AI agents keep data access after tasks end, Delinea finds

Security firm Delinea reports that AI agents often retain access to company data even after their assigned tasks are complete. The finding highlights a growing gap between AI adoption and access management practices, raising concerns that unused permissions could become an attack vector. Cybersecurity watchers are treating it as a warning that organisations need to automate deprovisioning for non-human identities.

Why now: New research flags a fresh security risk just as companies are rapidly deploying AI agents with broad data permissions.
