Demystifying Non-Human Identities: A Foundational Guide to Workflow and Machine Identity Management

Demystifying Non-Human Identities: A Foundational Guide to Workflow and Machine Identity Management

Combined Session
Wednesday, May 07, 2025 11:00—11:20
Location: B07-08

Non-Human Identities (NHIs) - including machine accounts, service accounts, and automated workflows - are increasingly prevalent in today's digital landscape. While they boost efficiency, they also introduce often-overlooked security vulnerabilities. This session explores NHIs, using recent security breaches to highlight the risks of inadequate management.

Attendees will gain insights into the dangers of unmanaged NHIs, such as unauthorized access and privilege escalation. The session remains vendor-neutral, focusing on essential features of NHI management tools. Practical advice will be shared on how organizations can initiate effective NHI management, including strategies for risk assessment and implementation planning.

Participants will leave with a foundational understanding of NHIs, the risks they pose, and actionable steps to mitigate them. This session is ideal for attendees aiming to enhance their organization's security without delving too deep into technical complexities.
