Appearances:



Day 2 @ 15:30

Non-human identities: What does enterprise architecture look like in the automated age?

  • Assess the rise in use cases for NHIs and the new security concerns that are raised by this.
  • Review the validity of zero trust models for NHIs to prevent compromised assets becoming a threat.
  • Explore what the future looks like for NHI usage across different industries and sectors.
  • Where are the best use cases that demonstrate NHIs enhancing existing enterprise architecture systems?
  • How will sentient NHIs, such as agentic AI operators, increase security risks pertaining to user authentication and verification?
