Identity and Access for AI Agents: What 200+ Enterprises Are Actually Doing

AI agents are already operating across enterprise environments, interacting with APIs, data platforms, and automation workflows. Yet most identity and access models were not designed to represent them. Based on new research conducted with the Cloud Security Alliance, this session examines how organizations are handling AI agent identity and access today, where gaps are emerging, and what those patterns mean as agent adoption continues to expand.

Attendees Will Learn

How AI agents are currently represented across identity systems (and where that breaks down)
Why access is often inherited rather than explicitly scoped for agents
Where ownership of AI agent identity and access actually sits across security, engineering, and IT teams
What makes attribution difficult when agents operate under shared or human identities
How organizations are controlling agent behavior today, and where those approaches fall short

Who Should Attend

CISOs and security leaders, along with security engineers, IAM architects, DevSecOps teams, and platform engineers responsible for securing application, workload, and AI-driven access across enterprise environments.
