Securing AI Agents: How to Stop Credential Leaks and Protect Non‑Human Identities with Idan Gour
About this episode
The episode discusses securing AI agents and non-human identities in enterprises, focusing on credential leakage and the challenges posed by generative AI tools.
Bridging the AI Security Gap—Inside the Rise of Non‑Human Identities In this episode of Cyber Sentries from CyberProof, host John Richards sits down with Idan Gour, co-founder and president of Astrix Security, to unpack one of today’s fastest-emerging challenges: securing AI agents and non-human identities (NHIs) in the modern enterprise.
