Gartner IAM analysts Rebecca Archambault and Paul Rabinovich join the Identity at the Center podcast for the first time to preview the Gartner IAM Summit in Las Vegas (December 7–9) and discuss AI's impact on identity 3:11.
Key Takeaways:
• The summit theme is "Reshaping Identity in the Age of AI," but content stays balanced—covering zero trust, IGA, machine identity, PAM, and more for audiences from newcomers to CISOs 13:15.
• A third-year interop, sponsored by the OpenID Foundation, demos MCP and standards for agentic AI with ~five vendors showing cross-domain scenarios end-to-end 20:43.
• Becky's talk frames identity's "Renaissance"—a boardroom seat—built on good data, runtime authorization (critical for governing AI agents), and modernized architecture 28:32.
• Paul's session covers securing AI agents: per-agent identity/ownership, just-in-time access via gateways, policy-based human-in-the-loop, and unsolved intent-based access control 42:12.
• Practical tips: use the conference navigator app, book one-on-one analyst sessions early (open November 9), and note the venue is Caesars Forum (behind Harrah's), not Caesars Palace 50:00.
The London summit follows March 8–9 with more European-focused content 27:21. The episode closes with Vegas hidden-gems and plugs for the podcast's new IDAC bot and free IAM 101 training series 1:03:55.
