A practical workflow

  1. Centralize passwords, passkeys, and secrets in encrypted, policy-governed vaults with least privilege access controls.
  2. Stream audit events to SIEM and automatically suspend compromised accounts for security compliance.
  3. Grant AI agents only the credentials a workflow needs, approved by a human, without exposing secrets to the AI model.
