About this episode

This episode explores the future of identity governance in 2026, focusing on the challenges posed by AI agents and non-human identities in the security landscape.

In 2026, the biggest identity challenge won't be people - it will be AI agents, machines, and non-human identities. The security landscape is shifting rapidly as automated bots, API tokens, and service accounts become primary attack vectors for modern adversaries. In this forward-looking masterclass episode, InfosecTrain breaks down the expanding risks associated with unmanaged programmatic assets and analyzes why traditional, human-centric security models fail to protect them. The "course titled" SailPoint IdentityIQ Training Program offers an essential foundational framework for security architects racing to close these visibility gaps.

Discover how to deploy intelligent security architectures to defend complex automated pipelines, establish clear human ownership over autonomous agents, and transition your business into a resilient Zero Trust posture. 📘 What You’ll Learn: The 2026 Identity Landscape: Mapping the rapid expansion of non-human identities (NHIs) and understanding why they outnumber human accounts 10:1 in cloud-native…
