Identity security is entering a new phase, one where traditional concepts like users, roles, and access requests no longer hold.

As AI agents, automation, and machine identities rapidly proliferate, enterprises are shifting from a world of human-driven access to one defined by autonomous actors operating at scale. In this new reality, access is no longer static, identities are no longer singular, and governance can no longer rely on periodic reviews or predefined roles.

In this session, we explore how identity is evolving beyond its current foundations and what that means for security, operations, and risk.

We will examine:

• The rise of non-human and AI-driven identities and why they already outnumber humans
• Why role-based access models are breaking down
• The shift from static permissions to continuous, context-aware authorization
• How organizations should rethink identity and its value for security and productivity using of agentic identity solutions

This talk offers a forward-looking perspective grounded in real-world experience, providing identity leaders with a framework for navigating the next era of identity security.
