NHI & AI Identity Summit : Secure by Design

About this episode
AI agents are moving from experimentation into real enterprise environments. As they reason, act, delegate and interact with systems at machine speed, identity and security controls need to be built into the development lifecycle — not added after deployment.In this session from the NHI & AI Identity Summit at Identiverse 2026 (IDV 2026), identity and cybersecurity leaders explore how to secure AI agents by design, from development and deployment through discovery, authorization, monitoring and ongoing governance.The discussion looks at rogue agent incidents, delegation chains, agent discovery, external AI agents, policy controls and the growing convergence between workforce, customer and Non-Human Identities.Speakers:Jesse Minor — Identity Security Expert, KPMGDavid Chan — Director of IAM, USCHenrique Teixeira — SVP of Strategy, SaviyntShashwat Sehgal — Founder & CEO, PO SecurityWhat You’ll Learn:• Why identity and security controls need to be built into the AI agent development lifecycle• How agent autonomy and delegation change traditional identity risk• Why agent discovery and inventory are foundational controls• How to manage internal, external and third-party AI agents• How policy, authorization, monitoring and managed environments can reduce agent risk• Why organizations need to prepare for the convergence of workforce, customer and agentic identitiesChapters:00:00–05:27 — Secure by Design: Why AI Agent Security Starts Early05:27–11:23 — Responding to Rogue AI Agent Incidents11:23–16:42 — Delegation, Agent Identity & New Attack Paths16:42–21:57 — Building Identity Controls into Agent Deployment21:57–24:58 — Discovery: Finding the Agents in Your Environment24:58–30:52 — Governing External & Third-Party AI Agents30:52–33:49 — High-Risk Use Cases & Impersonation33:49–38:06 — The Convergence of Workforce, Customer & Agentic IdentityThe NHI & AI Identity Summit at IDV 2026 brings together identity, IAM, cybersecurity and AI security leaders to explore how Non-Human Identities and agentic AI are reshaping enterprise security.Subscribe for more sessions from the NHI & AI Identity Summit at IDV 2026.#NHI #NonHumanIdentity #AgenticAI #AIIdentity #IdentitySecurity #IAM #Cybersecurity #IDV2026
