Controlling AI agent and app connections

Cross App Access is a new protocol that lets ISVs enable secure agent-to-app and app-to-app access. This gives enterprise IT admins the power to manage what connects—and to see exactly what’s accessed.

Rising challenges across app ecosystems

Security and integration issues are growing. As employees generate their own AI agents, those agents go untracked and apps act on users’ behalf.

AI agents can cause real chaos

Over-permissioned agents can trigger unintended actions and data exposure.

Risks are ever-multiplying

Shared credentials and embedded tokens lead to security and continuity risks. 

Compliance is on the line

A lack of access control  puts enterprises at risk of compliance violations.

 

Current protocols need to evolve

Existing authentication and authorization protocols must shift to address autonomous agents. 

Identity is the foundation for access control

Moving access decisions from the application layer to the identity provider is the secure and auditable path forward.

Switch to protocol-based trust

Move beyond insecure practices like hardcoded integrations, unmanaged tokens, static API keys, and long-lived secrets.

Enforce enterprise-grade policies

Provide a built-in level of control that ensures only the right AI agent or app gets access at the right time.

Provide better oversight

Grant more visibility, auditability, and command over inter-app communication, so security teams know what’s happening.

Bring trusted connections to the AI era

Cross App Access is an OAuth extension that makes it easier to support secure, controlled integrations at scale. Explore a technical overview along with the big-picture benefits.
