Integrated access management
Service accounts, API keys, workload identities, and AI agents were built to move fast — and they did. They got created by developers, issued by platforms, and deployed by pipelines, usually without a vault, an owner, or an expiry date.
Most tools in the market can tell you what exists and where the risk sits. That's a start, not a solution. ARCON MIAM sits in the access path itself — vaulting credentials, brokering sessions, issuing short-lived access on policy, and keeping a human accountable for every agent that acts.
One Control Plane for Machines, Workloads & AI Agents
Vaulted, Short-Lived Credentials by Default
Brokered Sessions with Full Accountability
Human-in-the-Loop for Sensitive Agent Actions
Key Features
Seven capabilities that bring every non-human — service accounts, workloads, and AI agents — under one control plane. From first discovery to final retirement.
01
Discovery & Inventory
Continuously find every service account, workload, API client, and AI agent across cloud and on-premises environments. One place to see what exists and who — if anyone — owns it.
02
Credential Vaulting
Bring every secret, key, token, and certificate into a governed vault. Credentials are injected into workloads at runtime — never hardcoded, never exposed to the developer, never sitting in a config file.
03
JIT Issuance & Rotation
Stop pre-provisioning. Issue short-lived credentials on request, scoped to the task, rotated on policy, and retired automatically. Static secrets become the exception — not the default.
04
Session Brokering
Non-humans don't talk to targets directly — they go through the broker. Every connection is authenticated, scoped, recorded, and terminable. The same session discipline you apply to privileged human access — now applied to machines.
05
Federated Agent Identity
AI agents authenticate through their own identity provider, federated with your human IDP. Every action an agent takes carries the identity of the human on whose behalf it's acting — so accountability never disappears.
06
Human-in-the-Loop Controls
Sensitive actions require live human approval — not a policy check. Agents pause, request authorization from the responsible person, and proceed only when it's granted. Agent autonomy with human judgement.
07
Lifecycle Management
Onboard new identities with policy from day one. Attest ownership on a schedule. Detect dormant accounts, stale permissions, and orphaned credentials. Retire what's no longer needed — automatically.
Eliminate Static Secrets in Code
API keys in repos, tokens in config files, passwords in scripts. Replace them with vaulted credentials injected at runtime — and retire the static ones without breaking the applications that depend on them.
Broker Workload-to-Workload Access
Microservices, pipelines, and APIs calling each other with long-lived credentials are standard — and standard isn't safe. Broker every workload connection through the control plane with short-lived, scoped access.
Govern AI Agents From Pilot to Production
Register agents as first-class identities. Federate them with your human IDP. Require human approval for sensitive actions. Monitor every tool they call. The full architecture — not just an inventory.
Cut Over-Privileged Machine Access
Most machine identities hold far more privilege than they use. Right-size permissions based on actual usage, replace standing access with just-in-time issuance, and keep the systems that depend on them running.

Benefits of ARCON | MIAM
Sits in the access path — vaulting, brokering, and enforcing every non-human connection
Machines, workloads, AI agents, and their credentials — one control plane
Vaulted, short-lived, issued just-in-time, rotated on policy, never exposed to the workload
Federated agent IDP, human-in-the-loop approval, brokered tool access, session recording
Every non-human action traces back to a named human owner and a business purpose
Limitations of Other Solutions
Sits alongside the access path — scanning, reporting, and alerting after the fact
Separate tools for secrets, NHI discovery, workload identity, and agent governance
Static secrets tracked in an inventory, with rotation handed off to other teams
Agents inventoried and monitored — running on the same shared API keys everyone else uses
Ownership attribution as a best-effort guess after the fact
