The Non‑Human Workforce: Governing Bots, APIs, and AI Agents in Business‑Critical Systems

Non‑human identities are now the largest “workforce” inside many enterprises—service accounts, APIs, bots, and AI agents quietly running critical processes in ERP, finance, and supply chain. They don’t get hired, onboarded, or offboarded, but they hold powerful access and can move real money and data. In this episode of The SafePodcast, SafePaaS CEO Adil Khan and Director of Client Services Vrinder Randhawa join host Jamie Teilmann to unpack how we got here, why traditional identity governance is no longer enough, and what it takes to put real guardrails around your non‑human workforce. You’ll hear practical steps for discovery, ownership, policy, and monitoring, plus what a realistic 90‑day plan looks like—and how to get ahead of auditors, regulators, and the next incident.

The SaaS Breach Blueprint: Exposing Weak Links in the 2025 Supply Chain

Five months after the 2025 SaaS supply chain breach exposed over a billion records, the fallout is still shaking up how organizations approach risk and identity in 2026. Regulators are probing deeper, insurers are rewriting cyber coverage rules, and CISOs are racing to close the same third-party gaps that sparked last year’s headlines. What started as a convenience-driven oversight—trusted app connections and long-lived tokens quietly stacking risk—has become a turning point for the industry. The conversation has shifted from “What happened?” to “How do we stop it from happening again?” When the breach first hit, coverage was nonstop: vendor statements, expert hot takes, and endless speculation. We waited for the dust to settle—and now we have the technical details and real lessons. In this episode, we dig into how SaaS supply chains became the latest attack frontier—and what leaders must do to build smarter, more resilient identity governance in 2026.
