Addressing the Growing Threat of Non-Human Identities with PKI

Learn how to manage the escalating security risks posed by non-human identities (NHIs) in modern hybrid-cloud environments through this 27-minute conference talk from HashiCorp. Discover why NHIs outnumber human identities by a staggering 50:1 ratio and understand the critical security vulnerabilities created by "zombie" NHIs that persist long after their creators have left organizations, maintaining unchecked access to critical systems. Explore the growing challenges as organizations move toward increasingly automated systems and AI-driven operations, which will only exacerbate the NHI security problem. Master how HashiCorp Vault's Public Key Infrastructure (PKI) capabilities can address these threats through automated certificate rotation and comprehensive privilege management systems. Gain practical insights into implementing effective controls to mitigate the risks of compromised non-human identities and establish robust oversight mechanisms for automated system access in your organization's infrastructure.
