Future of Infotech & Security | Virtual Summit

Overview

AI is no longer a user. It is becoming an operator.

Across ANZ enterprises, agentic systems are beginning to execute workflows, trigger transactions, call APIs, access sensitive data and make autonomous decisions — often without a human in the loop.

Yet most identity architectures were designed for employees, not autonomous systems.

Legacy IAM, static entitlements, fragmented policy models and unmanaged machine identities are now becoming systemic risk multipliers. The explosion of non-human identities — service accounts, API keys, tokens, agents and model-to-model interactions — is outpacing governance, visibility and control.

In 2026, identity is no longer an access layer. It is the control plane for AI.

This executive session examines how modern identity architecture — orchestration-first, policy-driven, passwordless and Zero Trust by design — must evolve to secure agentic AI across hybrid and multi-cloud environments.

Factor and Ping Identity will unpack the architectural shifts, accountability models and control layers required to prevent identity becoming the weakest link in autonomous enterprise systems.

What to expect

• Security Agentic
• Attendees 200+
• Governance Unified

What we will cover

• The Identity Blind Spot in Agentic AI As AI systems gain autonomy, ownership of access, decision authority and policy enforcement becomes increasingly unclear. Where does liability sit when an AI agent misuses privilege?
• The Non-Human Identity Explosion Machine identities already outnumber humans. Agentic AI will multiply them again. How do organisations regain visibility, lifecycle control and cryptographic trust across service-to-service environments?
• From Static IAM to Adaptive Control Planes Legacy IAM assumes predictable behaviour. Agentic systems do not behave predictably. Why continuous verification, behavioural context and dynamic policy enforcement are now mandatory.
• Modernisation Without Disruption How ANZ enterprises can evolve IAM architecture — incrementally but structurally — to support AI at scale without introducing operational fragility.
