This essential discussion confronts the strategic, cultural, and governance risks of failing to adopt AI. The core risk is centered on Identity and Access Management (IAM): the rapid rise of AI agents creates an explosion of machine identities and shadow access that legacy IAM systems cannot govern. Panelists will discuss inaction as a prioritization failure with immediate consequences for risk exposure, architectural maturity, and ROI. Learn how to translate the value of proactive IAM modernization and secure AI adoption into clear, board-level risk metrics, giving you the vocabulary to manage C-suite pressure.
