Uncovering the Hidden Risks of the AI Race - EMEA

Rapid AI adoption is exposing gaps in identity security, particularly in governance, visibility, and control over non-human identities. Findings from the 2026 Identity Security Report highlight a growing disconnect between perceived readiness and actual security maturity, with organizations struggling to monitor AI usage and manage unsanctioned tools.

Key challenges include limited visibility into identities, weak governance over AI systems, and insufficient real-time validation of AI and non-human activity. The discussion outlines how these risks impact security posture and where organizations remain vulnerable. It also provides practical steps to strengthen oversight, improve identity controls, and manage AI-driven access at scale, helping security leaders address emerging threats tied to accelerating AI adoption.
