WBNR-2026-04-EMA FinServ-Hero Final

Hello Alex Reed,

As AI moves from experimental bots to autonomous agents, it’s hitting a wall: Legacy IAM.

New global research from Enterprise Management Associates (EMA) reveals a massive disconnect between AI innovation and identity security. While this "Identity Crisis" is most visible in the high-stakes financial sector, the data shows an architectural shortfall that affects every scaling organization:

The Policy Gap: 79% of organizations with deployed AI agents have no formal security policies for controlling them.

The Scalability Gap: Over 59% of respondents report their current IAM systems are NOT ready for the scale and resilience AI agents require.

The SaaS Paradox: Teams want the speed of all-in-one platforms, but require the deep customization that legacy "black box" vendors can't provide.

Join Ken Buckler (Research Director, EMA) and Damon Tepe (Head of Product Marketing, Ory) on Tuesday, May 19 as they unpack this global data.

We’ll be discussing how to move past legacy IAM bottlenecks to build a secure, resilient, and compliant identity stack for the AI era.
