Governing Humans, Machines and AI Agents at Enterprise Scale
The definition of identity is changing fast. What used to be centered on employees, partners, and privileged users now extends to service accounts, machine identities, APIs, and increasingly autonomous AI agents. For enterprises, this creates a new challenge: the Identity Fabric must evolve from a governance architecture into a real-time control plane for the autonomous enterprise. In this session, Saviynt explores how organizations can extend identity governance beyond human users, improve visibility across non-human and AI-driven identities, and establish policy, lifecycle, and access controls that scale across cloud, hybrid, SaaS, ERP, and AI ecosystems. Attendees will learn why modern Identity Fabric strategies must connect visibility, governance, privilege, and runtime authorization - and what this means for the next generation of IAM programs.
Identity Fabrics were designed to connect and govern identities across increasingly complex enterprise environments. As autonomous identities - including AI agents, machine identities and delegated services - become part of that ecosystem, the underlying architecture must evolve beyond authentication and lifecycle management towards continuous governance and runtime decision-making.
This session explores the architectural capabilities required to extend an Identity Fabric to support autonomous identities while maintaining accountability, trust and control. It examines how organizations can establish ownership, govern delegated authority, preserve provenance across on-behalf-of chains, and enforce runtime authorization policies that remain effective as identities interact across systems and organizational boundaries.
Rather than focusing solely on AI agents, the session presents a broader architectural perspective on how Identity Fabrics can evolve to govern emerging identity types without sacrificing visibility, auditability or business agility.
Attendees will learn:
- How Identity Fabrics can evolve to support autonomous identities alongside human and machine identities
- Architectural approaches for delegation, provenance and accountable ownership
- Why runtime authorization becomes a core capability of the modern Identity Fabric
- Design principles for revocation, policy enforcement and governance across distributed identity ecosystems
- Practical considerations for evolving today's IAM architectures into future-ready Identity Fabrics
