About the session

Everyone is talking about AI and for good reason. As we move into 2026, generative and agentic AI continue to accelerate, leaving organizations at very different maturity levels. Yet security teams face the same mandate: build an AI-ready security strategy that can keep pace with fast-evolving architectures.

As teams deploy GPTs, AI agents, and LLM-driven workflows-often wired into critical systems through APIs and cloud services-one truth stands out: identity and privilege are the foundation of secure AI design and operations.

This webinar provided insights into the key AI trends shaping enterprise environments and pinpoint where identity and privilege controls must be embedded. Topics discussed included zero-trust-aligned AI architectures, just-in-time access for model workflows, privilege and role discovery for AI workloads, IAM considerations for cloud-based AI platforms, and securing machine and non-human identities.
