In this episode of the AlchemistX Innovators Inside Podcast, Ian Bergman sits down with Danny Brickman, CEO and co-founder of Oasis Security, to explore the rapidly growing threat of non-human identities in enterprise systems.

As AI agents, machine workflows, and digital tools proliferate, companies are facing a new kind of cybersecurity challenge—one that traditional identity and access management systems were never built to handle. Danny draws from his background in elite Israeli cyber defense units and startup innovation to explain why non-human identities are multiplying, how they’re being exploited, and what organizations must do to secure them.

This episode is packed with insights on:

Why more than 80% of cyberattacks today are identity-based
How startups can outmaneuver legacy giants in fast-moving markets
The emotional and operational costs of failure in security
What "philosophical differentiation" means in cybersecurity innovation
Why trust, like in autonomous cars and AI tools, takes time—but is everything

Danny also reflects on the culture of innovation, the importance of failure, and what surfing taught him about leadership.

Whether you're a security leader, startup founder, or just trying to stay ahead of the curve, this conversation will shift how you think about identity in the AI era.
