Identity in the Age of AI

Overview

As enterprises rush to embed AI into customer journeys, security operations and back-office workflows, identity is quietly being redefined. It no longer just represents people; it now covers APIs, workloads and increasingly autonomous agents—while attackers use the same AI to launch scalable deepfakes, account takeover and impersonation attacks. In this session, Johan Fantenberg will explore how security leaders can govern AI risk at scale by treating identity as the control plane for the intelligent enterprise: unifying human and non-human identities, moving from one-time authentication to continuous, contextual trust, and using identity to make Zero Trust architectures simpler rather than more fragile. Attendees will leave with a practical leadership lens for connecting AI initiatives, identity, privacy and Zero Trust—plus three concrete patterns to take back to their teams: governing AI agents as first-class identities, closing the gaps between onboarding, access and recovery, and measuring resilience in terms boards understand.

What we will cover

• Identity as the Foundation for AI Governance
• Moving from Authentication to Continuous Trust
• Operationalising Zero Trust in the Intelligent Enterprise
