The CISO Imperative: Quantifying NHI & Agentic AI Risk for the Board | NHI & AI Identity Summit | IDV 2026Non-Human Identity (NHI) and agentic AI are creating a new identity and cybersecurity risk landscape — but how do CISOs explain that risk to the board, quantify the exposure, and secure the investment needed to act?In this session from the NHI & AI Identity Summit at Identiverse 2026 (IDV 2026), experienced security leaders explore how organizations can translate NHI and agentic AI risk into board-level business conversations around risk, accountability, investment and governance.The discussion covers how CISOs can quantify NHI risk, communicate with boards and executives, build an identity strategy for agentic AI, establish governance and accountability, and move from simply discussing the problem to taking practical action.Speakers:Ross Sherman — Sr. Director Agentic AI, SailPointRenee Guttmann — Founder, CISOHiveTroy Wilkinson — Founder, Kyber TechnologyWhat You’ll Learn:• How to explain NHI and agentic AI risk to the board• How to quantify identity risk and translate it into business impact• Why visibility into AI agents and Non-Human Identities is becoming critical• How CISOs can build the business case for investment• Why organizations need to act before agentic AI becomes deeply embedded• How identity teams can establish governance, accountability and guardrails• Why discovery and inventory of AI agents and NHIs are now essential• How to build an identity control plane for an increasingly autonomous environment• Who should own AI governance across the organizationChapters:00:00–01:45 — The CISO Imperative01:45–04:10 — Meet the Panel04:10–07:40 — Why NHI & Agentic AI Risk Is Hard to Explain07:40–10:47 — Quantifying NHI Risk for the Board10:47–14:07 — Making the Business Case for AI Identity Security14:07–18:41 — Why Waiting Costs More Than Acting18:41–21:45 — Getting Identity Teams Started21:45–25:55 — Building the Identity Foundation25:55–28:12 — Who Owns AI?28:12–30:40 — AI Governance as a Shared Responsibility30:40–31:13 — Stop Admiring the ProblemThe NHI & AI Identity Summit at IDV 2026 brings together identity, IAM, cybersecurity and AI security leaders to examine how Non-Human Identities and agentic AI are reshaping enterprise security.If you work in IAM, identity security, identity governance, NHI management, machine identity, AI security, cybersecurity, risk management or CISO leadership, this session provides a practical perspective on preparing the board and the organization for the next phase of identity risk.Subscribe for more sessions from the NHI & AI Identity Summit at IDV 2026.#NHI #NonHumanIdentity #AgenticAI #AIIdentity #IdentitySecurity #IAM #Cybersecurity #AIsecurity #IDV2026 #Identiverse2026
