Agentic AI is rewriting hospitals and factories but enterprise identity rules can’t keep up

Only 5% reach production because agents lack governable identities

Cisco leaders say the barrier to agentic AI production isn’t models or compute, but identity governance. With hospitals and factories letting non-human “agents” access sensitive systems, enterprises often can’t inventory, scope, or revoke those identities fast enough. The result: a trust gap and expanding blast radius, solved through secure delegation, cross-domain telemetry, and network-enforced microsegmentation.
