Lalit Choda — Founder & CEO of the Non-Human Identity Management Group and known across the industry as Mr NHI — opens the Non-Human & Agentic AI Identity Summit at Identiverse 2026 with a frank assessment of where the NHI and agentic AI landscape stands today, and why the industry can no longer afford to treat non-human identities as a secondary concern.
With 25 years of practitioner experience running IAM, PAM, and NHI programs at global investment banks, and as the author of The Ultimate Guide to Non-Human Identities, Lalit walks through the full summit agenda — eight panel sessions covering everything from how AI agents are reshaping NHI risk, to where traditional IAM breaks down, to what the market looks like over the next 24 months — before introducing the 20+ practitioners, CISOs, and founders joining as speakers throughout the day.
Summit Panel Sessions:
01 — The New NHI Risk Reality: When AI Agents Start Making Decisions
02 — Where Traditional IAM Breaks: Rethinking Trust for Autonomous Identities
03 — The CISO Imperative: Quantifying NHI & Agentic AI Risk for the Board
04 — Secure by Design: Baking Identity Controls into the AI Agent Development Lifecycle
05 — Governing AI: Identity Standards & Frameworks for Agentic AI
06 — The Buyer’s Dilemma: Evaluating the NHI & Agentic AI Security Market
07 — The Next 24 Months: Predictions on Where NHI & Agentic AI Security Goes Next
He then closes his opening remarks in the only way Mr NHI would: with a rap.
