Join Nishad Sankaranarayanan, Head of IAM at Genuine Parts Company (GPC), and StrongDM to discuss why static credentials can’t survive cloud speed, and how the control plane you build for developers today becomes the security foundation for Agentic AI tomorrow.

Why Join: The "Front Door" is Broken: Discover why modern breaches bypass static credentials and "login-based" security, and why the math of cloud access demands a shift to continuous Runtime Authorization.

Zero Standing Privilege is Possible: See how to eliminate the trade-off between speed and security by authorizing actions in real-time, enforcing policies at the query level rather than the network level.

Prepare for the Agentic Future: Learn why non-deterministic AI agents will break traditional access models, and how to future-proof your architecture to handle machine-speed authorization securely.
