Extend Your IAM, PAM, and Cloud Investments—Don’t Replace Them.
Scale AI Innovation with Zero Trust Confidence
Business leaders view AI agents as the ultimate productivity multiplier. Security leaders see them as high-risk, unmanaged non-human identities (NHIs) operating at machine speed. Indigo Consulting bridges this divide. We extend your existing Ping, Okta, CyberArk, and Cloud investments into a single Zero Trust identity fabric. Move from experimental chatbots to autonomous, transactional AI agents without compromising your security posture.
Navigating the Dual Realities of Agentic AI
To succeed with agentic AI, enterprises must solve two problems simultaneously: driving business velocity while enforcing rigid administrative controls. Indigo provides the unified strategy.
The Business Goal
Trusted Autonomy
You need agents to make purchases, execute APIs, and process data without constant human hand-holding.
Regulatory Compliance
You must prove to auditors that autonomous AI actions are authorized, bounded, and traceable (EU AI Act / ISO 42001).
The Identity Challenge
Privileged Access Management (PAM)
Agents require high-privilege access. Without Just-in-Time (JIT) elevation, a compromised agent becomes a permanent backdoor.
Non-Repudiation & Audit Trails
Can you distinguish a user's action from an agent's? Without Token Exchange and OBO flows, audit trails are broken.
Identity is the New Perimeter for AI
Traditional firewalls and legacy service accounts cannot stop an AI agent that holds valid credentials. Static setup creates an exploding attack surface.
Service Account Failure
Static API keys and service accounts were built for predictable software—not AI. A single compromised credential, an agent acquiring a new skill or a leftover can cause widespread, machine-speed damage before a human even notices or take action.
Accountability Gap
When an agent acts using a cloned user token, downstream systems cannot distinguish the human from the machine, creating an audit black hole. Without true delegation, meeting compliance regulations is impossible.
Consent Fatigue & Shadow AI
Agents can trigger a very large amount of authorization prompts. To silence it, users reflexively approve dangerous requests. They also often lack appropriate context to make informed decision. Without centralized control and enterprise approved target systems, employees can spin up "Shadow AI," connecting ungoverned agents to sensitive data.
Identity is the New Perimeter for AI
Traditional firewalls cannot stop an AI agent that has valid credentials. We implement a Zero Trust Architecture specifically designed for the high velocity of machine-to-machine interaction
The Agentic Zero Trust Framework
Each pillar directly solves a failure mode of traditional security, creating a complete and enforceable posture using the platforms you already own.
Enterprise Workload Identity
We move you beyond static, long-lived API keys to cryptographically verifiable workload identities. Leveraging native capabilities of major cloud providers and leading IAM platforms and standards, agents receive short-lived, metadata-enriched identities without relying on human-managed secrets.
True Delegation (On-Behalf-Of Flows)
Agents must never impersonate users. We implement OAuth 2.1 On-Behalf-Of (OBO) flows so access tokens carry two distinct identifiers: the human who delegated authority, and the specific agent actor executing the task. Every action is definitively linked to both to preserve a non-repudiable audit trail.
Centralized Authorization & MCP Security
We decouple the Policy Decision Point from the Policy Enforcement Point to centralize guardrails across your estate. Indigo secures Model Context Protocol (MCP) or specialized gateways deployments by blocking anonymous agents, enforcing Enterprise Managed Authorization, and applies guardrails that tokenize or mask PII before it reaches an LLM.
Automated Agent Lifecycle Management
With hundreds of agents operating simultaneously, manual credential rotation is impossible. We leverage robust IAM provisioning tools and open protocols to automate agent onboarding and offboarding; giving security teams an “instant kill switch” that de-provisions a compromised or misbehaving agent across all integrated systems immediately.
Meaningful Human Oversight & Recursive Delegation
For high-risk or irreversible actions; deleting data or initiating financial transactions, autonomous execution is paused until approved. We integrate Client Initiated Backchannel Authentication (CIBA) to push out-of-band approval requests to a user’s trusted device, ensuring a Human-in-the-Loop. When agents delegate to sub-agents, Scope Attenuation ensures downstream agents never exceed the authority of the primary agent while limiting actions of the sub agents.
