As we enter 2026, organizations are racing to integrate AI into their products, processes, and customer experiences. But in this rush, we risk building shallow solutions that may unintentionally create tomorrow’s problems. In this forward-looking session, futurist Heather Vescent will introduce a practical approach to future-proofing identity solutions so they remain ethical, resilient and human-centered today and for years to come. Heather will explore the near future when humans interact with digital employees, digital twins, and AI agents. Audiences members will be asked to consider: - How will we verify the identity of an AI agent? - Who is accountable when a digital employee makes a mistake? - What new attack surfaces or business opportunities might emerge in 2026? Heather will walk viewers through a hands-on exercise to help identify the long-term impacts of the agentic web, and how we can prepare for future risks and set our organizations up for future success today. Whether you're a product leader, technologist or security professional, this session will help you and your company ask the right questions and build solutions that stand the test of time.
