Lumos Launches Albus, The World's First AI Agent for Autonomous Identity Governance

Albus collaborates with IT and security teams automate access policy, reduce risk and bring autonomy to IGA at scale

SAN FRANCISCO and NEW YORK, June 3, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- Lumos, the industry's first Autonomous Identity Platform, has launched Albus, the first true AI multi-agent system to help organizations adopt identity governance and administration (IGA) at scale. Albus is purpose-built to reason through access decisions, explain its recommendations, and take action, helping IT and security teams tackle one of the hardest problems in enterprise security: managing who gets access to what, and why.

The identity landscape is not just complex, it is constantly evolving. The average enterprise manages over 650 applications, and many now have more non-human identities (like service accounts and bots) than human ones. This rapid explosion of access landscape has made manual governance unsustainable in the face of sophisticated AI-based identity attacks. According to the IDSA's 2024 Trends in Identity Security report, 90% of organizations experienced an identity-related incident in the past year, and 84% of those incidents had direct business impacts.

Meanwhile, 50 percent of IGA deployments today are in distress, according to Gartner. Organizations are dragged down by static role models, messy HR data, fragmented systems and brittle workflows that are not designed for a dynamic world - resulting in security risks, productivity drain and rising costs.

Albus is a multi-agent system. It is designed to work with the company environment and leverages its internal data to analyze usage data, peer behavior, HR attributes, and organizational structure. With the right understanding of entitlements and context, Albus makes role and policy recommendations. It explains what each entitlement does, flags unnecessary or risky access, and builds role models that evolve over time. Every decision is transparent and traceable to ensure IT and security teams remain in control.

"Most companies still can't answer the most basic identity question — who has access to what, and should they? In today's world where risk is rising and change is constant, legacy tools are too manual, not proactive and too slow," said Andrej Safundzic, CEO & co-founder of Lumos. "Our customers need autonomy back in their access governance to focus on what matters most. Albus delivers on the promise of Autonomous Identity Governance - helping organizations enforce least-privilege controls, reduce access risk and drive the creation of right-sized access policies without additional headcount."

Albus will also help uncover and investigate anomalous access and in turn, possible security threats, reducing the blast radius of identity threats. Most breaches start with stolen credentials, but once inside, attackers exploit overprovisioned access to move laterally. Unlike legacy IGA systems which just surface static reports, Albus will highlight and reason what is actually risky — based on context and behavior — enabling teams to fix it fast.
