Cisco’s Privileged Infrastructure Access ties admin and AI agent privileges to the task
Cisco's new offering addresses the security risk of excessive standing access that network engineers typically maintain on routers and switches. The system ties administrator and AI agent privileges to individual tasks, automatically limiting the scope and duration of elevated access. This approach reduces the attack surface by ensuring credentials are only granted for the duration necessary to complete specific infrastructure work.
Key points
- Targets excess standing privileges held by network administrators on critical infrastructure
- Limits access duration and scope to specific tasks rather than persistent elevation
- Supports both human administrators and AI agents
