Arkion

Identity governance for the agents nobody owns

TorontoBusiness softwareLive product

PITCHED AT THE TORONTO NIGHT ON 17 SEPTEMBER 2026

Enterprises are deploying AI agents faster than anyone is tracking them, and the executives who answer for those agents often cannot say how many are running or who owns each one. Arkion discovers the non-human identities an enterprise has created, gives each one a verifiable certificate-based identity, and revokes it when the agent is retired.

Every enterprise that started using AI agents quietly acquired a second workforce. Those agents hold credentials, reach into real systems and act without a person in the loop, and the security executives who answer for them usually cannot produce a list. When an agent is retired, or starts behaving in a way nobody intended, there is often no owner on record and no clean way to take its access away.

Arkion treats that as an identity problem rather than a monitoring one. It scans an environment read-only, gives every machine identity it finds a certificate that is time-limited and revocable, and records who owns it, so a retired agent loses access the way a departing employee does. The founders come out of the enterprise security industry, one of them having built and sold a managed security practice, and they have published their governance model as an open standard rather than keeping it inside the product, which is a bet that the category needs a shared vocabulary before it needs another tool.
