Andre Durand, Ping Identity | RSAC 2026

In this interview from RSAC 2026 in San Francisco, Andre Durand, founder and chief executive officer of Ping Identity, joins theCUBE Research's Christophe Bertrand to discuss why agentic AI is forcing a fundamental rethink of identity security and zero-trust principles. Durand draws on 23 years of building identity infrastructure — now protecting roughly eight billion accounts across the Global 5,000 — to explain why autonomous agents demand even stricter security than human users. Operating around the clock at machine speed, these non-human identities face no personal consequences for damaging actions. He underscores why organizations must authenticate, authorize and maintain full observability over every agent, applying zero-trust guardrails tighter than those historically extended to their human counterparts.

The conversation also explores what Durand calls the "agentic channel" — a new interaction surface alongside web, mobile and voice — where customer-facing agents research products, scan information and engage on behalf of individuals. Drawing on insights from more than 200 enterprise conversations over the past year, he details how large financial institutions and retailers are racing to detect whether an inbound visitor is human or agent and to scope permissions accordingly. Durand also unpacks Ping Identity's newly announced agentic core capability, which extends the platform to manage the full agent lifecycle from discovery and inventory across multiple clouds to real-time runtime authorization that moves beyond static entitlements to just-in-time, context-aware decisioning. From balancing the competitive urgency of automation with the duty to protect brand trust, Durand provides a practical framework for how security leaders can harness agentic AI without sacrificing governance or accountability.
