AI briefing: Why machines and agents are rewriting the identity risk conversation
About this talk
AI is no longer confined to pilots and proofs of concept. It is embedded in workflows, decision engines, automation pipelines, and customer-facing systems. As organizations scale AI into production, autonomous agents increasingly operate through identities that carry real permissions across critical systems.
In this executive panel discussion, industry leaders unpack new research findings on AI agents and non-human identities (NHIs). As AI adoption accelerates, so does the growth of supporting machine-driven identities such as service accounts, bots, and robotic process automation. Together, the panel will examine how this expanding NHI ecosystem reshapes enterprise risk by accelerating privilege accumulation, obscuring ownership, and extending access across environments faster than traditional governance models can adapt.
This session moves beyond hype and beyond tooling. Instead, the conversation will explore how autonomy changes accountability, how AI-driven actions compound exposure, and why identity has become the operational control plane for automation at scale.
Attendees will leave with a clear understanding of the Real-time AI Governance and Security Framework and how it applies to governing AI agents and the broader NHI landscape in real time. Before scaling AI further, leaders must understand how access is granted, how it expands, and how it can be controlled continuously.
Reserve your spot to learn:
- How AI agents and supporting NHIs acquire and expand access across enterprise systems
- Why autonomy shifts traditional governance and accountability models
- Where visibility breaks down as AI-driven automation scales
- How organizations should handle shadow AI and employees sharing sensitive data and using unapproved AI tools
- How the SailPoint Real-time AI Governance and Security Framework helps leaders secure AI before risk compounds
