AI Agent Security
Overview
How does AI Agent Security work?
AI Agent Security scans your entire stack, including cloud, SaaS, on-premises, and data systems. It maps every agent's identity and access, so you always know who and what can reach your data.

How does ServiceNow AI Agent Security handle non-human identities (NHIs) and AI agents?
AI Agent Security treats AI agents as first-class citizens in the Access Graph. It discovers AI agents across your environment, maps their true permissions, calculates their blast radius, assigns owners, and continuously monitors permission sprawl. Governance that once took manual effort now happens automatically. AI agent risk surfaces in ServiceNow AI Control Tower.
What are non-human identities?
Non-human identities (NHIs) are service accounts, API keys, tokens, bots, and secrets that applications and systems use to authenticate and access data. At a typical enterprise, machines outnumber humans 100 to one, but most organizations have no visibility into their NHIs, what they can reach, or who owns them. ServiceNow discovers every NHI automatically, maps its true permissions and blast radius, assigns human ownership, and continuously monitors for access sprawl before it becomes a breach.
How are AI agents different from non-human identities?
NHIs such as service accounts, API keys, tokens, and secrets have predictable workflows, whereas AI agents are more dynamic and can adapt based on requests. Identity and Access Security maps human, non-human, and AI agent identities in a single solution, so you can see all your identity risks together.
Why manage human, non-human, and AI agent identities together?
Fragmented tools create blind spots. You can't see if NHIs or AI agents are over-privileged, if it's accessing the same resources as a dormant service account, or if removing one human's access accidentally breaks an agent workflow. Managing all three in one solution means you see the full picture using one source of truth. Other vendors require separate tools, which costs more, takes longer, and leaves gaps.
What is a blast radius?
A blast radius is the scope of damage if an identity is compromised. If an identity is compromised, how many systems can it reach? How much data can it access? How many other identities would be affected? Understanding blast radius before an incident happens means you can respond faster and contain damage.
