Identity, AI & Access: Highlights from Identiverse 2025 – Treb Ryan, Sagi Rodin, Amir Ofek, Artyom Poghosyan, Ajay Amlani, Ajay Gupta – ESW #414
Single Sign On (SSO) and Multi Factor Authentication (MFA) is critical to secure operations for companies of all sizes. Why is the foundation of cybersecurity still locked behind enterprise licensing? Single Sign-On (SSO) and Multi-Factor Authentication (MFA) are essential—not optional—for protecting modern businesses. But today, these critical tools are overpriced, overcomplicated, and reserved for companies that can afford to overpay and have full-time security teams. That’s broken. Cubeless is tearing down the barriers. With Cubeless Verify, we’re delivering SSO and MFA that anyone can use—no IT army required. No hidden fees. No contracts. No catch. Just enterprise-grade security made simple, and free forever. The gatekeepers had their turn. Now it’s yours. Go to https://securityweekly.com/cubelessidv to start using Cubeless Identity today.
As AI agents move beyond experiments to becoming critical internal and market-facing enterprise products, secure, scalable identity infrastructure becomes essential to achieve market-readiness. A lack of identity standards tailored specifically for AI agents, is creating a roadblock for developers. Existing infrastructure was not designed with autonomous agents in mind. How will identity standards need to evolve in order to meet the needs of an agent driven ecosystem? https://frontegg.com/product/frontegg-ai This segment is sponsored by Frontegg.
