Identity and data: Governing risk in the age of agentic AI

The dominant narrative this year says agentic AI creates a new security crisis. It doesn't. It exposes a gap that already exists: which data is critical to the business, and which identities can access or control it, answered separately by identity and data programs that can't keep pace as machine identities multiply. Netwrix research shows breach rates rise sharply where AI has significantly expanded access. This session applies a governance, risk, and audit lens to a practical model: mapping business services, critical data, and privileged and non-human identities into one framework for managing cyber risk.
