PANEL: Machines With Identities: Securing AI Agents and Synthetic Actors

AI agents are rapidly becoming first-class digital actors, performing tasks, making decisions, and interacting autonomously across systems. This panel examines why these agents now require identity, trust, and accountability frameworks comparable to human users. Experts will explore emerging models for agent authentication, detecting synthetic identities, and governing autonomous behaviors across complex ecosystems. Attendees will gain clarity on the risks and opportunities of agent-driven interactions, learn how to prepare their IAM architecture for AI-native actors, and understand what trust and control must look like in an autonomous future.
