Great insights Lalit! The way NHIs are evolving with GenAI is really interesting, but like you pointed out, their security risks are a big concern. With breaches increasing, weak access controls around NHIs can turn into a serious issue for organizations. A zero-trust approach with just-in-time secrets seems like the right way forward. Thanks for highlighting this important topic!

Subject: Managing Non-Human Identity Threats in the Age of GenAI
I recently wrote an article on Managing Non-Human Identity Threats in the Age of GenAI as part of a new AI Cyber Magazine publication that was launched this week.
The coming together of Non-Human Identities used by GenAI systems like LLM models and AI agents is a very interesting development. In the article we describe what NHIs are, their challenges and risks and how they affect security as AI systems become more widespread.
In the article I focus on 3 key threats :
- Unauthorised Identity and Access Manipulation
- Adversarial Attached on AI Models
- Data Privacy and Security Risks
The future of AI-driven NHIs will undoubtedly transform industries and redefine the digital ecosystem but addressing their inherent security challenges is critical to their long-term success.
