About this site
SHORT ANSWER
NextGen Identity Security compares identity security products by topic: AI agents, threat detection, non-human identities, MCP, workforce IAM and visibility.
What this site covers
Six topics where identity has changed fastest: AI agents acting on behalf of people, attacks on the identity layer itself, the service accounts and keys that sit alongside employees, the Model Context Protocol that connects agents to tools, the workforce identity provider underneath all of it, and the visibility needed to clean it up.
- AI agent security and identity: credentials, per-call authorization and accountability for agents.
- ITDR: detecting and stopping attacks on identity systems.
- Non-human identities: service accounts, API keys, tokens and secrets.
- MCP security: gateways that sit between agents and the tools they call.
- Workforce IAM: the identity provider employees sign in with.
- Identity visibility and hygiene: finding stale, excessive and weakly protected access.
