Zero Trust and Identity: Evolving from Humans to AI - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

Zero Trust started as a way to protect human users logging into applications. Over the past decade, it has expanded to workloads, cloud services, and machine identities. Now, with the rise of agentic AI, enterprises must confront a new challenge: how do you apply identity-driven security to autonomous systems that act, decide, and interact on their own? In this session, Chris Owen (dotNext Europe) and Apurva Dave (Aembit) trace the evolution of Zero Trust through the lens of identity. From workforce IAM to PAM, from service accounts to non-human identities, and now to AI agents, they’ll map the journey — and the pitfalls. They’ll show how legacy approaches break down, and how organizations can evolve toward policy-driven, workload-centric, AI-ready identity models. Attendees Will Learn: – How Zero Trust has evolved—from securing humans and workforce IAM to workloads, APIs, service accounts, and now autonomous AI agents. – Real-world patterns and pitfalls organizations face when adapting Zero Trust to non-human identities. – A practical framework for “AI-ready Identity & Access” and how policies can govern machine-to-machine and agent-to-agent access.
