Identity governance becomes an executive accountability issue as AI agents and machine identities multiply
The article says human and nonhuman identities, including service accounts, machine identities and AI agents, are changing faster than manual access reviews can track. It cites Foundry research ranking identity security among the top cybersecurity priorities for 2026 and notes that security leaders may face personal accountability after a breach or compliance failure. It recommends continuous identity security: unified discovery of identities, always-on lifecycle management, policy enforcement and access validation, and retained evidence of governance activity for auditors.
