Explore the critical intersection between human and non-human identities in cybersecurity through this 20-minute conference talk from the NHI Summit 2025. Discover how attackers exploit the human element behind keys, tokens, and AI agents by chaining human and non-human identities in real-world security breaches. Learn why AI should be treated as just another identity within your environment and understand the fundamental shift needed from static trust models to dynamic identity behavior monitoring. Gain practical insights from Ian Ahl, SVP of Threat Research at Permiso Security, on securing the complex relationships between identities rather than focusing solely on individual identities themselves. Examine real-world attack scenarios that demonstrate how non-human identities become vulnerable through human misconfiguration and oversight, and develop strategies for implementing more robust identity security frameworks in cloud and AI environments.
