Strata Identity, a leader in Identity Orchestration, has appointed Eve Maler to spearhead its Agentic Identity Program. “Eve’s expertise and role in creating the very standards that underpin digital identity make her the perfect voice to help Strata educate organizations on how to manage Agentic AI identity risks,” said Eric Olden, CEO of Strata Identity. Maler’s role will focus on helping enterprises navigate the complexities of Agentic AI, which introduces autonomous machine agents that require new approaches to trust, access, and compliance.
Eve Maler is a pivotal figure in digital identity:
Co-authored foundational standards like SAML, XML, and User-Managed Access (UMA).
Served as CTO at ForgeRock, driving identity innovation.
Advised global enterprises as a Forrester analyst on IAM and API security.
Founded Venn Factory, providing expertise on digital identity and governance.
As Ambassador, Maler will deliver educational content, workshops, and actionable insights for Strata’s Identity Orchestration of AI Agents early access program, helping organizations strengthen resilience and compliance.
“Agentic AI doesn’t just change the tools we use, it changes the very actors in our digital ecosystems,” said Maler. Unlike traditional non-human identities (NHIs), Agentic AI agents are ephemeral, autonomous, and delegated, requiring dynamic identity management. Strata’s Maverics platform addresses these challenges by issuing short-lived credentials, enforcing zero-trust policies, and ensuring auditability across hybrid environments, as noted in their recent AI identity initiatives.
The appointment aligns with the growing need for robust identity frameworks as AI agents are projected to outnumber human users 80:1 by 2027. Maler’s guidance will help enterprises adopt AI responsibly, leveraging Strata’s platform to unify SSO, rationalize IDPs, and ensure compliance.
