About this episode

James Wilson interviews Fletcher Heisler about how AI is influencing privileged access management.

In this Risky Business sponsored interview, James Wilson chats with Authentik Security CEO Fletcher Heisler about how AI is driving a need for privileged access management to adapt. Fletcher explains Authentik’s approach: each agent has its own identity, begins with no permissions and is tied to a human. They also discuss transferring ownership when employees leave, mitigating risks of agents creating identities for each other, and whether task-based access could eventually be a better fit than clock-controlled access.
