AI Agents Outnumber Your Employees 45:1: The Non-Human Identity Crisis Nobody Is Governing

In a typical 2026 enterprise with 5,000 human employees, the identity directory contains 50,000–250,000 non-human identities — and AI agents are the fastest-growing category. 78% of organizations have no formal AI identity policies, even as agents gain admin-level access to customer data, financial tools, and production systems.
