  Mr NHI Drops a Rap at Identiverse 2026 | Non-Human & Agentic AI Identity Summit

  Aug 18, 20262 min

  Lalit Choda — known across the identity security industry as Mr NHI — closes his opening remarks at the Non-Human & Agentic AI Identity Summit at Identiverse 2026 with a rap about the very thing the summit exists to solve: securing non-human identities and agentic AI before organisations get caught out.It's not what you'd expect at a cybersecurity conference. That's the point.Lalit is the Founder & CEO of the Non-Human Identity Management Group and has spent 25 years running IAM, PAM, and NHI programs at global investment banks. He knows the space better than most — and he also knows that the industry needs to pay attention to NHI in a way it hasn't been.The Non-Human & Agentic AI Identity Summit at Identiverse 2026 brought together over 20 practitioners, CISOs, founders, and researchers to tackle the hardest questions in NHI and agentic AI security.

  Lalit Choda — Founder & CEO of the Non-Human Identity Management Group and the leading NHI voice in the industry, known globally as Mr NHI — opens the Non-Human & Agentic AI Identity Summit at Identiverse 2026 with a session that sets the tone for the entire day.With 25 years of hands-on practitioner experience running global IAM, PAM, and NHI programs at major investment banks, Lalit founded the NHI Management Group in 2024 to educate and evangelise about the risks and challenges of non-human identities — including agentic AI agents. In this opening, he makes the case for why 2026 is a defining year for the space, how dramatically the NHI and agentic AI landscape has already shifted, and what security teams, CISOs, and practitioners need to be thinking about right now.What's covered in this video:- Why the NHI and agentic AI threat landscape has changed faster than most organisations have been able to respond- A full walkthrough of the summit agenda and what each panel session will explore- And yes — Mr NHI closes it out with a rapSummit Panel Sessions:01 — The AI Era: A Dramatic Shift for the NHI Landscape02 — The New NHI Risk Reality: When AI Agents Start Making Decisions03 — Where Traditional IAM Breaks: Rethinking Trust for Autonomous Identities04 — The CISO Imperative: Quantifying NHI & Agentic AI Risk for the Board05 — Secure by Design: Baking Identity Controls into the AI Agent Development Lifecycle06 — Governing AI: Identity Standards & Frameworks for Agentic AI07 — The Buyer's Dilemma: Evaluating the NHI & Agentic AI Security Market08 — The Next 24 Months: Predictions on Where NHI & Agentic AI Security Goes NextThe Non-Human Identity Management Group is the premier authority in NHI education, training, research, and advisory — home to the most comprehensive NHI knowledge center in the world. nhimg.org | nhi-training.org Subscribe for full panel sessions, expert interviews, and the latest in NHI and agentic AI security#NHI #NonHumanIdentity #AgenticAI #Identiverse2026 #Identiverse #IdentitySecurity #MrNHI #LalitChoda #CyberSecurity #IAM #PAM #AIAgents #AIIdentity #AISecurity #NHIManagementGroup #MachineIdentity #ServiceAccounts #SecretsManagement #ZeroTrust #CISO

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

  Aug 12, 20266 minS1

  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

  Aug 6, 20265 minS1

  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

  Jul 30, 202622 min

  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 Moments 0:00 – Humans, agents, and the amplified internal threat 0:48 – Why the internal threat beats the external one 2:39 – Story 1: one misused NHI takes down production 6:57 – Hard-coded, shared and never-cycled credentials 8:24 – Enter agentic AI: the blast radius explodes 9:36 – Story 2: one line of SQL wipes 60% of the data 12:54 – Story 3: an AI agent deletes a database in seconds 15:54 – It always comes back to identity and access 18:24 – Why system prompts are not security controls 19:27 – 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
