The event underscored urgent engineering and governance challenges as agent counts scale rapidly.

Last week's Identiverse 2026 in Las Vegas centered on identity for non-human and agentic AI, with vendors and practitioners debating ownership, lifecycle, and enforcement at scale. Forrester reports that Ping Identity CEO Andre Durand framed a shift toward "actions, not access" in his opening keynote. Security Boulevard and GitGuardian both report more than 3,800 identity professionals attended and over 250 speakers covered identity topics. Coverage from vendors such as Radiant Logic highlighted sponsorship and product-led sessions on unifying human and non-human identity data. Session reporting and panels emphasized recurring operational gaps: unclear ownership of non-human identities NHIs , credential lifecycle and rotation, delegation and least-privilege models, and auditability for agent actions. Editorial coverage at the event framed these as urgent engineering and governance problems as agent counts scale rapidly.
