Senior Information Security Analyst – Agentic AI Identity Governance
Role Summary: The Senior Information Security Analyst – Agentic AI Identity Governance will lead the design, implementation, and oversight of identity governance controls for autonomous and semi-autonomous AI agents operating across enterprise systems. This role focuses on ensuring that agentic AI systems are governed as non-human identities with clearly defined ownership, least-privilege access, auditable actions, lifecycle controls, and human accountability.Key Responsibilities

• Establish and maintain identity governance standards for agentic AI systems, including registration, classification, ownership, entitlement management, and lifecycle governance for AI agents.
• Define access control models for AI agents based on least privilege, segregation of duties, just-in-time access, delegated authority, and policy-based authorization.
• Partner with Cybersecurity, IAM, AI Engineering, Risk, Privacy, Compliance, and Legal teams to ensure AI agents operate within approved enterprise guardrails.
• Develop governance processes for agent onboarding, approval, credential issuance, privilege assignment, access review, suspension, decommissioning, and emergency revocation.
• Assess risks associated with autonomous agent actions, tool use, memory, decision-making, system-to-system access, and privileged operations.
• Implement monitoring and audit requirements to ensure AI agent activity is observable, attributable, reviewable, and traceable to accountable business owners.
• Support the development of policies for human-in-the-loop oversight, accountability boundaries, escalation procedures, and exception handling.
• Conduct periodic access certifications, control testing, gap assessments, and maturity reviews for agentic AI identity governance capabilities.
• Contribute to threat modelling for AI agents, including identity misuse, privilege escalation, credential compromise, unauthorized tool invocation, data exposure, and autonomous policy violations.
• Prepare executive-ready reporting on control effectiveness, residual risk, remediation progress, and compliance posture related to agentic AI identities. Required

• Identity governance for human, privileged, service, machine, and AI-agent identities
• Role-based, attribute-based, and policy-based access control models
• Privileged access management and just-in-time access patterns
• Security logging, auditability, identity analytics, and access anomaly detection
• AI agent risk assessment, control mapping, and governance framework development

• Cross-functional collaboration with AI engineering, enterprise architecture, cybersecurity operations, compliance, and risk teams Success Measures
• AI agents are inventoried, classified, assigned accountable owners, and governed through approved lifecycle processes.
• Agentic AI access is provisioned according to least privilege, reviewed regularly, and revoked promptly when no longer required.
• High-risk AI agent actions are observable, logged, auditable, and mapped to accountable human oversight.
• Control gaps, policy exceptions, and residual risks are documented, prioritized, and remediated within agreed timelines.
• Stakeholders have clear, actionable reporting on Agentic AI identity governance posture, risks, and remediation progress.
