Shashwat Sehgal, CEO of P0 Security, joins Mr. NHI at the Non-Human & AI Identity podcast, where he is put in the hot seat as Mr. NHI fires 10 machine speed questions on identity management and security, including Non-Human Identities (NHIs) and the intersection with Agentic AI Agents.

Listen to how Shashwat responded to the questions below:

Will static long-lived credentials and secrets still exist in five years?

Shashwat discusses whether traditional authentication models can survive in a world increasingly dominated by autonomous systems and machine identities.

Are enterprises finally making NHI risk management a top priority?

The conversation explores whether organisations are truly prioritising Non-Human Identity governance — or if awareness is still lagging behind reality.

Does Agentic AI security equal NHI security?

Shashwat examines where these two domains intersect and why assuming they are identical can lead to blind spots in security strategy.

Are organisations putting time-to-market ahead of security controls for AI agents?

As AI adoption accelerates, Shashwat highlights the tension between innovation speed and the maturity of identity and access controls.

Are CISOs ready for fleets of autonomous digital employees?

Managing large numbers of AI agents introduces new identity challenges that many security programs are still learning to address.

Can Zero Standing Privilege work for NHIs and AI agents?

Shashwat explains whether just-in-time access and ephemeral privileges can realistically scale to machine identities and autonomous systems.

Is the recent market activity involving identity vendors a good thing for the industry?

A perspective on whether acquisitions and investment are accelerating innovation or simply reshaping the competitive landscape.

Will regulators move fast enough to keep up with Agentic AI?

Shashwat discusses the growing gap between technological advancement and the pace of governance and regulation.

Are we repeating the past mistakes of managing NHIs with AI agents?

The conversation reflects on whether organisations are carrying forward the same identity management problems into the next generation of AI systems.

Does PAM change dramatically with the introduction of Agentic AI agents?

Shashwat explores how privileged access management may evolve as AI agents begin to operate with elevated permissions and autonomy.
