On October 13, 2026, Entrust Chief Operating Officer Anudeep Parhar said that enterprises may deploy millions of AI agents in the future, and that authorization and accountability will become key to scaling agentic commerce. Entrust pointed out that authentication can only determine whether an agent can access a system, while runtime authorization must further determine whether it is permitted to perform a specific action. To address auditing and regulatory requirements, enterprises need to ensure that high-impact operations can be traced back to the authorizer and that relevant evidence is retained.
