This course contains the use of artificial intelligence
AI agents are getting access to email, code, cloud accounts and customer data faster than any IAM team can see them. Can you name every agent in your company, its owner and exactly what it is allowed to do?
You already run identity for people: SSO, MFA, roles, joiners and leavers. Agents do not follow that path. A vendor switches on a copilot, a developer ships an agent with a static API key, an employee connects a tool through an OAuth grant, and none of them goes through your onboarding. Nobody owns the agent, nobody wrote down its purpose, and the key it uses never expires. When an alert fires, the SOC cannot tell whether the agent is doing its job or has gone beyond it. When you revoke a key, you cannot be sure the agent has really lost access.
After this course you run AI agents as their own identity class. You know where agents live in your environment and keep them in a registry. Every agent gets an owner, a purpose, data boundaries and a lifetime before it gets access. Static keys give way to short-lived tokens issued for one task. You rotate credentials without downtime and prove with a test that revoked access is gone. Agent logs reach the SIEM and link back to the registry, the SOC has a triage playbook, and when an agent is compromised, you contain it in minutes with a kill switch your team has already rehearsed.
The course is taught by Mike Pritula, founder and head of strategy of Pritula Academy. He is not presented here as a security engineer: he brings the discipline of building processes, owners and rules for new systems, and the technical content is built on public identity standards, such as OAuth 2.0 token exchange, and on cloud provider documentation.

First you learn to see: how an agent differs from a service account and where agents hide in your identity provider, cloud, SaaS consoles, network and code. Then you take control of the agent lifecycle: owner and purpose, short-lived access for one task, and rotation and revocation you can prove. Finally you move into operations: behavioral baselines, agent telemetry in the SIEM and SOC, and incident response with a kill switch. The format is hands-on, built on real-world scenarios, and each lesson stands on its own. A SOC analyst who has to handle an agent alert tomorrow can watch lesson seven tonight and open the triage playbook in the morning.
The course does not cover model security, such as jailbreaks and red teaming of language models, agent development or vendor selection. It stays on identity and access, where your team can act right away.
What's included:
-
Lifetime access to all materials
-
Active instructor support in Q&A
-
Udemy Certificate of Completion
-
A practical assignment tied to your own company in every lesson
-
Ready-to-use tools: an identity class map, an agent registry, an agent card with an onboarding policy, a token and access design with a scope review checklist, a rotation runbook with a revocation test, a detection catalog with a risk score calculator, an agent telemetry schema with a SOC triage playbook and an incident response playbook with a tabletop scenario
Non-human identity is a new field, and the engineers who build agent inventories and response playbooks now will set the rules their companies follow for years. Every month an agent runs without an owner and with a key that never expires is a month of open access nobody watches.
