Who Gave That Script Admin Rights? Tackling the Hidden Risks of Non-Human Identities

As organizations accelerate automation and cloud adoption, the number of non-human identities, service accounts, bots, APIs, scripts, and machine workloads has exploded, often outpacing human users by 10 to 1. Yet, these identities are frequently unmanaged, over-permissioned, and invisible to traditional IAM programs.

In this session, we’ll explore:

  • Why non-human identities are one of the fastest-growing identity threats

  • The common pitfalls organizations face when trying to manage them

  • Real-world examples of misconfigurations and what they cost

  • Practical steps to gain visibility, enforce least privilege, and integrate non-human identities into your governance framework

  • How to partner with security, dev, and cloud teams for long-term success 

Whether you're just beginning or deep in your IAM journey, this talk will help shift from reactive clean-up to proactive control over your machine identity sprawl.

Breaking the Illusion: Leading Through Security and Innovation in a Disruptive Era

Breaking the Illusion: Leading Through Security and Innovation in a Disruptive Era

Organizations often face a paradox: they claim to prioritize innovation to stay competitive yet resist change due to security concerns. This "Innovation-Protection Paradox" creates a dangerous comfort zone, where superficial efforts mask a deeper failure to achieve meaningful transformation.

This session explores how security leaders can break free from the illusion of progress and foster a culture of responsible, impactful innovation. It addresses the challenges of balancing growth and security in a rapidly evolving landscape, with actionable strategies to align innovation with resilience.

Key themes include:

  • The Innovation-Protection Paradox: How risk aversion stifles transformative change while creating an illusion of progress.

  • Building Resilience: Proactive approaches to risk, transparent decision-making, and resilient security practices that protect organizations and leaders from regulatory liabilities.

  • Meeting New Regulatory Demands: Strategies for aligning innovation with compliance, including the SEC's new rules, without sacrificing growth.

  • Beyond Innovation Theater: Moving past superficial changes to create meaningful, scalable transformation.

  • Creating the Right Roadmap: A framework for aligning security and innovation, embracing risk responsibly, and driving long-term value creation.

This session is a rallying cry for leaders to embrace security as a strategic enabler rather than a barrier to progress. By fostering a culture of transparency, calculated risk-taking, and resilience, security leaders can safeguard their organizations while enabling disruptive innovation that reshapes industries.
