The Non-Human & AI Identity Podcast
- By Humans for Humans, No AI Generated Content.
- Mr. NHI hosts the voices shaping the future of Non-Human & Agentic AI Identity.
Hosted by Mr. NHI, the podcast brings together the voices actively shaping the future of Non-Human Identity (NHI) and Agentic AI Identity, from founders and practitioners to security leaders dealing with these challenges in the real world.
In Episode 6, Mr. NHI is joined by Itamar Apelblat, CEO of Token Security, to explore Token Security’s AI Identity Security Predictions for 2026, and what they reveal about where identity, security, and AI are heading.
As AI agents rapidly evolve from tools into autonomous actors, they are beginning to expose fundamental cracks in how enterprises have historically approached identity and access management. Traditional IAM models were never designed for entities that can reason, act independently, and operate at machine speed.
This episode dives into why AI agents don’t just extend identity systems, they disrupt them.
Together, they explore key predictions and emerging risks, including:
- Why do AI agents fundamentally break the way enterprises have thought about identity and security up to now?
- Will AI coding agents become a major source of identity misconfigurations?
- Do we need to move to dynamic authorisation due to the autonomous nature of AI agents?
- How to track the agents’ activity when they have nondeterministic behavior?
