How Security Leaders Can Manage Identity Sprawl Across Humans, Machines and AI Agents

September 21, 2026

Identity has evolved far beyond managing human access. The rapid adoption of cloud technologies, automation tools and agentic AI is challenging traditional identity governance. Non-human identities — service accounts, APIs, bots and AI agents — often outnumber human users by more than 100 to 1, yet they operate with limited visibility and control. Meanwhile, agentic AI identities can act autonomously, accessing systems and making decisions independently.

 

Join identity security experts from Optiv and Saviynt as they discuss how organizations can improve visibility, reduce risk and strengthen enterprise identity security programs. This session will cover strategies for extending identity governance beyond human users, applying lifecycle management and least-privilege principles to machine and AI identities, and practical ways to operationalize identity as a continuous security control.
