DigiCert: AI agent governance needs automated runtime attestation

DigiCert's AI Trust framework assigns cryptographic identities to AI agents, using runtime attestation and an "agent passport" federated across companies. In its survey of 1,001 IT leaders, three quarters deployed at least four AI systems in six months and as many suffered an AI-related security incident.

• Three quarters of 1,001 respondents deployed 4+ AI systems in six months
• As many suffered an AI-related security incident
• One customer creates 300–400 AI agents per week
• Only half can trace AI decisions back to models and data
