How an Industrial Company Optimized NHIs in their Azure Environment - Seguridad Mania.com - España y América Latina

In this session, we’ll delve into how an industrial company tackled the challenge of securing non-human identities (NHIs) in their Azure environment. As the organization transitioned to cloud-first operations, it quickly faced the complexity of managing a growing number of NHIs. From APIs to service accounts and automated systems, these NHIs were critical to the company's operations, but their proliferation led to serious security and compliance risks. Using advanced technologies, the company was able to uncover and classify all NHIs across their Azure landscape, enabling a clear understanding of ownership and access control. Key issues tackled in the session include: • Discovering and managing NHIs in a complex Azure environment • Automating the remediation of high-risk identities with excessive privileges • Ensuring continuous compliance with industry regulations • Achieving significant reductions in security incidents and operational inefficiencies By the end of the session, attendees will gain valuable insights on how to integrate NHI security into their own cloud environments and move from reactive to proactive management of these critical assets. The discussion will feature expert commentary on overcoming common challenges and implementing best practices to ensure secure, scalable, and compliant NHI management.
