The modern workforce has changed. The rules are different. AI agents, autonomous systems, and non-human identities are acting across every app, all data, and in every infrastructure.
In this new world, identity is center stage.
UNLOCK is the premier global identity security conference series where we discuss and discover how leading enterprises are securing AI to unlock the potential for their AI-driven transformation.
Join us in Chicago with other business leaders, security innovators, and identity experts to explore what comes next beyond today's challenges and beyond tomorrow's horizon.
What You’ll UNLOCK:

Get a glimpse into the future of identity security with Saviynt. Join us for a full day of insights and strategies from global industry leaders and experts. Here's a high-level look at what we've planned:
The future is what we make of it. But it's based upon the reality of today. Join Saviynt identity experts in this Masterclass as we examine the state of identity security for AI today and explore where it's headed. We'll first cover real-world examples and use cases, along with best practices and tips for governing AI identities.
Then, we'll dive into what's on the horizon: how to be prepared for what's next — and keep your organization secure — while adapting your current program for the current iteration of agentic AI and its next evolution.
Experience the enterprise of the future, where every identity, including AI agents, can work and thrive — securely. Automatically discovered, each action authorized, and fully managed throughout their lifecycle. The key to making it all happen is AI-first identity security. Still, there is still much work to be done if organizations are to implement AI-native identity security.
In this session, we'll examine Saviynt's vision for identity security as paradigms shift and AI becomes even more embedded into the very foundation of the modern enterprise and discuss the innovations coming to Saviynt, including key updates across Zuma, IGA, PAM, and AAG. Learn how your organization can deliver a single control plane for every identity — human, non-human, and AI — and application and truly make identity the core of AI security.
AI is changing how organizations manage access, govern identities, and protect sensitive systems. In this discussion, Deloitte will share what it is seeing across the enterprise landscape, including emerging risks from AI agents and non-human identities, evolving governance requirements, and the operational challenges security leaders are working to solve. The session will highlight practical lessons from early adoption and the actions organizations should take now to prepare their identity programs for an AI-first future.
AI has changed all the rules. Legacy identity processes just don't fit how AI functions, thinks, or even the speed at which it moves, leaving many organizations struggling to answer:
"How do I discover all my AI and non-human identities — and actually fix Shadow AI?" "How can I ensure everyone builds secure, visible AI apps and agents?" "How do I enforce runtime access controls?" "Who owns our agents and how do I know what those agents are doing?" "How do I enforce zero standing privilege?"
Learn how to answer these and more by examining real world use cases and examples, and you'll walk away with the blueprint for discovering, protecting, and managing all your AI identities.
For many, AI is still an unknown force that raises both security and organizational questions. As we look toward a more autonomous future, where AI is empowered to execute on more tasks, be embedded in more workflows, and even take over entire sets of processes and functions, the bottom line is: how do we keep our enterprises safe?
In this session, we'll explore AI's impact so far, how organizations are holding both it and human identities accountable, and methods for ensuring we don't lose control.
As AI agents become more integral to every enterprise workflow, privileged access for AI agents is quickly rising to the forefront as one of the most critical governance challenges.
In this session, we'll explore how autonomous systems and identities (e.g., AI agents, service accounts, bots, and even applications themselves) are changing how we look at — and solve for — PAM in today's AI-powered enterprises.
As AI evolves from strategy to execution, identity has become the main attack surface. AI does not just access data; it acts on it. The surge of autonomous agents, unapproved GenAI usage, and machine-scale privileges has outpaced traditional security controls, forcing leaders to rethink access and governance from the ground up.
Join executive leaders for a realistic look at current market behaviors, critical adoption hurdles, and how identity platforms, zero-trust architectures, and cloud providers must collaborate to secure an automated future.
Will AI eliminate manual access reviews? Will AI agents soon outnumber employees? Can identity governance ever become fully autonomous? In this interactive session, PwC and Saviynt will examine some of the biggest claims surrounding AI and identity security. Through live audience polling, rapid-fire debate, and examples of what organizations are implementing today, the speakers will separate near-term reality from long-term possibility — and identify what security leaders should be preparing for now.
Meet the customers and leaders shaping AI-ready identity security.
