No organization can ditch access recertification overnight. But that doesn’t mean it has to stay a permanent part of access governance. Change is happening - driven by automation, short‑lived credentials, and the rise of bots and agents that can handle access decisions faster and smarter than ever.
As machine identities, automated workflows, and just‑in‑time access models become more common, the old habit of regularly reviewing static access starts to fade. Instead of constantly re‑checking standing privileges, organizations are finding ways to avoid granting them at all.
This discussion looks at how enterprises can take practical steps toward automated, event‑driven access controls and near‑zero standing privileges. We’ll talk about the growing role of bots and non‑human identities, how automation is changing governance, and what a realistic transition looks like - balancing innovation with compliance and everyday needs.
