The new attack surface: AI, machine identities, and the future of cyber risk

Discover how to turn identity governance into your strongest defense against AI-driven attacks and machine identity risks.

The new attack surface: AI, machine identities, and the future of cyber risk

Description

AI has collapsed the time between compromise and catastrophe. It can clone a CEO's voice, automate reconnaissance, and execute a breach faster than most security teams can react. The result: The network perimeter is gone, and identity has become the new front line. This session brings together leading voices in risk and identity to unpack what that shift actually means in practice, from machine identities and AI-powered social engineering to the operational realities of moving toward Zero Trust. Attendees will leave with a clearer view of how identity governance functions as a core risk control, not just an IT function.
