Who’s in Control of Your AI? Reclaiming Identity, Trust, and Accountability in the Age of Agents

Agentic AI is breaking identity—and expanding your attack surface. Autonomous systems now request access, assume roles, and mint credentials in real time, creating self-escalating privilege chains traditional IAM can’t see or control.
Static roles and human-centric models don’t survive at machine speed. What’s left is a growing class of ungoverned identities operating inside your enterprise.

This conversation reframes identity as a runtime control plane—enforcing continuous authentication, just-in-time authorization, and accountable delegation across human and AI actors.

Leave with a clear path to extend Zero Trust to AI, where every action is verified, every privilege is ephemeral, and every decision is attributable.

Discussion Questions

 

  1. If an AI agent made a critical decision in your environment today—could you prove who authorized it and why?
  2. How confident are you that AI agents in your environment aren’t accumulating access you never explicitly approved?
  3. If an agent was compromised, how quickly could you detect it—and contain its access?
  4. Can you connect every automated or agent-driven action back to a human decision today?
  5. What would it take for you to fully trust AI agents to operate autonomously in your business?
