PlainID Named in the 2026 Gartner® Reference Architecture Brief: IAM for AI Agents and Other Workloads Report

▤ Summary

Gartner named PlainID as an Example Technology in the Authorization Management Platform (AMP) category of its April 20, 2026 'Reference Architecture Brief: IAM for AI Agents and Other Workloads.' PlainID's platform uses centralized policy management with distributed runtime enforcement to bind human and AI agent identities and enforce just-in-time, task-scoped access that removes standing privileges. Gartner highlighted the urgent need for new authorization models for diverse AI agents and warned that OAuth 2.0 alone cannot provide fine-grained authorization at enterprise scale. PlainID positions its runtime authorization and Zero Standing Privileges approach as the critical control layer for secure, agentic enterprise workflows.
