What happens when an AI agent does exactly what it is allowed to do, but not what anyone intended? Identity and access models were built for people and predictable software, and agents challenge some of the assumptions behind them.
In this WiCyS webinar, Amazon will revisit those assumptions, put them to test in a demo, and explore why identity is the layer to rethink as agents take on more work, alone and together.
Key takeaways include a clear way to reason about agent identity and access, a realistic understanding of where current controls reach their limits, and practical insights into securing agents, individually and in combination.
