A Crash Course on Agentic Identity
Everyone agrees that agentic security matters and that identity comes first. Far fewer people can explain what that means when an unknown agent shows up and wants access. This session is the plain-language foundation: what happens the moment an agent lands on your website, and what every CISO and fraud leader should be watching for. No prior knowledge assumed. No vendor pitch.
- What "cryptographic identity" actually means, and why a signed credential isn't the same as an API key or an OAuth token
- The difference between authenticating an agent and authorizing it, and why most tools only do the first
- What happens when every rule you have assumes a human, and agents start transacting for your customers
- Why open standards matter here, and how to avoid getting locked into one AI company the way you got locked into your last vendor
- What actually happens in the seconds after an agent arrives, and the decisions you get to make at each step
