Secrets Management for AI Agents

Erik Huckle·VP of Product·3 min

Erik Huckle, VP of Product at C1.ai, explains how to handle the credentials and secrets AI agents need to access your systems.

Main Takeaways

  • As AI spreads across the business, sales and marketing teams are building their own apps, but those apps often live in local files or ungoverned URLs that can’t be shared safely.
  • SSO and authorization let teams control who can open an app, how long they have access, and who they can share it with.
  • Time-boxed, expiring credentials replace plain-text API keys, and activity tracking flags unused apps so they can be retired.
