NHI & AI Identity Summit : Where Traditional IAM Breaks

Where Traditional IAM Breaks: Rethinking Trust for Autonomous Identities | NHI & AI Identity Summit | IDV 2026Traditional IAM was built around identities that could be defined, governed and reviewed. But what happens when AI agents become autonomous, unpredictable and capable of acting at machine speed?In this session from the NHI & AI Identity Summit at Identiverse 2026 (IDV 2026), identity and cybersecurity leaders explore where traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) breaks down and how organizations need to rethink trust, access governance and identity security for autonomous AI agents.The panel explores the shift from static access and periodic reviews toward intent-driven access, dynamic governance, continuous authorization, least privilege, Zero Trust and identity posture management.Speakers:Elisa Abedrapo — Identity Services SM, EpsilonHomayun Yaqub — Advisory Services, Digital HandsItamar Apelblat — Co-Founder & CEO, Token SecurityAlexis Moyse — Co-Founder & CEO, Clarity SecurityWhat You’ll Learn:• Why traditional IAM struggles with autonomous AI agents• How AI agents create a fundamentally different identity class• Why access governance needs to move from permissions to intent• How dynamic governance and continuous authorization could reshape IAM• Whether least privilege, Zero Trust and just-in-time access still work at machine speed• Why identity posture, context and exposure are becoming critical• How organizations can prepare for autonomous and agentic AIChapters:00:00–01:53 — Where Traditional IAM Breaks01:53–03:12 — Meet the Panel03:12–05:34 — Why Traditional IAM Has Never Really Kept Up05:34–06:59 — AI Agents as a New Identity Class06:59–08:13 — From Access Governance to Intent08:13–10:15 — Intent-Driven Access & Dynamic Governance10:15–11:42 — The End of Periodic Access Reviews?11:42–14:25 — Least Privilege, JIT & Zero Standing Privilege14:25–15:55 — Making Identity Governance Dynamic15:55–18:52 — What Is the New Unit of Trust?18:52–20:19 — Protecting What AI Does20:19–23:38 — Is IAM Failing or Is Trust Changing?23:38–25:17 — Rethinking Static IAM for the AI Age25:17–27:42 — The Future of Identity Posture & Exposure27:42–28:50 — Practical Steps for AI Agent Security28:50–30:19 — Closing Thoughts: The New NHI RealityThe NHI & AI Identity Summit at IDV 2026 brings together identity, IAM, cybersecurity and AI security leaders to explore how Non-Human Identities and agentic AI are changing enterprise identity and security.If you're working in IAM, identity security, identity governance, NHI management, machine identity, AI security, Zero Trust or cybersecurity, this session offers an important look at how trust and access need to evolve for autonomous systems.Subscribe for more sessions from the NHI & AI Identity Summit at IDV 2026.#NHI #NonHumanIdentity #AgenticAI #IdentitySecurity #IAM
