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 9, we’re joined by Jeff Reich, IDSA Executive Director to uncover one of the biggest challenges in cybersecurity today: Where are the Non-Human Identity (NHI) blind spots that organizations are still missing in the age of Agentic AI?
This episode goes beyond surface-level discussions and dives into where things are actually breaking in the real world, from hidden NHI blind spots and lack of ownership, to the trade-offs organizations are making between speed, scale, and security. It explores how rapid AI adoption is exposing gaps in visibility, governance, and control, and why many existing IAM and PAM models are struggling to keep up with autonomous, non-deterministic identities.
Together, they explored:
- What are the major NHI blind spots within organisations?
- How are practitioners struggling to deal with NHI challenges and blind spots?
- What are the big security amplifications and challenges that AI Agents bring?
- What are you hearing from the practitioners about the Agentic AI maturity?
