Machine identities, service accounts, secrets, and now AI agents already outnumber human employees in most enterprises, and the gap widens every quarter. Most security teams cannot say how many non-human identities exist, who owns them, or what they can reach. That blind spot, not a shortage of tooling, is where breaches start.
This panel brings together an independent analyst and One Identity practitioners to examine how AI agents and non-human identities are changing workforce identity models, privilege management, and governance, and what to do about it now.
Machine identities get created and never cleaned up, accumulating as orphaned, over-permissioned accounts. Credentials get hardcoded and rarely rotated, so one leaked key can open a path to critical systems. And IAM built around job titles and static roles has no equivalent for software that requests and escalates its own access in milliseconds, while approvals still run on a human calendar. Agentic AI doesn't create these problems. It scales them.
The fix starts with discovery: inventory every non-human identity, assigning a human owner to each. Then extend the same discipline already applied to people: least privilege, defined lifecycle, regular certification, revocation in minutes rather than quarters. Treat privileged machine access as a first-class PAM problem: vault secrets, rotate credentials, replace standing privilege with just-in-time access. The controls that govern human identity are the right controls for machines. They just have to be applied before agentic AI closes the window to do it by hand.
And non-human identity is the leading edge of a larger shift. Identity and Access Management is at an inflection point, where AI-driven machine identities, decentralized trust models built on blockchain, and the coming cryptographic disruption of quantum computing all reshape how organizations think about workforce identity, authorization, and governance. Agents and NHIs are the pressure teams feel first. Getting those controls right now is what prepares a program for everything behind them.
Nitish Deshpande, Senior Analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts, frames the independent analyst's view of how AI agents and non-human identities are reshaping workforce identity models, and where current IAM programs fall short.
Gihan Munasinghe, CTO at One Identity, Randy Menon, CPMO at One Identity, and Rob Kraczek, Field Strategist, bring the practitioner perspective: how One Identity customers are discovering, governing, and securing machine and agent identities today, and what a realistic first-90-days plan looks like.
