The Non-Human & AI Identity Podcast

Non-human identity governance is failing — and the agentic AI wave is about to make it catastrophic. Static credentials are still everywhere. OAuth permissions are ungoverned. Service accounts nobody owns are sitting wide open. And now autonomous AI agents are being deployed into that same environment, with no accountability framework, no revocation policy, and no one asking whether they have the...

Identity security is broken — and AI agents are exposing exactly why. Most organisations still treat identity as an IT control function. That framing is costing them. In the agentic era, non-human identity (NHI) determines whether you can trust every agent action, every automated transaction, and every API call running through your infrastructure. But NHI authentication only solves half the proble...

Assuming NHI risk is under control while AI agents are already in production isn't a security strategy — it's a liability waiting to surface. Alexis Moyse, from Clarity Security, faces 10 rapid-fire questions on whether organisations are taking non-human identity risk seriously enough, whether the identity market consolidation is actually improving security outcomes, and whether traditiona...

Most security teams are still retrofitting human identity frameworks onto AI agents. It won't hold. Agents that spawn sub-agents, inherit domain admin permissions through accidental OAuth consent, and operate non-deterministically aren't just a new identity type — they're a governance collapse waiting to happen, and the misconfiguration that triggers it is probably already in your envi...

AI agents are evolving into powerful enterprise identities — yet most organisations still lack the governance frameworks needed to control them securely. Neil McGlennon, Global Field CTO at SailPoint, responds to 10 rapid-fire questions focused on AI identity governance, non-human identities, and the growing security risks tied to autonomous systems. As AI agents gain access to sensitive environme...

Enterprises are deploying AI agents at machine speed — but governance and identity security aren’t keeping pace. Michael Trites, Senior VP of Global Sales at Aembit, tackles 10 fast-paced questions on the rise of AI-driven identities, the expanding NHI threat landscape, and why organisations are repeating familiar security mistakes as autonomous systems scale. Should AI agents be governed like emp...

AI agents are quickly becoming one of the largest unmanaged attack surfaces in enterprise environments — and most organisations still lack the controls to secure them effectively. Stanislas Crepin, Senior Global Director Sales Engineering at GitGuardian, answers 10 rapid-fire questions on the growing identity and secrets management risks surrounding AI agents and NHIs. From access governance to ac...

AI agents are scaling inside organisations faster than security teams can properly govern them — and attackers are already taking advantage of the gap. David Lee, Field CTO at Saviynt, takes on 10 rapid-fire questions around the identity risks enterprises can no longer ignore. From the growing exposure created by unmanaged NHIs to the debate over whether AI agents should be treated more like emplo...

Treating AI agent identities the same as standard non-human identities isn't just lazy thinking — it may be the most dangerous assumption in security right now. Oded Hareven, Co-Founder and CEO of Akeyless, faces 10 rapid-fire questions on whether the industry is sleepwalking into the same governance failures it made with NHIs, only this time with autonomous agents operating at scale. Are CISO...

Most organisations are deploying AI agents faster than they can govern them — and the identity security gap that creates is already being exploited. Heiko Karl, CEO of Nexis, faces 10 rapid-fire questions on the blind spots organisations can no longer afford to ignore. From whether NHI threats are being systematically underestimated, to whether IAM for AI is now more critical than AI for IAM itsel...

Most organisations are still treating machine identities like a footnote in their security strategy — and AI agents are about to make that a catastrophic mistake. Eleanor Merrit, President of Arcon, faces 10 rapid-fire questions on the blind spots organisations can no longer afford to ignore. From whether NHI threats are being systematically underestimated, to whether IAM for AI is now more critic...

AI Agents Don't Have Identity — They Have Access. That's the Problem. Most security teams are still applying human and machine identity frameworks to AI agents. It won't hold. Agents with memory, tool access, and the ability to spawn sub-agents operate in a fundamentally different threat space — and the credentials sitting in that memory are a live vulnerability right now. In this epis...
