What is AI agent action governance?

It's the layer beyond identity—rules on what agents do, with params, conditions, and approvals. Stops rogue rewrites or commits.

Why did RSAC 2026 focus on identity only?

Quick wins for visibility in exploding agent fleets. But incidents prove it's table stakes, not checkmate.

Will action governance tools ship soon?

Expect pilots from CrowdStrike et al. by mid-2027. Startups move faster—watch for open-source plays.
