# Abdel Fane
Cybersecurity architect and founder of OpenA2A, building identity management for autonomous AI.

## About

Abdel Fane builds security infrastructure for the AI era. As the founder of OpenA2A, he created Agent Identity Management (AIM), an open-source platform designed to keep autonomous AI agents secure in production environments.

Before focusing on machine identities, he spent nearly two decades securing enterprise systems across healthcare, finance, and government. Today, he advocates for treating AI agents with the same strict trust frameworks we apply to human users. Through cryptographic keypairs and behavioral scoring, his work prevents autonomous agents from becoming a vulnerable attack surface.
