Presented by CyberArk     60 minutes     Share Post Share AI agents are beginning to interact with applications, data and critical systems with increasing autonomy. As these non-human identities gain access to sensitive environments, security leaders face a growing challenge: understanding what privileges AI agents have, why they have them and how those privileges should be controlled over time. This changes the role of Identity Security. Protecting the enterprise now requires visibility and governance across human users, machine identities and AI agents, while maintaining least privilege and reducing unnecessary access. Organizations that address these identity risks early can support AI adoption without creating new pathways for attackers. You'll learn how to: Govern privileged access for AI agents and machine identities. Apply least privilege across human and non-human identities. Reduce identity-based attack paths and excessive permissions. Support secure AI adoption while strengthening Zero Trust.
