    NHI & AI Identity Summit : The CISO Imperative

    The CISO Imperative: Quantifying NHI & Agentic AI Risk for the Board | NHI & AI Identity Summit | IDV 2026Non-Human Identity (NHI) and agentic AI are creating a new identity and cybersecurity risk landscape — but how do CISOs explain that risk to the board, quantify the exposure, and secure the investment needed to act?In this session from the NHI & AI Identity Summit at Identiverse 2026 (IDV 2026), experienced security leaders explore how organizations can translate NHI and agentic AI risk into board-level business conversations around risk, accountability, investment and governance.The discussion covers how CISOs can quantify NHI risk, communicate with boards and executives, build an identity strategy for agentic AI, establish governance and accountability, and move from simply discussing the problem to taking practical action.Speakers:Ross Sherman — Sr. Director Agentic AI, SailPointRenee Guttmann — Founder, CISOHiveTroy Wilkinson — Founder, Kyber TechnologyWhat You’ll Learn:• How to explain NHI and agentic AI risk to the board• How to quantify identity risk and translate it into business impact• Why visibility into AI agents and Non-Human Identities is becoming critical• How CISOs can build the business case for investment• Why organizations need to act before agentic AI becomes deeply embedded• How identity teams can establish governance, accountability and guardrails• Why discovery and inventory of AI agents and NHIs are now essential• How to build an identity control plane for an increasingly autonomous environment• Who should own AI governance across the organizationChapters:00:00–01:45 — The CISO Imperative01:45–04:10 — Meet the Panel04:10–07:40 — Why NHI & Agentic AI Risk Is Hard to Explain07:40–10:47 — Quantifying NHI Risk for the Board10:47–14:07 — Making the Business Case for AI Identity Security14:07–18:41 — Why Waiting Costs More Than Acting18:41–21:45 — Getting Identity Teams Started21:45–25:55 — Building the Identity Foundation25:55–28:12 — Who Owns AI?28:12–30:40 — AI Governance as a Shared Responsibility30:40–31:13 — Stop Admiring the ProblemThe NHI & AI Identity Summit at IDV 2026 brings together identity, IAM, cybersecurity and AI security leaders to examine how Non-Human Identities and agentic AI are reshaping enterprise security.If you work in IAM, identity security, identity governance, NHI management, machine identity, AI security, cybersecurity, risk management or CISO leadership, this session provides a practical perspective on preparing the board and the organization for the next phase of identity risk.Subscribe for more sessions from the NHI & AI Identity Summit at IDV 2026.#NHI #NonHumanIdentity #AgenticAI #AIIdentity #IdentitySecurity #IAM #Cybersecurity #AIsecurity #IDV2026 #Identiverse2026

    NHI & AI Identity Summit : Where Traditional IAM Breaks

    Where Traditional IAM Breaks: Rethinking Trust for Autonomous Identities | NHI & AI Identity Summit | IDV 2026Traditional IAM was built around identities that could be defined, governed and reviewed. But what happens when AI agents become autonomous, unpredictable and capable of acting at machine speed?In this session from the NHI & AI Identity Summit at Identiverse 2026 (IDV 2026), identity and cybersecurity leaders explore where traditional Identity and Access Management (IAM) breaks down and how organizations need to rethink trust, access governance and identity security for autonomous AI agents.The panel explores the shift from static access and periodic reviews toward intent-driven access, dynamic governance, continuous authorization, least privilege, Zero Trust and identity posture management.Speakers:Elisa Abedrapo — Identity Services SM, EpsilonHomayun Yaqub — Advisory Services, Digital HandsItamar Apelblat — Co-Founder & CEO, Token SecurityAlexis Moyse — Co-Founder & CEO, Clarity SecurityWhat You’ll Learn:• Why traditional IAM struggles with autonomous AI agents• How AI agents create a fundamentally different identity class• Why access governance needs to move from permissions to intent• How dynamic governance and continuous authorization could reshape IAM• Whether least privilege, Zero Trust and just-in-time access still work at machine speed• Why identity posture, context and exposure are becoming critical• How organizations can prepare for autonomous and agentic AIChapters:00:00–01:53 — Where Traditional IAM Breaks01:53–03:12 — Meet the Panel03:12–05:34 — Why Traditional IAM Has Never Really Kept Up05:34–06:59 — AI Agents as a New Identity Class06:59–08:13 — From Access Governance to Intent08:13–10:15 — Intent-Driven Access & Dynamic Governance10:15–11:42 — The End of Periodic Access Reviews?11:42–14:25 — Least Privilege, JIT & Zero Standing Privilege14:25–15:55 — Making Identity Governance Dynamic15:55–18:52 — What Is the New Unit of Trust?18:52–20:19 — Protecting What AI Does20:19–23:38 — Is IAM Failing or Is Trust Changing?23:38–25:17 — Rethinking Static IAM for the AI Age25:17–27:42 — The Future of Identity Posture & Exposure27:42–28:50 — Practical Steps for AI Agent Security28:50–30:19 — Closing Thoughts: The New NHI RealityThe NHI & AI Identity Summit at IDV 2026 brings together identity, IAM, cybersecurity and AI security leaders to explore how Non-Human Identities and agentic AI are changing enterprise identity and security.If you're working in IAM, identity security, identity governance, NHI management, machine identity, AI security, Zero Trust or cybersecurity, this session offers an important look at how trust and access need to evolve for autonomous systems.Subscribe for more sessions from the NHI & AI Identity Summit at IDV 2026.#NHI #NonHumanIdentity #AgenticAI #IdentitySecurity #IAM

