Silverfort’s Ron Rasin on the identity crisis of agentic AI

Identity security now spans two extremes. On one end, decades-old infrastructure that was never designed to be secure. On the other, rapidly emerging AI agents and non-human identities that organizations are racing to deploy.

Most security teams sit in the middle, managing expanding identity risk with a fragmented stack of point solutions. As AI adoption accelerates, identity risk is scaling just as quickly. And agentic security is, at its core, an identity problem. The more access an AI agent has to corporate systems, the more powerful — and more dangerous — it becomes.

Without deep identity context, there is no way to make an informed, real-time decision about whether an agent’s action is legitimate or overreach.

In this session, Ron Rasin examines how the industry’s missteps with Active Directory, service accounts, and machine identities created blind spots that still persist — and how those lessons must shape the way we secure agentic AI from the outset.

Ron outlines why identity must serve as the control plane for AI-driven enterprises, and why enforcement must happen at runtime — before access is granted, not after damage is done. He shared recent Silverfort innovations and partnerships with leading AI platforms to deliver embedded identity controls across human, non-human, and AI identities, including Copilot Studio agents, third-party agents, and hybrid environments.

Because when AI begins authenticating at machine speed, reacting is no longer enough.
