Anatomy of an AI Breach: A Real-life Look at Agentic Access Control Failure

As enterprises deploy Agentic AI to automate critical business decisions, a dangerous compliance gap is emerging: a critical visibility gap in their auditability. AI agents perform complex, multi-step actions—querying data, calling tools, and generating responses—making it nearly impossible for traditional audit logs to provide a verifiable record of the data, tools, and services involved in each automated decision. This lack of traceability is a primary barrier to responsible AI adoption and a significant risk for the business.

This session explores why current access controls create these visibility gaps and how shifting to a proactive, policy-based approach closes them. We will demonstrate how a dynamic authorization framework, grounded in Zero-Trust principles, creates an immutable, real-time audit trail for every decision across the full AI workflow.

Join us to learn how to build trustworthy, transparent, and fully auditable AI systems that satisfy regulators and accelerate business innovation.

Key Takeaways:
- Understand why traditional audit logs fail to provide a complete, context-aware trail for complex AI actions.
- Learn how to map dynamic, fine-grained authorization policies to each stage of the AI flow—from prompt to data retrieval, tool usage, and response.
- Discover the critical role of Identity-First security in tying every automated action back to a verifiable human or machine identity.
- Gain a practical blueprint for creating a real-time, compliant audit trail for regulatory and internal governance.
- Learn how to answer the toughest questions from auditors regarding your AI systems' behavior and data access.

Protecting Data in Snowflake Doesn't Have to Be Unique as a Snowflake

Traditionally, authorization has been handled within individual, homegrown applications, an approach that lacks scalability and security. Siloed controls and disparate rules create challenges in enforcing consistent authorization, complicating data security and 
compliance as data usage expands. 

Learn how PlainID solves these issues by centralizing authorization through the PlainID Authorization Platform and PlainID Authorizers for SQLl statements and JSON objects. PlainID’s Mickey Martin, VP of Engineering, along with Vladi Berger, VP of Solutions Engineering, will walk us through how our approach enforces tailored controls on data objects, whether they be rows and columns or objects and keys. Moving across microservices, APIs, and end applications data takes many forms and requires multiple ways to ensure consistent security of your digital assets. 

Key Highlights:
- Central Policy Management - Manage Policies that connect user identities to the digital assets they require access for that can be enforced by prefiltering, changing of SQL statements in application or microservice memory, and post filtering, redaction and of objects and keys in REST responses.

- Coarse and Fine-Grained Authorization - Enforce fine-grained controls at a granular level by determining what objects/rows are exposed to a user and how those columns and keys should be viewed, such as applying masking.

- Low/No-Code Integration - Easy to call Microservice that returns a fully authorized JSON object or a fully authorized sql statement depending on your integration needs. Both can be paired with other technologies to provide no-code solutions to your data access problems. 

- Consistent Data Control - Employs REST APIs to extend robust access control consistently across data, applications, and microservices.

Identity Aware Security for Data: SQL and JSON | Pre and Post Data Masking & Filtering for Data Access Control

Join Mickey Martin, VP of Sales Engineering, and Nick Hunt, Founder, Chief Identity Officer, HATSec, as they discuss what it means to adopt Policy Based Access Control, and how this changes how identity teams attest compliance to audit. In the world of Identity Audits, we are used to looking at reports of which users are granted membership into roles, groups, and entitlements and making assumptions about access based on company knowledge. Centralized Management of authorization policies takes out the guesswork of how authorization is decided based on identities controlled in IGA and context of access being requested.

Talking Points & Key Takeaways:
- What does it mean to Centralize Authorization in your ecosystem?
- How does Dynamic Authorization reduce risk and minimize exposure due to standing privilege?
- How does this affect periodic attestations and compliance to support identity audits?
- Discuss the importance of looking at both sides of the Identity-Centric Security Coin - Identity attributes, roles, groups, entitlements and how Authorizations allows or denies user actions based on these identities.
- How do we design an Identity program that tightens security vs checks the boxes? We tend to build systems that answer to the audit vs. answer to attack.
