Beyond Human Identity: Tackling the Machine Identity Security Challenge

6:30pm -9:00pm GMT | London, UK

Event Overview

As enterprises accelerate their cloud-first strategies and transition from traditional data centres, managing identity has become more complex than ever. While human identity programs are well-established, machine identities—access tokens, certificates, secrets—are growing at an exponential rate, often unmanaged and vulnerable. This rapid expansion is introducing new security challenges, with many organisations struggling to track, govern, and secure their machine identity footprint.

Mismanaged machine identities have been linked to security incidents and outages, yet many security teams lack the visibility and controls needed to mitigate these risks. As cloud services, AI-driven automation, and the rise of agentic AI increase machine-to-machine interactions, organisations must rethink their approach to identity governance before vulnerabilities lead to larger breaches.

How can security teams build a robust machine identity program that aligns with compliance, governance, and operational resilience? What frameworks and controls should be in place to mitigate risk before incidents occur?

The growing importance of machine identities and why security programs must evolve beyond human identity governance.
Common pitfalls in managing machine identities, from lack of visibility to compliance challenges.
How cloud-first strategies amplify identity risks and what security teams can do to maintain control.
Best practices for building a machine identity framework, including compliance considerations and proactive governance.
The intersection of machine identity with post-quantum readiness and agentic AI risks.
