Name
Closing the Identity Blind Spots Across Humans, Machines, and AI
Description

Identity is the new battleground, and organizations have made real progress securing human identities. Yet a critical blind spot remains: machine identities and AI agents.

Machine identities now outnumber humans by orders of magnitude. They're always on, rarely reviewed, and accumulate privilege silently. AI agents are accelerating the problem. Autonomous and often over-permissioned, they operate across boundaries traditional controls never anticipated.

The risk isn't volume. It's invisibility. Attackers don't need a zero-day when a forgotten service account already has privileged access. These blind spots persist not because the problem is unsolvable - but because organizations operate in silos and stack point solutions instead of building a coherent model.

Drawing on real customer conversations, this session cuts through the AI hype and makes the case for a holistic privilege-centric identity security approach applied consistently across human, machine, and agentic AI identities. It’ll challenge attendees to evaluate whether their identity security strategy is genuinely unified, or just well-intentioned silos.
