Episode 3 of the Webmethod Security Series examines how AI-driven cyber threats are reshaping the foundations of enterprise security. In this episode, Wade Ellery of Radiant Logic joins Robert McKay from Webmethod to discuss how identity, authentication, and access governance must evolve to keep pace with an increasingly complex threat landscape. The conversation highlights the rising influence of AI on attacker behaviour, the persistent failures in authentication, and the risks created by excessive or mismanaged access privileges. Together, they outline why identity-centric security has become essential for organisational resilience, operational continuity, and long-term trust. This episode delivers practical guidance for leaders responsible for cybersecurity strategy, identity management, risk governance, and digital transformation initiatives. Key Discussion Points • The rapid acceleration of AI-enhanced cyber attacks • Why authentication continues to be a leading breach vector • The limitations of traditional perimeter-based security approaches • Identity as the strategic anchor for modern security programs • The operational risks created by over-permissioned access • Priority actions for IAM and security leaders heading into 2025
