Okta's Harish Peri and Accenture's Greg Callegari make the case for treating AI agents as first-class identities - and share what enterprise identity security must look like as agent sprawl accelerates in 2026.
By the end of 2026, enterprises won't just have employees and customers - they'll have hundreds of artificial intelligence agents acting on their behalf, many of which no one formally onboarded, governed or tracked. In this session, Harish Peri of Okta and Greg Callegari of Accenture make one foundational argument: AI agents are identities, and they need to be treated as such. Drawing on real-world client experience and Accenture's 2025 state of cybersecurity research, the two industry leaders deliver a candid take on what enterprise identity security must look like in an agentic world.
The session will also cover:
- Why AI agents need to be treated as first-class identities - with the same visibility, governance and guardrails as any human user;
- How organizations can secure and scale AI innovation across both customer and workforce ecosystems, with identity at the center;
- What 2026 will look like for security teams balancing speed, compliance and control in an AI-driven world.
