NTT DATA AIVista and Snowflake: Identity Alone Won’t Secure Enterprise AI Agents

At VB Transform 2026, NTT DATA AIVista and Snowflake warned that many enterprises still let AI agents share credentials, increasing incident risk.

They said secure deployment needs scoped credentials, per-action authorization, and tamper-resistant audit trails—not identity controls alone.

The speakers said agents should be governed more like interns than trusted employees, with layered controls at both the platform and session levels.

The message is especially relevant for regulated sectors like insurance, healthcare, and finance, where compliance and forensic accountability matter most.
