The shift from people-centric security to platform-driven security is no longer a future concern — it is happening right now. As organisations deploy AI across cloud applications, the identity of who (or what) is accessing systems has become the most contested frontier in cybersecurity.
Drawing from hands-on experience as both CTO and CISO at a large-scale technology operations company, this session unpacks how traditional security models break down when AI agents, cloud platforms, and distributed human workforces converge. We explore how identity has evolved from a username and password to a dynamic, behaviour-driven signal — and why Zero Trust is the only architecture that scales in this new reality.
The session will cover:
How AI is reshaping the identity perimeter across cloud apps
Why the human factor remains the biggest vulnerability — even on intelligent platforms
Real-world Zero Trust implementation across distributed teams and cloud environments
AI as both an attack surface and a defence mechanism
Governance, compliance, and building security culture at scale
Key Takeaways:
1. A practical understanding of how identity management must evolve for AI-powered cloud environments
2. A Zero Trust framework applicable to distributed workforces and multi-cloud platforms
3. Insight into how AI is being weaponised by attackers — and leveraged by defenders
4. A governance model for cybersecurity that balances agility with compliance
5. How to build a security-first culture across large, distributed teams — where every person becomes the first line of defence, not the weakest link
