"AgentID" is a generic term — like "password" or "login". Anyone can use it, and three products currently do. When a vendor sells you "agent identity", the name is the easy part. The question is what happens to the record after the action.

When a vendor sells "agent identity" or "agent accountability", ask this: can I verify the record without asking your permission?
If the records live on the vendor's servers, "forensic" is a marketing word. If you hold the pen, it's a diary. One update and history changes.
