About this learning path

This learning path prepares security architects and engineers to secure non‑human identities in Microsoft Entra, especially those created by agentic AI workloads. It explains how AI agents authenticate through service principals or managed identities, the risks of misconfiguration, and the skills needed to design and govern Non-Human Identities security at scale in AI‑driven environments.
