At Enterprise Ready Conf 2025, Tobin South, who leads AI Agents at WorkOS, explains how the rise of AI agents is redefining identity, authentication, and authorization in modern software.
In this forward-looking talk, Tobin explores what it means for enterprises when autonomous agents interact with systems, APIs, and other applications at machine speed — and how identity infrastructure must evolve to stay secure and compliant.
Highlights include:
• Why every AI product needs to rethink its identity and authorization model
• How the Model Context Protocol (MCP) changes how apps connect to AI agents
• Challenges of dynamic client registration and enterprise data control
• How WorkOS is making identity and access “agent-native” — from API keys to audit logs
• What robust agent identity looks like for enterprises using OpenAI, Claude, and other LLM tools
Ideal for AI founders, security engineers, and enterprise developers building agent-based systems that need scalable identity, access, and governance.
