AI agents are exposing critical flaws in traditional IAM systems. Recent attacks show how adversaries weaponize AI agents to exploit IAM vulnerabilities at machine speed, while prompt injection can manipulate internal agents into malicious behavior.
Traditional IAM, built for human users and static non-human identities (NHI, cannot handle autonomous non-human identities (A-NHI) that operate with unprecedented independence, scale, and contextual adaptability.
This presentation examines how IAM must evolve into agent-aware frameworks, covering architectural design, technical capabilities, and governance models including ownership, provenance, and lifecycle management. We introduce purpose and intent as distinct governance attributes for agentic AI, and show how containment constraints and permission compatibility together provide a two-layer governance architecture for agent-aware IAM.
Securing AI ecosystems demands cross-organizational collaboration to align IAM with business goals while addressing the expanding threat landscape of agentic AI.

As organizations across Europe continue to advance their cloud transformations, they are navigating an increasingly complex landscape shaped by evolving regulatory expectations, heightened requirements for data sovereignty, and heterogeneous operational realities across cloud environments. At the same time, fundamental concepts such as sovereignty, data control, and trust are often interpreted differently by regulators, technology providers, and enterprise teams - creating critical “lost in translation” moments that can slow progress and introduce uncertainty.
This session highlights how organizations can bring clarity to these gaps by establishing a unified, governance‑driven approach to cloud sovereignty. We explore how identity, access governance, and policy‑driven controls form the strategic foundation for securing data, enabling compliant cloud operations, and fostering trusted collaboration across ecosystems.
Participants will gain practical guidance on aligning cloud architecture with regulatory requirements, strengthening identity as a core pillar of digital sovereignty, and enabling innovation with confidence - without compromising on control, compliance, or trust.

Autonomous systems are reshaping modern enterprises and introducing new challenges for information security and digital trust. This session explores the relationship between autonomous systems, information security and digital identities. By examining a concrete threat scenario, it highlights how manipulated algorithms or falsified identities can disrupt system behaviour, compromise core technologies and impact safety, integrity and operational continuity. The presentation also shows how strong, controlled and managed digital identities enable the security of autonomous systems and help maintain confidentiality, integrity and availability across connected production environments.
