Trust, Risk, and Reward: Building the Identity Fabric for Agentic AI in Financial Services
Agentic AI is moving financial services from systems that recommend actions to systems that may execute them. Banks, insurers, and wealth firms can gain efficiency and new customer capabilities, but autonomous activity makes consent, accountability, governance, and operational risk more complex. Developed by Ping Identity and Deloitte, this white paper makes the case for an identity fabric that establishes trust in each agent and its authority. It explores how institutions can govern delegated actions, preserve human oversight, and create traceable evidence while pursuing innovation at scale.
Key Takeaways
