    Join Saviynt for an Exclusive VIP Roundtable Lunch

    Uncover the next frontier of identity governance: the rise of non-human identities.

    On 12th February 2026, join a select group of CISOs and identity leaders for a confidential, Chatham House–style discussion hosted by Saviynt, the leader in converged identity governance and cloud security.

    Over an intimate lunch, we’ll examine how bots, service accounts, and machine identities have quietly become the largest and least governed user group within organisations. Expect open dialogue, shared lessons, and new ideas on how identity programs can evolve to secure this hidden workforce.

    A rare opportunity to connect, exchange insights, and help shape the next chapter of modern identity.

    Agenda:

    1:15 PM — Opening Remarks
    Welcome from the hosts and context for today’s discussion. We set expectations under Chatham House rules, inviting open and candid peer exchange.

    1:25 PM — The Rise of Non-Human Identities
    A thought-provoking look at how bots, service accounts, and machine identities have quietly outnumbered humans in our environments. We explore whether traditional IAM models are still relevant to governing them and what this means for the future of identity programs.

    1:40 PM — Peer Perspectives: Risks & Blind Spots
    Leaders share lived challenges around visibility, ownership, and auditability of non-human access. This is a space to surface the “unknown unknowns” that rarely make it into formal risk reports.

    2:00 PM — Tackling the Unseen: Governance & Control Models
    Discussion on how organisations are beginning to classify, govern, and monitor machine identities through identity programs. We examine emerging approaches from lifecycle frameworks to behavioural controls and where responsibility should sit.

    2:20 PM — Lunch & Informal Dialogue
    A chance to dive deeper in smaller conversations and exchange hard-earned lessons. This is where new connections form and private insights are shared without attribution.

    2:50 PM — Closing Insights & Collective Takeaways
    We reflect on the key themes uncovered and the questions that deserve continued collaboration. Participants leave with practical prompts to take back into their own programs and boards.
