What happened
Matt Caulfield, VP of product, identity at Cisco, discussed challenges related to Identity and Access Management (IAM). He noted that enterprises are adding AI agents, applications, and machine identities faster than they are adding human employees. Caulfield stated that current IAM platforms were not designed to issue verifiable identities or narrow permissions to software agents.

Why it matters
The challenge relates to how enterprises manage non-human digital identities as AI adoption accelerates. This requires new identity architecture to manage a non-human population that could potentially be several times larger than the human one.
