Webinar: Agent Identity as the backbone for secure AI innovation
An AI agent with a stolen API key looks identical to a legitimate one. As autonomous agents scale across enterprise systems, static credentials and legacy IAM policies can no longer keep up with machine-speed execution. Join Shaun Liu, Product Manager at Google Cloud, on August 27 at 1 PM ET to explore Google Cloud’s vision for unifying agent, human, and nonhuman identity into a workload-centric platform using verifiable cryptographic identities (SPIFFE, ID-JAG, OAuth).

Why it matters
After a few years, nearly every organisation that migrated discovers the same thing: the bill grows faster than the business. Not because the cloud is expensive, but because nobody switches off what is no longer used and nobody has the incentive to check.
My reading goes through who sees the bill. In organisations where cloud cost reaches the team that generates it, spend organises itself. Where only finance sees the bill, spend grows and the discussion becomes a blind cut every year end.
What usually goes wrong
Where it usually breaks is team capability. The platform is new but people learned on the fly, with no time and no support. They end up replicating data-centre practices in the cloud, which means paying cloud prices for benefits that never arrive.
What to watch
- Where the data physically sits and what local regulation demands about that.
- What happens when the provider has an outage, because it will, and what keeps running meanwhile.
- Three-year total cost with real growth, not the first-year promotion.
How I read this entry
If this fed into an infrastructure decision, I would ask for the three-year total cost with real growth built in, not year one with the entry discount. Most cloud surprises live in year two, when the discount ends and the volume has already gone up.
