In recent incident investigations, Unit 42^® analyzed AI-assisted cyberattacks where intruders moved from entry to full operational control in under 10 hours — tradecraft that previously took weeks. However, the underlying attack chain hasn't changed: Every lateral move requires a privileged identity.

With machine identities outnumbering humans 109 to 1 and autonomous AI agents rapidly joining the enterprise workforce, what were once identity best practices are now mission-critical. Securing all of your identities — human, machine and agentic — is what prevents an initial intrusion from becoming a breach with business impact.

Join Palo Alto Networks experts Eric Sun and Vlaho Djurkovic for a practical session and Idira^® product demo. If you already run Palo Alto Networks, you’ll see how Idira brings identity into the platform you trust.

What You’ll Learn and See:

• The New Rules of Privilege Hygiene: Vault and rotate the accounts you have to keep, make the rest just in time and give every AI agent a human owner and a broker.
  

• Privilege Controls for People: Least privilege on the endpoint, firewall admin password rotated by policy and Azure admin access that leaves zero standing privileges.
  

• Servers with no Standing Access: SSH with a short-lived certificate instead of a stored key, with the session recorded.
  

• The Future of Work: AI coding agent working through the Idira identity broker, reading a ServiceNow incident and diagnosing a Kubernetes server with no stored keys or passwords.
