The Power of Platformization on Security Posture

Every breach starts somewhere. More often than not, it starts with identity.In this episode of Securing Tomorrow, leaders from Palo Alto Networks and IBM Consulting explore why identity has become the central control plane for modern enterprise security. From the explosion of non-human identities like APIs and AI agents, to the challenge of managing access across cloud, network, and infrastructure, the complexity is growing faster than most security teams can handle.You'll hear how a platform-led approach, anchored by technologies like Idira, the next-generation identity security platform, built on CyberArk's legacy and powered by Palo Alto Networks and IBM. Explore how this can bring real cohesion to identity security - and why getting this right is now fundamental to safe AI adoption and digital transformation.If you're dealing with identity sprawl, securing machine identities, or simplifying a fragmented security stack, this one's for you.Speakers:Moderator: Dan Nutburn, Senior GSI Channel Business Manager, Palo Alto NetworksAmit Agarwal, Global CTO – Identity & Access Management, IBM Consulting Hosted on Acast.

In this special episode, we explore how organisations can innovate confidently with AI while keeping security, governance and trust at the centre.As AI evolves from traditional models to fully agentic systems, the attack surface is expanding quickly - faster than legacy security tools can respond. Our experts unpack what secure by design really means, why governance failures create the biggest risks, and how security must evolve into a proactive business enabler that helps AI scale safely.We break down how to defend against the newest wave of AI-driven threats, including polymorphic attacks, LLM prompt injection, model poisoning and real-time data leakage. You’ll hear how Palo Alto Networks Prisma AIRS and Cortex XSIAM, combined with IBM’s Autonomous Threat Operations Machine (ATOM), deliver autonomous cyber defence at machine speed.You’ll learn how to:Move from AI experiments to real, safe, scalable enterprise adoptionDesign agentic AI that behaves predictably and responsiblyGive your organisation the governance muscles it needs for the AI eraMake every AI action traceable, auditable and accountableCut complexity with platform-led AI security that works togetherAdopt AI at speed without falling behind on regulation and trustHosted by: Dan Nutburn, Palo Alto NetworksWith guests: Ben Brothwell, IBM Consulting; Dinesh Nagarajan, IBM Consulting; Jay Allen, Palo Alto Networks; Jonathan Magee, Palo Alto Networks Hosted on Acast.
