Federated Identity Governance Summit 2026

Cybersecurity Education Seminar

When Cyber Risk Becomes Business Risk, Governance Must Evolve for AI driven enterprise

The conversation has shifted from preventing cyber incidents to governing cyber risk. AI innovations like Mythos from Anthropic are challenging the status quo. Boards are asking different questions. Investors expect greater transparency. SEC cybersecurity disclosure requirements have elevated cyber resilience from an operational concern to an enterprise accountability issue. This executive forum brings together leaders in identity security, risk, audit, and compliance to explore how modern governance practices and technologies are adapting to a world shaped by AI, distributed workforces, and increasingly complex mult-cloud digital ecosystems.

The Governance Gap

The Identity Governance Question Has Changed

For years, identity governance has focused on access reviews, certifications, provisioning, and compliance workflows.

Those disciplines still matter. But the environment around them has changed.
AI agents are entering business processes. Machine identities are multiplying. Cloud platforms and SaaS ecosystems continue to expand. Critical ERP and business applications remain deeply embedded in operations, yet are often governed separately from broader identity programs.

The result is a growing gap between identity governance as a technical function and identity governance as an enterprise risk discipline. This forum will examine that gap.

How should organizations govern access when identities are human, machine, privileged, third-party, and AI-enabled? How can security, GRC, audit, and business leaders establish accountability across fragmented environments? And why do many identity governance programs struggle to deliver the risk visibility and control the enterprise expects?
Identity Types in Scope
Human Identities Employees, contractors, and business users
Machine Identities Service accounts, APIs, and workloads
Privileged Users Admins with elevated system access
Third Parties Vendors, partners, and supply chain
AI Agents Autonomous processes and AI-enabled workflows entering business operations

How do you establish accountability, visibility, and control across all of these identity types in an increasingly fragmented enterprise environment?

Featured Speakers

Independent Voices.
Deep Expertise.

Michael Rasmussen

The GRC Pundit & Analyst

Michael Rasmussen will explore how governance, risk, and compliance models are evolving in response to AI, regulatory complexity, and interconnected digital operations. His session will examine identity as a core element of enterprise risk management and a foundation for trusted digital business.

Peter Hodge

Cybersecurity Leader
Deloitte

Peter Hodge will share a cybersecurity perspective on identity as a critical control point in modern risk management. His discussion will address emerging identity threats, AI-enabled cyber risk, multi-cloud complexity, and the role of identity governance in building resilient security programs.

Jeff Hare

ERP Risk Advisor
Enterprise Governance Expert

Jeff Hare will examine the often-overlooked intersection of identity governance, ERP security, segregation of duties, and business process risk. His session will focus on why enterprise applications must be part of the identity governance conversation, especially as AI and automation reshape business operations.
A Cross-Disciplinary Executive Discussion

Identity governance can no longer be viewed through a
Single Lens.

Security leaders see identity as an attack surface. GRC leaders see identity as a control and accountability issue. Audit leaders see identity as evidence of compliance and operational discipline. Business leaders see identity as a foundation for secure, efficient execution.
This summit brings these perspectives together to discuss a central question:
How can organizations establish continuous, federated governance over access across cloud platforms, enterprise applications, human users, machine identities, and AI agents?

Security Leaders

See identity as an attack surface requiring continuous monitoring and adaptive controls.

GRC Leaders

See identity as a control and accountability issue tied to compliance and risk frameworks.

Audit Leaders

See identity as evidence of compliance and operational discipline across the enterprise.

Business Leaders

See identity as a foundation for secure, efficient execution of business operations.

Discussion Themes

What We'll Be Exploring

AI and Autonomous Access

How AI agents, automation, and machine identities are changing traditional assumptions about access ownership, approval, monitoring, and accountability.

Multi-Cloud and SaaS Complexity

Why fragmented technology environments make identity risk harder to see, measure, and govern.

Enterprise Application Risk

How ERP, financial, HR, supply chain, and other business-critical systems create access risks that traditional IGA programs often fail to address fully.

GRC and Regulatory Pressure

How identity governance supports compliance, audit readiness, control effectiveness, and emerging expectations around AI governance.

Executive Cybersecurity Training Event

Participants will learn how emerging cybersecurity risks from AI tools such as Mythos fit into the broader Enterprise Risk Management framework and evolving SEC expectations for cybersecurity risk management, governance, and disclosure.

Why IGA Programs Stall

A candid look at why identity governance deployments are often narrowed, delayed, or disconnected from broader enterprise risk objectives.

Toward Federated Governance

What it means to move from siloed identity controls toward a governance model that connects security, compliance, business applications, and operational risk.

An Executive Forum, Not a Product Event

The Federated Identity Governance Summit is designed as a focused, peer-level conversation among leaders navigating similar challenges.

The agenda emphasizes independent perspectives, practical lessons, and cross-functional dialogue rather than product presentations.

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of how identity governance is changing, where current programs often fall short, and how organizations can build more resilient governance models for the AI-enabled enterprise.
