The Authorization Fabric decides whether a specific principal is authorized to perform a precise operation on a particular resource and whether the resource permits this access.The granularity of this approach is vital in today’s threat landscape, requiring organizations to shift their focus to a comprehensive, system-wide authorization framework. This shift parallels the principles of microservices but applies them to the realm of access control. Rather than depending on a single point of control, there is a need for a network proxy that acts as a bridge between trust and authorization. Join us on a journey towards a future powered by micro authorizations, where precision, adaptability, and contextual awareness define access control. Explore how micro authorizations can address contemporary security challenges and facilitate the adoption of the Zero Trust model.

Micro Authorizations: Enabling Zero Trust in PAM

Some cloud identity providers have been at the center of high-profile breaches as modern threat actors have been heavily targeting the identity layer of cloud.

In this session, learn how threat actors target the identity control plane and how to secure your IdP to better protect your environment.

Observations from Real-life Attacks & Measures to Protect Your Environment

Recent security breaches, exemplified by incidents such as Cloudflare's, serve as a stark reminder of the inherent security in unmanaged Non-Human Identities (NHIs), such as service accounts, service principals, tokens, secrets and keys. These breaches underscore the complex operational hurdles even the most seasoned security teams struggle to overcome when it comes to governing and securing NHIs. While enterprises have rolled out programs to fortify the security of human identities, most lack a strategy and solution for NHIs.
