The rise of agents demands a fundamental shift in how we define identity. In this session, we’ll share how Google Cloud is unifying agent, human, and nonhuman identity into a standards-based platform designed for a new AI landscape. We’ll also explore how to move beyond the security risks of long-lived, impersonable keys to a future built on open standards like Secure Production Identity Framework for Everyone (SPIFFE). Learn how we’re elevating agents to first-class citizens in the identity and access management world, giving them verifiable, cryptographic identities that allow them to operate with autonomy, security, and full governance. Get the blueprint for securing the transition from human-driven tasks to agent-driven innovation.
