Identity & Access

As agentic AI adoption grows, organizations are facing new and unexpected cybersecurity challenges. As these agents are deployed to access APIs and services on a massive scale, they can create a dangerous gap in your organization’s defenses – these users are neither human nor the non-thinking machines and “things” of the past, and they require unique approaches to identity security. Without a robust strategy for Identity and Access Management for AI, you are exposed to new threats, from credential theft and privilege escalation to data exfiltration and insider risk. This session will equip you with the knowledge to defend against these emerging threats. We’ll cover how to securely identify, authenticate, and authorize AI agents to perform tasks on behalf of human users, as well as how to govern these agents and manage their lifecycles. Join us to discover how to harness the power of agentic AI while maintaining a strong, defensible security posture.

In an age of rapid digital transformation, legacy identity management systems are becoming liabilities. From over-collection of static data to reliance on outdated verification processes, these systems fall short in today’s threat landscape. This panel will explore the inherent weaknesses of traditional identity strategies and how they contribute to rising security and compliance risks. Industry leaders will discuss the evolving needs of identity programs and what it takes to transition to more dynamic, context-aware frameworks that thrive in an AI-driven world.

What if your privileged access strategy wasn’t just about control, but about resilience? As attack techniques evolve, traditional PAM isn’t keeping up.

Non-human identities (NHIs) — such as service accounts, bots, and IoT devices — now outnumber human identities in many environments and managing them has become one of the most complex challenges in cybersecurity. This panel will focus on the unique threats and operational issues posed by NHIs. Panelists will discuss lifecycle management, access governance, and how AI and automation can help bring order to this fast-growing identity domain. Attendees will walk away with practical guidance for improving visibility, security, and trust around machine identities.

Attacks on user identities and credentials, including sophisticated phishing and biometrics-based attacks, are escalating. Fortunately, technology has evolved to help organizations lock down the user account lifecycle and prevent stolen credentials and breaches. Join this presentation to learn how to leverage today’s technology to future-proof your IAM strategy against current and emerging threats.

As organizations move toward zero trust and AI-enhanced security models, real-time and decentralized identity verification is gaining momentum. This panel will examine how continuous identity monitoring and decentralized identity frameworks can reduce reliance on static credentials, enhance user autonomy, and build greater trust. The conversation will center around practical implementation strategies, use cases, and the evolving standards that make this transformation possible.
