Blueprint for Machine and Agent Identity

Providing developers and operators with timely and secure access to production servers is critical. Yet legacy approaches like jump hosts and static SSH keys, create standing privilege, developer friction and compliance gaps. In this session, we’ll explore how modern identity-native approaches can deliver just-in-time SSH and sudo access to virtual machines across cloud and on-prem servers and databases.

Attendees will learn how to eliminate standing access, tie every session to your organization’s IdP, and deliver a seamless developer experience - all without relying on the complexity or maintenance of vaults, static credentials or bastions. Walk away with practical strategies for securing privileged access while keeping teams productive.

Eliminate Static Credentials: Just-in-Time SSH/Sudo Access to Virtual Machines

Every major breach headline today shares a common flaw—authentication that trusts too much. Attackers don’t need advanced exploits, they simply log in using social engineering, phishing sites, or real-time relays that manipulate human behavior. Employees feel protected by MFA apps and codes, yet those same tools are being turned against them. The weak point isn’t technology failure—it’s misplaced trust. MFA methods that depend on user judgment, shared secrets, or remote approvals are now the open door into the enterprise. In this session, we’ll expose why the tools once considered secure have become the attacker’s favorite weapon.

What Is Causing MFA and Auth Apps to be Compromised?

Zero Trust started as a way to protect human users logging into applications. Over the past decade, it has expanded to workloads, cloud services, and machine identities. Now, with the rise of agentic AI, enterprises must confront a new challenge: how do you apply identity-driven security to autonomous systems that act, decide, and interact on their own?

In this session, Chris Owen (dotNext Europe) and Apurva Dave (Aembit) trace the evolution of Zero Trust through the lens of identity. From workforce IAM to PAM, from service accounts to non-human identities, and now to AI agents, they’ll map the journey — and the pitfalls. They’ll show how legacy approaches break down, and how organizations can evolve toward policy-driven, workload-centric, AI-ready identity models.

Attendees Will Learn:

– How Zero Trust has evolved—from securing humans and workforce IAM to workloads, APIs, service accounts, and now autonomous AI agents.

– Real-world patterns and pitfalls organizations face when adapting Zero Trust to non-human identities.

– A practical framework for “AI-ready Identity & Access” and how policies can govern machine-to-machine and agent-to-agent access.

Zero Trust and Identity: Evolving from Humans to AI

As AI agents grow more autonomous, from initiating workflows, accessing sensitive data, to making decisions in real time, they challenge the core assumptions of traditional identity and access governance. In this session, Miguel Furtado explores how AI shifts the perimeter from identity to intent, and why modern IAM strategies must evolve to continuously evaluate agent behavior, authorization scope, and data access patterns. We’ll discuss what defines a true agentic AI, how intent-aware governance can fill today’s visibility and control gaps, and what practical steps can be taken to secure non-human identities and AI agents today. If identity is the control plane of the modern enterprise, intent is its next policy layer.

Rethinking IAM with Intent:  Identity Governance in the Age of AI

Standing access is a time bomb—and yet, in most orgs, it’s still the default. Developers are over-permissioned just to avoid ticket delays. Access reviews live in spreadsheets. Security teams are buried in manual cleanup and audit prep. And the patchwork of point tools meant to help? They rarely scale—or align with how your teams actually work. This session is for the teams who are asking: Is what we’re doing even working anymore? We’ll walk through a practical, field-tested approach to implementing Just-in-Time (JIT) access—starting with what you already have, proving value with one team, and scaling without creating friction.

From Tickets to Trust: How to Roll Out Just-in-Time Access without Slowing Down Engineers

Credential theft, malicious insiders, orphaned accounts—identity-based attacks have become the leading cause of breaches, while regulatory pressures demand continuous proof of security controls.

The Cybersecurity Fast Track: 5 IGA Essentials to Reduce Risk

As AI adoption accelerates across organizations, traditional security approaches focused solely on license management and non-human identities are missing the bigger picture. This webinar explores a comprehensive framework for AI security that recognizes the full spectrum of AI identities in your environment, from AI users and builders to AI agents, and provides actionable strategies for discovery, protection, and defense.
We'll examine how AI security can be looked at through an identity security lens and demonstrate how runtime intelligence reveals dramatically more AI usage than static configuration approaches. Attendees will learn practical methodologies for inventorying their complete AI footprint, identifying risky access patterns, and implementing high-fidelity detection capabilities that enable faster SOC response.

AI Users, Builders, and Agents: Securing the Next Generation of Identities

By March 2026, public TLS certificate lifespans will halve—and eventually shrink to just 47 days by 2029—driving urgent change in how organizations manage certificate renewals, and ultimately, digital trust. TLS certificates are the machine identities that underpin secure communication on the internet. Manual certificate tracking at the scale demanded by 47-day renewals simply won’t be feasible. And without automation, shortened lifecycles increase the risk of outages and compliance failures. Now is the time to implement a modern, automated certificate management strategy to safeguard trust, ensure compliance, and keep pace with the internet’s accelerating demands. You'll leave the session with practical guidance on how to:
- Modernize your certificate lifecycle management with scalable automation
- Align risk communication across technical teams, leadership, and the board
- Budget for the transition and articulate the cost of inaction
- Prepare your infrastructure for continuous 47-day renewal cycles, essential for public PKI and increasingly valuable for internal systems

From Chaos to Control: Automating Machine Identity Security Before the 47-Day Certificate Deadline

Salt Typhoon proved that attackers are exploiting identity blind spots in the network layer to bypass controls and move laterally. This session explores how traditional PAM and NAC tools leave routers, switches, and firewalls exposed, and why identity-first security must extend beyond IT systems. We’ll break down the attack path, highlight key lessons from Salt Typhoon, and show how applying Zero Trust principles at the network layer can stop similar breaches before they start.

Zero Trust Falls Short Without Network Identity: Lessons from Salt Typhoon

A single stolen password can bring your business to its knees — unless you can recover in hours, not days. The first 72 hours after a credential breach determine whether you contain the incident or face a full-scale crisis. Regulatory mandates, cyber insurance requirements, and customer trust all demand rapid recovery, yet many enterprises still rely on password management processes that take days. This session introduces a vendor-neutral, identity-first framework for 72-hour recovery, covering detection, containment, and large-scale access restoration while ensuring compliance. You’ll leave with a clear, adaptable roadmap to strengthen resilience, minimize downtime, and align identity practices with today’s threats. Identify the compliance, insurance, and business pressures driving the 72-hour identity recovery window. Master the critical steps for rapid detection, containment, and large-scale credential restoration. Avoid the hidden process and technology gaps that turn hours into days. Measure your organization’s recovery readiness against industry best practices — and know how to close the gap.
