We're delighted to be hosting an exclusive conversation with David Allan, Chair of the CREST UK Council, whose cybersecurity career spans from serving as a Royal Signals Operator in the British Army to helping organizations make informed decisions about cyber risk.
As AI reshapes the identity landscape, David will share practical insights on how security leaders can ensure their cloud IAM strategies are prepared for the new era of AI-driven identities, evolving threats and increasingly complex access environments. Traditional IAM and threat detection were designed around human behaviour. AI agents operate continuously, at machine speed, and can hold significant standing privileges, making compromised AI identities potentially powerful and difficult to detect.
In this fireside chat, we’ll explore how AI is reshaping the cloud threat landscape, the blind spots created by unmanaged and over-privileged AI agents, and practical strategies for detecting, containing and preventing attacks targeting AI-driven identities.
Join us to:
- Understand the emerging threat landscape around AI agents and NHIs, including credential theft, privilege escalation, agent hijacking and supply-chain style attacks that exploit machine identities
- Identify the blind spots attackers exploit, from excessive standing privileges and shadow AI deployments to gaps in visibility, logging and accountability that let malicious activity hide in plain sight
- Learn how to harden your environment with practical detection and response strategies, including anomaly detection for machine behavior, dynamic least privilege, identity lifecycle controls and containment playbooks built for an autonomous, AI-enabled attack surface
