What's new in IAM: Security, governance, and runtime defense

Google Cloud has introduced a new security and governance paradigm for managing AI agent identity and access, focusing on Agent Identity and Agent Gateway with Identity-Aware Proxy. This framework integrates robust agent access management, guardrails, and runtime defense to secure cloud environments. Agent Identity provides verifiable identities for AI agents, while Agent Gateway enforces policy enforcement for agent connections. This shift in security is necessary for the AI era, where traditional controls are insufficient. Organizations should explore these new capabilities to ensure secure cloud environments.
