Opening Remarks | Non-Human & Agentic AI Identity Summit @ Identiverse 2026

Lalit Choda — Founder & CEO of the Non-Human Identity Management Group and the leading NHI voice in the industry, known globally as Mr NHI — opens the Non-Human & Agentic AI Identity Summit at Identiverse 2026 with a session that sets the tone for the entire day.With 25 years of hands-on practitioner experience running global IAM, PAM, and NHI programs at major investment banks, Lalit founded the NHI Management Group in 2024 to educate and evangelise about the risks and challenges of non-human identities — including agentic AI agents. In this opening, he makes the case for why 2026 is a defining year for the space, how dramatically the NHI and agentic AI landscape has already shifted, and what security teams, CISOs, and practitioners need to be thinking about right now.What's covered in this video:- Why the NHI and agentic AI threat landscape has changed faster than most organisations have been able to respond- A full walkthrough of the summit agenda and what each panel session will explore- And yes — Mr NHI closes it out with a rapSummit Panel Sessions:01 — The AI Era: A Dramatic Shift for the NHI Landscape02 — The New NHI Risk Reality: When AI Agents Start Making Decisions03 — Where Traditional IAM Breaks: Rethinking Trust for Autonomous Identities04 — The CISO Imperative: Quantifying NHI & Agentic AI Risk for the Board05 — Secure by Design: Baking Identity Controls into the AI Agent Development Lifecycle06 — Governing AI: Identity Standards & Frameworks for Agentic AI07 — The Buyer's Dilemma: Evaluating the NHI & Agentic AI Security Market08 — The Next 24 Months: Predictions on Where NHI & Agentic AI Security Goes NextThe Non-Human Identity Management Group is the premier authority in NHI education, training, research, and advisory — home to the most comprehensive NHI knowledge center in the world.🌐 nhimg.org | nhi-training.org🔔 Subscribe for full panel sessions, expert interviews, and the latest in NHI and agentic AI security#NHI #NonHumanIdentity #AgenticAI #Identiverse2026 #Identiverse #IdentitySecurity #MrNHI #LalitChoda #CyberSecurity #IAM #PAM #AIAgents #AIIdentity #AISecurity #NHIManagementGroup #MachineIdentity #ServiceAccounts #SecretsManagement #ZeroTrust #CISO
