The shift to passwordless is no longer theoretical. Passkeys are moving into mainstream enterprise deployment, while AI adoption is creating a new class of identity risk that many organizations are not yet equipped to govern. Across the market, 2026 is being framed as a tipping point: phishing-resistant authentication is becoming table stakes, and machine and AI identities are expanding faster than traditional controls can handle.

This session will explore what a modern identity security strategy now requires: stronger authentication, better lifecycle control, continuous risk evaluation, and a unified approach across workforce, customer, and non-human identities. Rather than layering more tools onto an already fragmented stack, organizations need a trust-first architecture that aligns security with usability and scale.
