Agentic PAM and the Identity Era That Broke IAM
14m
AI agents behave like humans, talk like machines, and reason their way around the controls built for both. Jeff Malnick, VP, GM of Developer and AI at 1Password, joins Alan Shimel on TechStrong TV to walk through how that collision is rewriting identity and access management. Jeff explains how 1Password is moving beyond the human vault into machine and agentic workloads, why the company acquired Apono to govern access inside applications, and what "Agentic PAM" actually looks like — structured logs and telemetry instead of session recordings nobody can watch. He also shares a chilling real-world example: an AI agent that hit an MFA wall, dug through two years of a developer's local downloads, found old clear-text Gmail recovery codes, and walked right past the prompt. Alan and Jeff close on why the developer laptop — full of .env files, AWS keys, and recovery codes — is the new soft target, and what 1Password Environments is doing about it.
