AI UNLOCKED SERIES: From Identity to Intent - Solving the Authorization Problem AI Agents Expose
TOPIC:
AI agents will break your authorization model, but not for the reason you think.
DESCRIPTION:
The way most companies control what software can do was built on an assumption no one questioned – until agents showed up.
Join your cybersecurity peers and colleagues for an Executive Lunch & Learn roundtable exploring one of the assumptions being tested by agentic AI: the gap between granting an agent access and authorizing what it actually does with it.
Look past the stolen credentials and agents gone wild. This session goes after the flaw underneath, and what it will take to fix it. We'll explore why authorization has to move to the moment of each action, and what it means to weigh an agent's intent, not just its identity and permissions, in that decision.
WHAT WE'LL COVER:
● Real incidents where guardrails failed to contain an agent
● The hidden assumption that kept broad credentials safe – and why agents break it
● Why deciding access upfront no longer works
● What intent has to do with authorization
