The identity landscape has already shifted.

Non-human identities vastly outnumber human ones, and the rapid rise of Agentic AI is transforming these identities from passive, deterministic processes into autonomous digital actors, capable of making decisions and initiating actions at machine speed.

As organizations deploy AI agents that operate with limited human oversight, traditional IAM, security, and governance models are being pushed beyond their original design. The results:
A fast-growing, largely ungoverned attack surface
Access that is routinely over-privileged
Unclear accountability, and
Existing controls that are poorly matched to identities that can replicate, reason, and act independently.
