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

Webinar - Top Use Cases & Trends in Machine & Workload Identity with :• Lalit Choda, Founder & CEO - ‪@NonHumanIdentityManagement‬ • Diana Jovin, CMO - ‪@goteleport‬ • Noah Stride, Senior Team Lead - ‪@goteleport‬ As infrastructure becomes increasingly automated, the systems that deploy, manage, and scale it—CI/CD pipelines, service agents, orchestration tools—rely on a growing class of non-human identities (NHIs). These machine actors often operate with persistent credentials, excessive privileges, and limited visibility—leaving critical trust gaps in modern environments.This session explores three high-impact use cases where addressing NHI is both urgent and achievable:• CI/CD Pipeline Security: CI/CD platforms frequently use static secrets and over-permissioned service accounts to deploy infrastructure. We’ll walk through how to apply strong identity controls—short-lived credentials, just-in-time access, and session-level auditing—to harden these systems without slowing down delivery.• Infrastructure-as-Code Workflows: Provisioning and orchestration tools often authenticate with long-lived credentials and execute plans with sweeping access. Learn how to introduce scoped, ephemeral identities into your automation flows—without disrupting developer velocity.• Federated Workload Identity: Multi-cloud and hybrid services need to authenticate and authorize without relying on shared secrets or brittle one-off integrations. This talk will outline patterns for issuing verifiable, short-lived credentials across environments, enabling secure service-to-service trust without sacrificing velocity.These use cases establish a clear model for managing non-human identity risk—one rooted in Zero Trust, built for automation, and grounded in real-world implementation.For 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.

Non-Human Identities are a hot topic in 2025, and Agentic AI is exploding across tech, quickly impacting cybersecurity.It’s critical for security teams to understand how NHIs and AI agents impact each other, because more agents from increasing adoption rates means larger attack surfaces…ultimately making cybersecurity responsibilities more challenging.This webinar will give you:A walkthrough of AI agents and their impact on NHIsA practical look at how AI adoption is driving NHI growth and complexityA personal testimony from a security leader impacted by attack surface growthA plan of action to control the chaos that can follow AI Agents and NHIs and more!Speakers include:Lalit Choda - CEO & Co-Founder @ NHI Management GroupItzik Alvas - CEO & Co-Founder ‪@Entrosecurity‬ Josh Vanhoose - Staff Security Engineer ‪@Elastic‬ For 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.

These include :● NHI1:2025 – Improper Offboarding● NHI2:2025 – Secret Leakage● NHI3:2025 – Vulnerable Third-Party NHIs● NHI4:2025 – Insecure Authentication● NHI5:2025 – Overprivileged NHIs● NHI6:2025 – Insecure Cloud Deployment Configurations● NHI7:2025 – Long-Lived Secrets● NHI8:2025 – Environment Isolation● NHI9:2025 – NHI Reuse● NHI10:2025 – Human Use of NHIsFor 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.

In this conversation, Confidence Staveley (Award Winning CyberSecurity Voice) and I Lalit Choda (Mr. NHI), discuss the critical importance of understanding and managing Non-Human Identities (NHIs) in today's digital landscape. I explain the challenges organizations face in controlling NHIs, the risks associated with them, and how the rise of AI is exacerbating these issues. We emphasize the need for better management practices and awareness of the potential threats posed by NHIs, particularly in light of recent breaches and the phenomenon of secret sprawl. He outlines strategies for organizations to enhance their security posture, emphasizing the need for dynamic secrets and zero trust principles. The discussion also covers the risks associated with compromised NHIs, the necessity for updated global regulations, and the challenges of monitoring NHIs effectively. We highlight the emerging innovations in NHI security and the technical roadblocks that organizations face, particularly with static secrets. Finally I conclude with insights into future risks, including the impact of quantum computing on encryption standards and the importance of simplicity in security solutions.For 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.

In this webinar we dive deep into one of the most urgent cybersecurity challenges today: non-human identities (NHIs). As automation, AI, and cloud services expand, NHIs — like API keys, service accounts, and machine credentials — are growing at an alarming rate. Yet, many organizations fail to track, secure, or even acknowledge their existence, despite their potential impact on identity security. Two identity security leaders, Lalit Choda, Founder of the NHI Management Group, and Art Poghosyan, CEO and Co-Founder of Britive, share their insight and expertise on: ✅ The explosion of NHIs & why they’ve grown to outnumber human identities in the cloud ✅ How NHIs are exploited in breaches, drawing from big examples ✅ Why static credentials are a ticking time bomb & how to eliminate them ✅ Best practices for securing NHIs using Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP) as a guiding principle of identity management For 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.

Lalit Choda (Mr NHI), founder of the Non-Human Identity Management Group, joins Nauman Mustafa for an episode of Access Granted by Britive, where they explore how and why Non-Human Identities have become a significant security risk and what organizations can do to address them. Key discussion topics include: What’s considered an NHI? Examples include API keys, service accounts, automations, and more. How static credentials, secrets sprawl, and stale accounts create vulnerabilities and increase the attack surface. Practical steps for organizations, including scanning repos for hard-coded credentials, cycling tokens, and creating a full NHI inventory. The importance of Zero Standing Privileges (ZSP) and just-in-time (JIT) access to securing NHIs without impeding developer agility.
