Ev Konstevoy CEO of Teleport 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 Ev responded to the questions below:
Is IAM for AI more important than AI for IAM?
Ev explores why identity isn’t just a support function — it’s the control plane for AI systems, and getting this wrong can create catastrophic risk.
Are organisations taking NHI risks seriously enough?
Most breaches start with what no one is inventorying. Ev highlights the blind spots in Non-Human Identity governance.
Are you a fan of vibe coding?
Speed, creativity, and innovation are exciting — but Ev explains how “vibe coding” often accumulates security debt behind the scenes.
Does Agentic AI security equal NHI security?
Where the two overlap is real, but dangerous assumptions emerge if organisations treat them as identical.
Are organisations putting time-to-market ahead of security controls for AI agents?
Ev warns that “we’ll fix it later” is a mindset that rarely works once AI agents gain autonomy.
Do we expect to see more breaches with AI?
As AI agents gain access and autonomy, the breach landscape is shifting. Ev predicts higher exposure if controls lag behind deployment.
Can Agentic AI ever be predictable?
Ev breaks down why autonomy creates unpredictability, and what “control” truly means in this context.
Is the recent market activity involving identity vendors a good thing for the industry?
Ev evaluates whether the flurry of acquisitions and funding signals real innovation or just hype.
Will the AI agent digital workforce lead to mass unemployment?
Separating fear from structural change, Ev weighs the economic and organizational impacts of agentic AI adoption.
Should Agentic AI and NHIs be treated as separate categories?
Ev explains why forcing clean lines can create blind spots in risk management and security design.
