Visit nhimg.org to learn more Lalit Choda, founder & CEO, joins Neha Duggal from P0 Security as they unpack why traditional IAM and PAM fail for agentic systems and what modern access policies must look like to keep agents productive, contained and auditable.As teams deploy agentic workflows with AWS Bedrock, Google Vertex and custom LLMs, autonomous agents are interacting directly with cloud infrastructure and data, often with standing permissions no human would ever get. This creates a fast-growing governance gap.

Karen Crowley Andromeda Security hosts Lalit Choda (#MrNHI) Founder of the NHI Mgmt Group and Andromeda's Chief Product Officer, Ashish Shah for this top-level discussion that will unpack the most pressing issues organizations face today with Non-Human Identities (NHI) and AgenticAI and how they’re becoming the new frontline in cybersecurity defence.The session covers the latest research, real-world challenges, and breaches tied to unmanaged NHIs and the future with AgenticAI :– Why securing NHI is now mission-critical for enterprise resilience– The growing interplay between human users and NHIs — and what that means for access governance– Best practices for managing NHI at scale– A look at Agentic AI: how to secure it, and why it changes the game

Our NHI Mgmt Group (https://nhimg.org) hosts the NHI Global Summit at the Nasdaq Building, Times Square on February 27th 2025.Mario Duarte (Chief Information Security Officer, Aembit & Former CISO of Snowflake) gave fascinating insights, having previously been CISO at Snowflake.60% of CISOs in publicly traded companies state that IAM is a function owned by their team65% of CISOs in privately held companies state that IAM is a function owned by their teamHuman errors are the cause of the majority of major security breaches in the past 20 years – from weak passwords and poor credential management, phishing attacks, misconfigured system and security settings, unpatched software, unauthorised software and shadow ITHuman IAM solutions like MFA FIDO2, Zero Trust etc have created more secure access and made users lives better and more productiveSame goals required for Non-Human Identities – find solutions that improve the overall security posture; help everyone become more productiveWhat were the root causes from a huge breach : found issues/anomalies with software accessing the most sensitive systems (and there were a lot of them); monitoring and alerting wasn’t good enough; Devs were left with a terrible experience managing secretsBy deploying Non-Human IAM you will achieve : proactive practices with automation; better developer experience, multiplier effect when integrating NHI IAM with existing security toolsFor more great content on Non-Human Identities, go to our portal https://nhimg.org/, where we have the most comprehensive knowledge centre on Non-Human / Machine Identities, including Research, White Papers, Breaches, Discussion Forum, Blogs and Products that support the risk management of NHIs.
