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?

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

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

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

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.

Why Machine Identities Are Your Next Compliance Risk

IAM Program owners must deal with the fact that identities are the most dispersed set of artifacts to manage and the most exploitable attack vector to secure. But fragmented identity systems lead to siloed identity sprawl, making it hard to reign in daily operations. Join Axonius to learn how aggregated asset data and intelligence across the entire identity fabric enables unified lifecycle actions, governance, posture, and hygiene operations in one place.

Take Action With Consolidated Identity Operations

There is an ever-widening gap between the threats to identities and access control and our ability to defend against those threats. Bad actors know it, and they exploit gaps in traditional, outdated security controls. Without a new identity security paradigm to meet new challenges, defense will fall behind and risk will increase. This new paradigm must protect a full spectrum of identities, break silos with unified discovery, policy creation and management across environments, grant privileges based upon context and risk, include ITDR and pre and post authentication projection. Learn how organizations build comprehensive security programs to meet today’s threats.

Securing the Future: The New Identity Security Paradigm for Cyber Leaders

Attackers are targeting identity like never before, and many companies are still relying on tools that can’t keep up. With AI powered threats, exploding SaaS use, and supply chain risks, defenses are under serious strain. In this fast moving 45 minute session, we’ll cut through the noise to show how identity attacks are evolving and what leading CISOs are doing about it. You’ll get real world lessons, a look at why legacy strategies fall short, and practical ways to help you strengthen identity security before an attacker makes the choice for you.

Modern Identity Threats: What CISOs Need to Know and Act On in 2025

Identity attacks have officially reached the SMB market, bringing new challenges for businesses that often lack the knowledge, resources, or scale to effectively defend against them. As a result, Managed Services Providers (MSPs) have stepped in to bridge the gap. However, securing identity across hundreds or even thousands of companies comes with its own set of complexities. Learn how MSPs are tackling this evolving threat—and what it takes to safeguard identities at scale.

IAM isn’t just for Enterprises – How MSPs are Helping SMBs Secure the #1 Attack Vector

Agentic AI is emerging as the next big shift in identity security, but what’s hype and what’s real? Today’s tools still rely on manual work and standards-based integrations, leaving gaps that attackers exploit and IT teams struggle to manage. This is where AI-driven solutions step in to automate workflows, secure access to any app, and adapt to threats in real time. But where can it add the most value, and what should IT and security leaders be watching for? In this session, we’ll break it down in clear, practical terms—what’s possible today, what’s coming next, and how to prepare for the future of identity security.

Agentic AI for Identity: Smarter, Faster, and More Secure

We enforce MFA for human users because we know passwords alone aren’t enough. So why are workloads—APIs, services, containers—still authenticating with static secrets that rarely change? Attackers know this gap exists, and they exploit it constantly.

David Goldschlag, CEO of Aembit, introduces the next step in Zero Trust: MFA for machines.

Zero Trust shouldn’t stop at human users. It’s time to hold workloads to the same security standards, and we now have the technology to do it.

MFA for Machines: Bringing Zero Trust to Workload and Non-Human Identity

During the past 10 years I’ve participated in many security incidents, received confidential readouts of other company incidents, collaborated with top well-known incident response firms as well as government agencies. It’s with these experiences and learnings I’ve applied an overlay of Zero Trust to the problem. Having also delivered Zero Trust strategies at two globally-recognized enterprises we can speak to the reality of the problem and solution.

In 2022 I presented how my Enterprise Security teams delivered Zero Trust at Adobe and Cisco. So, let’s talk about why we prioritized the initiative;a forward thinking strategy that really defended against the attacks we were seeing. During this session we’ll discuss some high-profile security incidents from the past year, reviewing the themes, kill chain, and how or where a Zero Trust strategy might help prevent the attack, slow them down, or reduce risk.

As an example, many high profile hacks all started similarly. Related to an employee or contractor credential theft (or purchase) and an MFA fatigue or bypass. These are NOT highly sophisticated attacks and there are strategies that can save your bacon.

Today's Attacks Deserve Better. Stop using Yesterday's Strategies

Identity is no longer just about humans. With non-human identities (NHIs) - service accounts, API keys, and bots - outnumbering users, enterprises face an existential identity crisis. Traditional IAM can’t keep up with identity sprawl, new attack vectors, and machine-driven access.
