Identity for the Agentic AI Era
18m
Identity used to stop at login. In the agentic AI era, it can't. Peter Barker, Chief Product Officer at Ping Identity, joins Alan Shimel on TechStrong TV to break down what changes when every employee is suddenly running dozens or hundreds of agents — some long-lived, some ephemeral, many over-permissioned. Drawing on more than 20 years in identity, security, and mobile, and 8+ years leading product at Ping, Peter explains how the company is securing more than 8 billion accounts globally and why the trust control plane must now converge humans and agents under one governance model. He and Alan dig into Identity for AI, Ping's end-to-end solution covering discovery, lifecycle, entitlements, certification, and runtime authentication and authorization of agents — plus Ping's new AI-first headless platform that delivers Markdown-native docs, IDE plugins, CLIs, MCP servers, and pre-built skill files that cut agent token usage by 91% and operations by 70%.
