Identity Before Intelligence: Securing Hybrid and AI-Enabled Networks

Hybrid networks connect people, cloud services, remote devices and automated workloads. But the introduction of AI assistants adds another access question: when software acts on a person’s behalf, whose permissions govern the data it uses and the actions it takes? A successful sign-in alone does not address that.

In this vendor-neutral session, consultant and business owner Olufela "Lu" Fagbure will work through an illustrative support workflow to show how teams can map human and workload identities, define resource and action boundaries, and separate drafting from approved execution. The webinar connects access policy to enforcement, administrative controls, review evidence and recovery, with practical attention to legacy systems and lean teams.

Attendees will come away from this session knowing how to: - Document one workflow’s access policy. - Identify where authorization must be enforced. - Set a meaningful approval boundary for AI-assisted actions. - Plan a controlled revocation check. A companion worksheet and a suggested 30-day starting plan help turn those decisions into an owner-led review.
