The Three Identity Problem: Surviving Identity Security's Chaotic EraIdentity security has entered its chaotic era. Human, non-human, and agentic AI identities no longer just coexist. They form an uncontrolled inheritance chain in which a human creates an agent, the agent spins up service principals, OAuth grants, and role assignments, and that whole chain keeps running long after the human changes roles or leaves. Most of these chains are being spawned by business users on low-code and enterprise AI platforms, outside traditional identity controls and largely invisible to security.In this segment, Radiant Logic CEO Dr. John Pritchard joins us to unpack why this is no longer a visibility problem. It is an observability problem. And it is shifting the center of gravity in identity security from authentication to authorization. Listeners will leave with a clearer view of where their current IAM, IGA, and NHI programs fall short, and a practical lens for governing the rapidly expanding population of AI agents already inside their environments.To go deeper on what John discussed today, watch Radiant Logic's on-demand webinar Identities Under Attack: How Adversaries Exploit the Human-Machine-Agent Divide at https://securityweekly.com/radiantlogicidv.Cassie Christensen from Saviynt
Everyone Wants an AI Assistant. Few Are Ready to Govern OneExplore a growing reality many professionals can relate to: the appeal of using AI agents to handle the work that keeps piling up - from inbox management to research and logistics - and the governance challenges that quickly follow. The real barrier to scaling personal or enterprise AI agents isn’t the technology itself, but defining clear roles, access boundaries, oversight, and lifecycle management. As organizations deploy more autonomous AI agents, the same identity frameworks used to govern workforce and non-employee identities must now evolve to manage AI-driven access before scale and risk outpace control.This segment is sponsored by Saviynt.

From Sales Engineer to Forward Deployed Engineer: The Rise of Hybrid Technical RolesAs technology organizations evolve, technical roles are becoming increasingly fluid - particularly at the intersection of product, engineering, and customer success. This conversation explores what it means to be a modern sales engineer and how the role is increasingly expanding into responsibilities often associated with forward deployed engineers: translating complex technical capabilities into real-world outcomes, solving customer challenges in real time, and serving as a critical bridge between product teams and end users. At the center of this evolution is a customer-first mindset - one that prioritizes listening, adaptability, and long-term partnership. As organizations race to innovate, the companies that stand out will be those that remain deeply focused on customer needs while empowering technical teams to operate beyond traditional role boundaries.This segment is sponsored by Saviynt.

John is the architect of the Three Identity Problem framework, the uncontrolled inheritance chain that forms across human, non-human, and agentic AI identities in the modern enterprise.
