AI is accelerating the growth of both human and non-human identities across the enterprise. Research from the IBM Institute for Business Value found that 91% of security leaders believe a new cybersecurity approach is needed to address the risks created by increasingly autonomous and interconnected digital environments. As organizations embrace agentic AI, cloud-native architectures, and automation, securing users, workloads, applications, secrets, certificates, and machine identities has become central to enterprise security, governance, and compliance. IBM Verify provides a unified identity-first approach to managing and governing access across human and non-human identities, while HashiCorp Vault helps protect the secrets, credentials, and certificates that modern applications and AI-driven workloads depend on.
As Indian enterprises accelerate cloud adoption, automation, and AI-led transformation, the number of machine identities, service accounts, microservices, and AI agents accessing sensitive systems is growing rapidly. Traditional identity and access management models were built primarily for human users and struggle to address the scale, complexity, and continuous nature of autonomous workloads operating across hybrid cloud, on-premises, and edge environments.
This webinar will explore how HashiCorp Vault and IBM Verify work together to provide a comprehensive identity security foundation for the AI era. Attendees will learn how organizations can establish trusted identities, enforce least-privilege access, strengthen governance, and replace long-lived credentials with dynamic, just-in-time access. The session will cover identity-centric secrets management, privileged access controls, machine identity security, and continuous visibility across hybrid environments, helping enterprises reduce risk while accelerating innovation.
The discussion will also explore why this has become increasingly critical in the context of agentic AI, DPDP readiness, regulatory scrutiny, and the growing need for auditability, identity governance, and security observability across modern digital infrastructure. Through practical examples and best practices, attendees will gain insights into building a security architecture that protects both the people and the autonomous systems driving the next generation of enterprise transformation.
