AI & IAM: Where Security Gets Superhuman (Or Supremely Stuck) - Matt Immler, Heather Ceylan, Alexander Makarov, Nitin Raina, Dor Fledel, Aaron Parecki - ESW #427
At Oktane 2025, leaders from across the security ecosystem shared how identity has become the new front line in protecting today’s AI-driven enterprises. As SaaS adoption accelerates and AI agents proliferate, organizations face an explosion of human and non-human identities—and with it, growing risks like misconfigured access, orphaned accounts, and identity-based attacks.
In this special Enterprise Security Weekly episode, we bring together insights from top experts:
- Dor Fledel (Okta) explains how teams can gain visibility into AI agents, uncover risks, and enforce appropriate access controls.
- Alexander Makarov (Adyen) shares how a global fintech unified and streamlined identity with Okta, improving both security and employee experience across 200+ countries.
- Aaron Parecki (Okta) highlights the importance of open standards—like IPSIE, MCP, and A2A—for building secure, interoperable AI ecosystems and centralized control over AI-driven interactions.
- Heather Ceylan (Box) discusses how Box embeds AI into workflows to enhance data protection, even for highly regulated industries.
- Matt Immler (Okta) offers lessons from the field on strengthening defenses with behavioral monitoring, automation, and a security-first culture to counter attackers who now “log in” instead of hacking in.
- Nitin Raina (Thoughtworks) warns about AI-driven social engineering—from deepfakes to multi-channel phishing—and shares practical strategies like phishing-resistant MFA, zero-trust architecture, and better employee training.
From open standards to privileged access management and AI-powered defense, these Oktane 2025 conversations explore how identity-driven strategies are shaping the future of enterprise security.
