Akeyless Unveils SecretlessAI to Secure AI Agents and MCP Servers

Akeyless, the Unified Secrets & Machine Identity Platform for the AI-driven Era, has announced the launch of SecretlessAI™, a breakthrough solution designed to secure AI agents and Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers. This innovative approach addresses the growing security challenges posed by the rapid adoption of AI-driven services.

The Challenge of AI Agent Security

AI agents are increasingly entrusted with accessing sensitive data, APIs, and internal tools across dynamic, distributed environments. However, their reliance on static credentials, embedded secrets, or manually rotated tokens poses significant security and operational risks. The industry faces a crisis of secret sprawl, hardcoded credentials, and limited auditability.

How SecretlessAI™ Works

SecretlessAI™ eliminates the need for embedded secrets by introducing dynamic, just-in-time secrets provisioning. AI agents and MCP servers authenticate using verifiable machine identities, such as cloud IAM roles or Kubernetes service accounts. Key features include:

• Integration with advanced identity frameworks like SPIFFE through SPIRE plugins.
• Built-in PKI-as-a-Service capabilities for automated certificate lifecycle management.
• Centrally managed policies for ephemeral, tightly scoped secrets at runtime.
• Support for Zero Trust and Least Privilege principles.

Benefits of SecretlessAI™

• Reduced risk: Drastically shortens the window of compromise.
• Comprehensive auditing: Provides visibility into every request and action.
• Centralized governance: Enables policy-based access control and full lifecycle automation.
• Scalability: Safeguards sensitive interactions in AI-first architectures.

Leadership Perspective

"AI agents are autonomous actors that interact with other machines, make decisions, and execute tasks independently," said Oded Hareven, CEO and Co-founder of Akeyless. "SecretlessAI™ delivers the trust, scalability, and agility that organizations require to safely embrace the AI revolution."
