Secure Access Frameworks
AI applications can access sensitive enterprise information.
Overview
AI applications can access sensitive enterprise information.
Security must cover:
Identity ↓ Authentication ↓ Authorization ↓ Least Privilege ↓ Data Access
Identity Federation
Federation allows identities to work across systems.
Conceptually:
Enterprise Identity
↓
Federation
↓
Cloud / AI ServicesThis avoids creating unrelated identities everywhere.
Role-Based Access Control
RBAC means access depends on the user's role.
Example:
Employee ↓ Role: Sales ↓ CRM access
Another user:
Employee ↓ Role: Finance ↓ Financial systems
Least Privilege
Give only required access.
Bad:
AI Agent ↓ Administrator access
Better:
AI Agent ↓ Specific IAM role ↓ Only required APIs/resources
Exam trap
AI should not receive broad permissions simply because it needs to perform multiple tasks.
Use least privilege.
