How to secure your new agentic AI workforce

Food for Thought: The frameworks, technologies and cultural shifts needed to keep up with AI.

In partnership with 

This discussion will explore the frameworks, technologies, and cultural shifts needed to secure the growing “AI workforce,” ensuring productivity does not outpace protection. 

As AI agents increasingly perform autonomous tasks across enterprise systems, a new category of digital identity has emerged, one that demands the same rigour traditionally reserved for humans. But unlike humans, AI agents can scale rapidly, operate 24/7, and even act independently without direct human oversight.

This raises urgent questions about identity governance, authorisation frameworks, and behavioural safeguards. Enterprises must now define how non-human agents are authenticated, what they are allowed to access, and how their actions are continuously monitored and limited. The parallels to human identity governance and administration are clear—what is new is the complexity.

Following the Food for Thought discussion, all attendees are invited to enjoy a private tour of St Paul’s Cathedral, a unique opportunity to explore this iconic landmark together.
