This report highlights risks from non-human identities (NHIs) and autonomous AI agents having persistent, broadly privileged access due to poor visibility, shadow AI use, and operational pressure to prioritize speed over governance; it presents survey data showing identity governance gaps and recommends steps such as inventorying NHIs, adopting just-in-time access, and treating machine identities with the same review rigor as human accounts.
