Entrust Launches AI Trust Accelerator for Production AI

Entrust has launched the Agentic AI Trust Accelerator, a new co-development program. This program aims to help companies move autonomous AI agents from pilot projects into production. Here's the thing: many AI agents are stuck in testing because organizations can't answer basic questions about authorization, permissions, and proof of actions. The Accelerator addresses this by building an identity infrastructure based on verifiable identity, real-time authorization, and cryptographic proof of action. This approach draws on Entrust's existing work in identity verification and digital certificates. The company is responding to a governance problem, as a study found 77% of organizations report AI adoption outpacing their governance capabilities. Initial efforts will focus on regulated environments, covering verifiable identity for people and agents, authorization controls, a cryptographic layer, and accountability for a verifiable record of agent actions. The bottom line is that this program seeks to provide the trust infrastructure necessary for AI agents to scale safely and efficiently.
