Artificial intelligence has compressed the cyberattack life cycle from weeks to minutes by automating reconnaissance, exploitation, lateral movement and data theft. Meanwhile, enterprise defenses still depend on human queues, periodic reviews and change windows. As non-human identities multiply and agents gain broad access, organizations must govern identity and response at the same speed as autonomous attacks.

In this session, led by Saurabh Srivastava of Hilton, you will learn:

• How measuring defensive latency reveals the gap between the initiation of an attack and the corresponding response from security controls;
• Why continuous behavioral verification must supplement MFA by detecting abnormal locations, access requests and machine speed activity;
• How least privilege, named owners, expiry dates, dual-channel checks and automated step-up challenges can constrain agents while reserving human judgement for high-risk decisions.
