That's a wrap on Aviation ISAC's Cybersecurity Summit ✈️ Our VP of Product Marketing, Nupur Goyal, took to the main stage alongside United Airlines to talk through and share perspectives from an industry where security, resilience, and trust are critical.

Traditional workloads fail in predictable ways. A broken API call throws an error. A bad input gets rejected by a schema check. But an AI agent? Because they're non-deterministic, when something goes wrong, an agent won't necessarily stop or error out. It may keep going, taking plausible-sounding but harmful actions because nothing forced it to stop safely. This week on Identity Unlocked, Mahmoud Matouk, Distinguished Software Engineer here at Saviynt, launches a five-part series on defense in depth for AI agents, starting with the five layers that make up this architecture ⬇️📰

David Mahdi wasn't only involved in the development of the machine identity market; he actually helped to define it. Now, as our new VP of Strategy & Field CISO, we sat down with him to hear how that experience is influencing Saviynt's strategy in the agentic AI era. Here's what he had to say ⬇️ 🗣️ "I'm proud to welcome David. He's the leader Saviynt needs to take on the challenges our clients face and help design our solutions strategy for the AI era." Henrique Bernardes B Teixeira For the full interview, head to the comments 💬

An agentic architecture has three distinct gateway types, each covering a different attack surface. Most enterprises stop at gateway two. So why isn't two out of three enough? We break it down in our latest ➡️ https://okt.to/QHc3iA

AI is now the fastest-growing source of ungoverned identity and data exposure. In most industries, that would be a compliance headache. In aviation, ungoverned AI access isn’t just a governance gap; it’s a flight safety risk. That’s exactly what we’re tackling at Aviation ISAC's Aviation Cybersecurity Summit, from September 29 to October 2. You can also catch our VP of Product, Nupur Goyal, on the main stage alongside Todd Trncak, Director of Cybersecurity at American Airlines, and Hank Wynsma, Managing Director at United Airlines ➡️ https://okt.to/u2tqrU

🗣️ "We already have a gateway for AI" is something we hear all the time. But when we ask security leaders what their gateway actually does, we get different answers every time. This week on Identity Unlocked, Greg Liewer, Product Marketing Director here at Saviynt, explains why an AI agent can clear every check you've put in place and still take an action it was never entitled to take. Get into it below ⬇️ 

That’s a wrap on our first week at the Unlock Roadshow! We’re packing up and heading to Chicago 🇺🇲 & Stockholm 🇸🇪. See you there ➡️ https://okt.to/pTlLdt
