Rethinking Privileged Access for the Age of AI-Powered Attacks
- Understand why privileged access management, built around occasional human logins, does not hold up against machine identities requesting access constantly
- See how AI agents and service accounts accumulate standing privilege faster than security teams can track it
- Learn how to bring discovery, ownership, and just-in-time access to credentials that were never designed to be reviewed or rotated
- Get a practical starting point for extending existing PAM investments to machine identities before agentic AI widens the gap further
Privileged access management was built on a simple assumption: a human logs in, does something sensitive, and logs out. That assumption is breaking down. Service accounts, automation scripts, and now AI agents hold standing privilege around the clock, request access on their own schedule, and rarely get the scrutiny a human administrator would. AI is only raising the bar: attackers can now discover credentials, map identity relationships, and escalate privileges autonomously, turning any one of these overlooked accounts into a path to critical systems faster than traditional workflows can respond.
Non-human identities already outnumber people in most environments, and privileged access is where that gap matters most. It is the layer attackers and, increasingly, autonomous agents actually try to reach. Closing it is not a separate initiative from your existing PAM program. It's the next stage of it.
Alejandro Leal, Senior Analyst at KuppingerCole, opens with the independent research view: why privileged access programs built for human behavior create blind spots once machines and agents are doing the requesting, and what a privileged access model built for both actually needs to account for.
Rob Ainscough, Chief Identity Security Advisor – EMEA at Silverfort, follows with the practitioner's view: how organizations are discovering and governing privileged machine access today, where vaulting and just-in-time access hold up under agentic AI, and where they need to be rethought.
Who Should Attend
Ideal for CISOs, security leaders, IAM and PAM professionals, identity architects, and IT security teams looking to secure privileged access and stay ahead of risks introduced by AI agents and machine identities.
