Transformational Journey IAM needs to take for Agentic AI Era

AI agents are already inside your enterprise. But, who controls their access?

The era of Agentic AI is here and identity must rise to the challenge. The key? Access control. With 97% of AI-agent related breaches stemming from inappropriate access, it has never been more critical for enterprises to understand and control AI access.

Join Phil Venables (Cybersecurity Leader), Tarun Thakur (Co-Founder & CEO, Veza) and Ben de Bont (CISO, ServiceNow) for a strategic discussion on how IAM must transform to meet the realities of autonomous AI agents, non-human identities (NHIs), and machine-driven decision-making.

In this informative session, they’ll explore:

  • A CISO’s perspective on identity in the face of AI
  • AI governance challenges and steps to least privilege at scale
  • Veza’s recent launch of Veza Access Agents 
  • Helpful resources to help enterprises adopt AI with confidence

During this session, you’ll learn how to achieve:

  • Complete visibility into AI agents across Microsoft, AWS, Salesforce, Google, OpenAI, Azure, and GitHub MCP servers
  • Clear insight into what agents can access, including data, systems, models, and secrets
  • Human ownership and accountability for every AI agent, with alerts when ownership changes
  • AI Security Posture Management (AI SPM) to continuously assess permissions, configuration, and access risk
  • Reduced blast radius and prompt-injection risk through least-privilege enforcement
  • Faster, safer AI adoption with evidence-based security and GRC approvals
  • Stronger alignment with emerging AI regulations and frameworks like OWASP Agentic Security
