Strengthening Identity Security in an Era of Cloud, Automation and AI

As agencies expand their use of cloud platforms, automation and AI, the number of identities accessing sensitive systems is growing rapidly, and so is the risk.

Today’s identity landscape includes not only employees and administrators, but also contractors, service accounts, machine identities and emerging AI-driven access points. Many of these identities operate with elevated or outdated privileges, creating opportunities for attackers to exploit credentials, move laterally and gain access to critical systems without triggering immediate alarms.

Join us for a live webinar as we explore why identity is now a primary attack path in the public sector and how organizations can reduce risk by modernizing their approach to privilege and access management.

Our speakers will discuss:

  • Why identity has become a top security risk 
  • How human, machine and AI identities are expanding the attack surface
  • The risks of excessive privilege and outdated access models
  • Strategies to reduce lateral movement and credential-based attacks

Practical steps to strengthen identity security, visibility and control.

This session is designed to provide updated information, expert insights and practical advice. We hope you can join us. Attendees of the live webinar will receive a complimentary certificate of attendance.
