Third-Party AI Agent Security Gaps in Identity Infrastructure
The 2026 State of Agent Security Report highlights that 1,280 third-party AI products embed AI, with 282 accessible via single sign-on and 1,000 not visible to identity infrastructure. This creates a security gap as these agents operate outside identity governance, exposing vulnerabilities in AI-driven environments.
In environments studied for the 2026 State of Agent Security Report, roughly 1,280 third-party products now embed AI. About 282 of them sit behind single sign-on. The other thousand are invisible to identity infrastructure by default, not because anyone hid them, but because an identity stack can only govern what authenticates through it, and most agents never do.
That gap is the clearest
