Prepare for What’s Next in Identity

From AI agents to quantum risk, these six trends are redefining security and trust.

Trust is eroding fast. Only 17% of consumers say they trust organizations to manage their identity data, and attackers are moving quicker than most IAM strategies can adapt. Ping Identity collaborated with Deloitte to break down the six identity trends that will define 2026 and beyond. 

 

From AI agents and helpdesk attacks to hiring fraud, decentralized identity, and quantum threats, it gives you a clear forecast of what’s coming and what to do now to stay ahead.

 

Inside, you’ll explore:

 

  • How agentic AI changes IAM forever and why authenticated delegation and AI-aware identity are now mandatory.

  • Why verification is becoming continuous, powering Zero Trust and cutting threat response times in half.

  • What emerging risks demand action today, from helpdesk impersonation to hiring fraud.
