The Next Identity Frontier: Securing the Rise of Autonomous AI Agents

As organisations shift from "Chatbots" to "Agentic AI," we are entering an era where AI doesn’t just answer questions—it takes actions. These autonomous agents can now manage calendars, access sensitive databases, and execute code, effectively becoming a new class of "non-human identity." But how do we govern a workforce that moves at machine speed and makes non-deterministic decisions?

Join us for an exploration of the evolving landscape of AI Agent Identity. This session will move beyond the hype to examine:

• The Identity Gap: Why traditional service accounts and machine identities fall short for autonomous agents.

• Standards & Frameworks: A deep dive into emerging best practices from NIST’s AI Agent Standards Initiative and the OpenID Foundation.

• Governance at Scale: How to implement Zero Trust and "Least Privilege" for entities that evolve their own workflows.

• The Roadmap: Practical steps for GRC and security leaders to prepare for a world where every agent is a potential breach vector.

Whether you are a senior leader shaping strategy or a student entering the field, this session provides the blueprint for securing the most dynamic identity type in the modern enterprise.
