The biggest NHI risk is usually not that an identity exists. It is that the identity keeps broad access all the time. Service accounts, workloads and automation often end up with standing privilege because it is faster in the moment and easier than revisiting access later. This session focuses on how to change that pattern. We will cover how teams can move from static permissions and shared secrets toward tighter scoping, short-lived credentials and just-in-time access for non-human identities. The audience will leave with a practical set of guardrails that reduce blast radius while still supporting modern engineering workflows.
