Summary
As AI makes deepfakes and voice cloning more convincing, attackers are shifting away from traditional vulnerabilities and focusing on identity as the easiest path to account takeover and fraud. In this conversation, Eran Haggiag of Glide Identity discusses what it will take to protect identity in an agentic world—how to prove a real user approved an action, how to establish accountability when software acts on someone’s behalf, and why cryptographic, hardware-rooted signals may be the clearest way out of the cat-and-mouse cycle. In our reporter chat, Greg talks with Matt Kapko about what led to the Vercel breach that dominated this week's headlines.
