Why Nobody Is Talking About AI Agent Security | Ayesha Dissanayaka

When it comes to Identity and Access Management for AI Agents, few people are exploring the space as deeply as Ayesha Dissanayaka. Ayesha is an Associate Director and Architect at WSO2, where she works on Identity & Access Management, Agent Identity, and security for Agentic AI systems. I recently had the opportunity to meet her at MCP Developers Summit Bengaluru, where she delivered an insightful session on secure authorization for AI agents. Ayesha's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ayeshadis... In this podcast, Rajan Sharma sits down with Ayesha to dive into a topic that deserves far more attention: AI Agent Security. Our conversation explores: • Why traditional authentication and authorization models break down for AI agents • The growing need for Agent Identity • How agents can securely act on behalf of users • The role of CIBA (Client-Initiated Backchannel Authentication) • What builders should understand before deploying agents in real-world systems • Where identity and security are headed in the Agentic AI era Ayesha also shares her perspective on the future of AI agents, IAM, and the challenges organizations will need to solve as autonomous systems become more capable. #AIAgents #AISecurity #AgenticAI #IAM #IdentityManagement #MCP #ArtificialIntelligence #CyberSecurity #WSO2
