The new AI access problem: Why machine identities now drive trust in banking
In my experience working inside banks, identity security can be like plumbing: when it’s working, no one wants to talk about it. When there’s an incident, an audit, or a regulator—suddenly everyone wants to understand how it works. Artificial intelligence (AI) brings the same “no one cares until everyone does” energy, but with face-melting velocity. Today, AI is embedded across large parts of the financial services industry, and it has been around for more than 25 years.
