“AI Appreciation Day is a good reminder of how fast we’ve moved past the “should we adopt AI?” phase. Across APJ, the conversation has entirely shifted to execution. The reality on the ground is that no enterprise is going to rely on a single AI platform, model, or cloud vendor. Teams are selecting diverse tools for specific jobs, creating a complex, multi-environment reality. Because of this, obsessing over the “right” AI tool is a distraction. The real challenge is consistent governance.
As Agentic AI becomes deeply embedded in everyday operations, you cannot rely on a legacy grab bag of fragmented tools to secure it. Identity is the control plane.
C-suites and boards are realising that non-human identities—AI agents, APIs, and service accounts—need the exact same visibility, lifecycle management, and strict access controls we’ve spent years building for human users. You need to know exactly what an AI agent can access, what it’s authorised to do, and how to shut it down instantly if needed. The pace of innovation isn’t slowing down. Building a neutral, independent identity foundation today is the only way to give your business the flexibility to adopt tomorrow’s AI safely.”
