Bringing Identities Into One Common Solution

As artificial intelligence continues to advance, legacy security solutions often turn into silos. Privileged Access Management (PAM), Identity and Access Management (IAM) andon-human identities (NHI) all started as specific types of identity solutions. However, they turn into silos as soon as a single workflow runs across them — that is, when an entity, human or machine, holds an identity in each system.

One approach is extending the rigor of privileged access management to every identity that carries privilege: workforce users, workloads, machines and AI agents. Using a next-generation identity security platform to discover, control and govern all identities eliminates the differentiation between access types or levels, removing the silos that leave modern organizations exposed.

Learning Objectives:

• Understand how uncontrolled agentic access can exploit legacy privileged access technologies, turning identity into a primary attack vector.
• Outline the role that identity plays in tracking and recognizing machines and their activities.
• Establish metrics to measure progress toward adopting a single identity security platform across all levels — from users to workload processes, machines and AI agents
