About this tag
Just-in-time credentials are a security approach that grants temporary, time-limited access to systems and resources only when needed, reducing the attack surface from standing privileges. On WindowsForum.com, discussions cover implementing just-in-time credentials for securing autonomous AI agents, particularly in Microsoft Entra environments. Topics include identity-first governance, Entra Agent ID, and the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to manage agent access. The approach is contrasted with traditional service accounts, emphasizing dynamic, ephemeral credentials to mitigate risks from persistent access. Practical considerations for enterprise IT and security professionals are highlighted, focusing on Microsoft identity and access management solutions.
