DigiCert Launches AI Trust Manager to Govern Autonomous Agents
What happened
DigiCert released AI Trust Manager, which is now generally available as part of the DigiCert ONE platform. This software is designed to help organizations manage and control AI agents operating within their businesses and across external systems. The tool uses an AI Passport, a cryptographically signed credential, and policy-based permissions to verify an agent's identity and limit its access to data and actions.

Why it matters
The launch addresses a governance gap created by AI agents performing tasks like writing code and making decisions with limited human involvement. This comes as Australian businesses report a rising number of AI-related security issues, according to a DigiCert survey of IT and cybersecurity leaders.
