Your next "user" isn't human, it's an AI agent. Agentic AI is poised to become your largest digital workforce, operating autonomously and introducing unique challenges to traditional cybersecurity paradigms. These agents lack moral compasses, don't follow security policies and find unpredictable ways to accomplish tasks - yet they require access to sensitive patient data and critical systems.

Traditional identity frameworks weren't designed for non-deterministic actors that never repeat actions identically. Without discrete agent identities, granular permissions and human oversight checkpoints, healthcare organizations face compliance failures where audit trails can't distinguish agent behavior from human activities, creating accountability gaps in regulated environments.

Led by Jamey Doherty, senior sales engineer at Ping Identity, the session will cover:

• Establishing discrete identity and permission models for managed agents versus personal AI tools;
• Implementing tiered supervision from autonomous operation to human-in-the-loop approval workflows;
• Designing delegation frameworks that prevent impersonation while maintaining compliance-ready audit trails.
