before proceeding. Trust is verified, not assumed, with governance and compliance built in.
Access Intelligence is built into the Curity Identity Server and works with any IdP, API gateway or AI gateway, with no new systems and no architectural changes required.
Authentication is a moment, but authorization is a process. Most identity systems were built for the moment. We built for the process." - Jacob Ideskog, CTO at Curity.
