Discover What’s Next in Identity Security
In modern enterprises, three types of identities need protection: humans, machines, and now AI agents. As agentic AI adoption accelerates, these autonomous systems combine the access needs of machines with the complexity of human users.
With identity now the new security perimeter, fragmented tools are no longer enough. Organizations need a unified approach to secure all identities across people, machines, and AI.
Identity Security: Unleashed for the AI Era is a limited episode series by Akeyless exploring how enterprises can extend protection to AI agents while strengthening security for every identity type.
Hear from industry experts, see real-world examples, and discover how unified identity security can enable the next generation of secure, AI-driven enterprises.

Episode 2 - Convergence in Identity Security
Akeyless Co-Founder & CEO, Oded Hareven sits down with DJ Goldsworthy, Global Security Technology Officer at Aflac, for a candid discussion on how AI is reshaping the identity landscape. Together, they unpack what fragmentation across IAM tools and policies really looks like inside a large enterprise, and how that complexity amplifies risk as organizations adopt AI agents and automation.
DJ shares firsthand insights on managing this growing complexity, from secrets sprawl to certificate chaos, and explains why a “shift identity left” approach is becoming critical to securing the modern enterprise. The conversation explores the path toward convergence, where IAM, secrets management, and access controls align under a unified strategy built for the AI era.