    Diana Jovin is Mr NHI's Human Identity In The Hot Seat

    As autonomous agents flood enterprise environments, most security teams are being caught off guard — and Diana Jovin, CMO of Teleport, wants to change the question security leaders are even asking. Recorded live at Black Hat, Diana takes on 10 rapid-fire questions on the identity and access challenges that agentic AI is forcing onto security teams. Rather than treat this as an IAM problem, she reframes it as an infrastructure one: a single identity layer where agents, humans, machines, and workloads can all interact securely. Are CISOs ready for a fleet of autonomous agents? Do AI agents behave like employees, like software, or like something else entirely? And will static, long-lived credentials survive the next five years? Diana's answers push back on the framing as often as they answer it — and she's clear about what has to disappear from your environment first. 🔑 Key Takeaways: Agent security is an infrastructure question, not an IAM one — the aim is a unified layer where agents, humans, machines, and workloads interact securely AI agents are neither employees nor software — they act fast and autonomously, so controls must map to how they actually behave, not to old categories Static credentials and standing privileges have to go — agents can discover and exploit them, so a zero-trust foundation comes first Background checks don't disappear, they get inherited — every agent needs a delegated, cryptographically-backed identity with attestation back to its origin NHI is a subset, not a synonym — vocabulary matters, and "non-human identity" means different things to different people #CyberSecurity #Teleport #NonHumanIdentity #AgenticAI #IdentitySecurity #IAM #ZeroTrust #NHI #AIAgents #MachineIdentity

    Howard Ting is Mr NHI's Human Identity In The Hot Seat

    As autonomous agents flood enterprise environments, most security teams are being caught off guard — and Howard Ting, CEO of Opal Security, is not mincing words about it.Recorded live at Black Hat, Howard takes on 10 rapid-fire questions on the identity and access management challenges that agentic AI is forcing onto security leaders. From the death of static credentials to the convergence of PAM and IGA, this conversation cuts straight to what organisations need to rethink — fast.Are CISOs truly ready for a fleet of autonomous agents? Should AI agents behave under the same trust frameworks as humans? And will long-lived credentials survive the next five years?Howard's answers are direct, confident, and in some cases — definitive.🔑 Key Takeaways:IAM for AI and AI for IAM are inseparable — you cannot have one without the otherStatic, long-lived credentials have no place in an agentic world — least privilege at the task level is the only acceptable standardPAM and IGA are converging, and organisations still treating them as separate categories are already behindAI agents are ephemeral by nature — traditional trust and background check models simply don't apply#CyberSecurity #OpalSecurity #NonHumanIdentity #AgenticAI #IdentitySecurity #IAM #PAM #ZeroTrust #NHI #AIAgents

    Human & Now Agents: The NHI Internal Threat Amplified

    Non-human identity security has become one of the most urgent challenges in modern cybersecurity — and with the rise of agentic AI, the risk is only growing. In this Identiverse 2026 keynote, Lalit Choda — founder of the Non-Human Identity Management Group (NHIMG) — explains why non-human identities (NHIs) and autonomous AI agents have become the most dangerous insider threat in cybersecurity today. Drawing on 30 years running IAM, PAM and NHI programmes in global banking, Lalit shares three real incidents where the intent was harmless, but the damage was huge: 🔹 One misused database credential that spiralled into a 100,000-credential clean-up🔹 An AI coding assistant that wiped 60% of his data from a single line of SQL🔹 An AI agent that deleted an entire company's database — and its backups — in seconds His message is blunt: as agentic AI spreads, agents reach systems you never intended and inherit the full blast radius of whatever credential they run under. System prompts were never security controls. Traditional insider threat models are now obsolete — and every agent is a non-human identity that must be governed, monitored and audited. If you work in identity security, IAM or agentic AI, this one's essential viewing. ⏱️ Key Moments0:00 – Humans, agents, and the amplified internal threat0:48 – Why the internal threat beats the external one2:39 – Story 1: one misused NHI takes down production6:57 – Hard-coded, shared and never-cycled credentials8:24 – Enter agentic AI: the blast radius explodes9:36 – Story 2: one line of SQL wipes 60% of the data12:54 – Story 3: an AI agent deletes a database in seconds15:54 – It always comes back to identity and access18:24 – Why system prompts are not security controls19:27 – Closing: insider threat models are obsolete — code red 🔗 Learn more🌐 Website: https://nhimg.org/🎓 NHI Foundation Training: https://training.nhimg.org/👤 Lalit Choda on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lalit-choda-5b924120/🏢 NHIMG on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/non-human-identity-management-group/ 👉 Subscribe for weekly breakdowns on non-human identity, agentic AI security and identity management — and tell us what to cover next in the comments. #NonHumanIdentity #NHI #AgenticAI #IdentitySecurity #Identiverse2026 #IAM #Cybersecurity #AIAgents #InsiderThreat #ZeroTrust
