If an AI agent logs in as you, uses your credentials and does something you never intended, what will the logs say? Probably that you did it.

That question kept coming back during our latest NYC CxO Security Forum, which we hosted this time at the DLA Piper Offices. We brought together security, technology, risk and legal leaders to work through what happens when non-human identities start doing considerably more than running a scheduled job.

Identity is evolving rapidly as organizations navigate non-human identities, AI agents, and increasingly complex access environments. In this CxO Security Forum discussion, cybersecurity leaders explored the challenges of managing identity at enterprise scale, reducing standing privileges, and adapting security controls for an AI-driven world. The takeaway: strong identity governance, clear accountability, and visibility into every identity are essential to securing what comes next.
