About the Event

For attackers, unprotected machine identities are another entry point to your organization. For security teams the centralised management of machine identities is an opportunity leverage zero trust frameworks, based on the principle that no entity inside or outside the network perimeter is trusted by default. Machine identities use certificates, secrets, API keys, Cloud Access Keys, and other credentials to authenticate and authorize machines to access resources and services. As such they are unique identifiers distinguishing software code, applications, virtual machines or even physical IoT devices from others on a network. Their proper management is therefore increasingly necessary to prevent attacks, and offers opportunities for security teams to take effective steps in protecting their organizations.
