Then came service accounts and API credentials. Now? We\u2019re facing an explosion of machine identities, including a brand-new class of AI identities that blend human and machine characteristics.\u00a0 How do we manage identity and access for software systems that behave like human users?<\/p>\n<p>Join us for a discussion of:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>What makes AI identity management different from traditional IAM<\/li>\n<li>Why valid account abuse remains one of the top attack vectors \u2014 and how AI could amplify it<\/li>\n<li>The risks of giving generative AI systems the keys to the kingdom<\/li>\n<li>How enterprises should think about AI access control and governance<\/li>\n<li>Why there\u2019s still no clear standard for securing AI and non-human identities<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The opinions expressed in this podcast are solely those of the participants and do not necessarily reflect the views of IBM or any other organization or entity.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/think\/podcasts\/security-intelligence\/ai-agent-access-problem-iam-handle-ai\">Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The AI agent access problem: Can IAM handle AI? | Security Intelligence https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/think\/podcasts\/security-intelligence\/ai-agent-access-problem-iam-handle-ai Publish Date:&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":219963,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.ibm.com\/content\/dam\/worldwide-content\/creative-assets\/iwci\/ul\/g\/71\/0b\/security-intelligence-thumbnail-3000x3000-250905.png\/_jcr_content\/renditions\/cq5dam.web.1280.1280.jpeg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[15],"tags":[26],"class_list":["post-219962","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cybersecurity","tag-ai"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219962"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=219962"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219962\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":219964,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/219962\/revisions\/219964"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/219963"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=219962"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=219962"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news-you-need.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=219962"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
