Most organizations now grapple with explosive growth in privileged non-human identities (NHIs)—from OS-scoped service accounts and SaaS tokens to RPA bots and agentic AI. Recent incidents show attackers bypassing humans entirely by abusing OAuth and app-to-app integrations to siphon data and cloud keys, underscoring how NHI compromise fuels supply-chain style breaches. This session reframes NHI security around practical lifecycle management and hard-won field lessons. We’ll cut through hype on AI agents to the real work: securing emerging protocols like MCP, tightening SaaS-to-SaaS grants, and balancing priorities between the emerging and legacy pain that still drives risk. Attendees leave with actionable architectures, governance patterns, and controls that reduce NHI blast radius in imperfect, real-world conditions.

This quarterly report highlights the latest developments in AI security and reveals the economic, political, and social forces shaping what’s coming next.

Learn why deploying AI Agents safely matters—drawing lessons from the Slammer worm era to guide today's responsible, controlled tech adoption.
