Granville Schmidt to join panel of technology founders and experts discussing the future of secure AI adoption

Strata Identity, the Identity Orchestration company, today announced that its Chief Architect, Granville Schmidt, will speak on a panel at the Moonfire Technical Founder Summit, a gathering of leading entrepreneurs and technologists shaping the next wave of innovation.

Granville will share his insights on the key infrastructure challenges emerging in the age of AI, particularly regarding the management of agentic identities at scale. He’ll explore how organizations must evolve their security architectures as AI agents increasingly work alongside humans in critical business environments, with particular focus on identity verification for non-human actors, auditability of autonomous actions, and the expansion of zero-trust principles. Granville will address the practical realities of enforcing least privilege at machine speed and maintaining compliance visibility across dynamic, agent-driven workflows.
