Aembit is the Workload Identity and Access Management platform that secures access between workloads across clouds, SaaS, and data centers. With Aembit’s identity control plane, DevSecOps can fully automate secretless, policy-based, and Zero Trust workload access. For more information, visit www.aembit.io and follow us on LinkedIn.

As AI tools and technologies like large language models (LLMs) become integral to business operations, securing their access is critical to safeguarding sensitive data and maintaining control. 

These AI-driven models are embedded across industries, making decisions, managing infrastructure, and handling customer interactions autonomously. But with this increasing reliance on AI comes the challenge of protecting these non-human entities from unauthorized access.

In this webinar, we’ll explore how to secure AI workloads, focusing on managing non-human identities that interact with LLMs. 

You’ll learn:
✔️ How policy-based controls can secure AI access without complicating operations.
Strategies to eliminate scattered credentials, reducing the risk of breaches in AI systems.
✔️ How to simplify AI authentication without embedding credentials in code.
✔️ Ways to improve auditability and gain visibility into AI workload access.
✔️ Techniques for discovering and securing AI usage across distributed applications.
✔️ Plus a Q&A!

Join us to learn how to protect your AI environments while seamless and resilient access management, ensuring your organization can harness the full potential of LLMs and other modern programs safely and securely.

The AI Identity Crisis: How to Secure Access for LLMs and Other Emerging Non-Human Identities

Join us for a candid conversation with Mario Duarte, Aembit’s new CISO and former head of security at Snowflake. Mario is now turning his focus to one of cybersecurity’s toughest and most overlooked challenges: securing non-human identities (NHIs) across applications, services, and workloads.

In this live discussion, we’ll go behind the curtain and talk about the real issues security teams are facing when it comes to managing access between workloads and sensitive resources. Mario will break down why relying on static credentials is a ticking time bomb and share practical, real-world NHI security solutions for complex and distributed enterprise environments.

What we’ll cover:
- Why static credentials and secrets management vaults are no longer enough.
- How to ensure your workloads authenticate securely to the right resources.
- What parallels can be drawn between human IAM (think username/password) and non-human IAM.
- How to confidently embrace innovative solutions from emerging companies without compromising security.
- Plus, your questions answered!

This is your chance to hear directly from a veteran CISO with a passion for identity management and experience on the frontlines of enterprise security.

A CISO’s Perspective to Securing Non-Human Identities

Join us for a deep dive into the findings of Aembit's 2024 Non-Human Identity Security Report, addressing a critical issue that’s gaining attention in security circles. We’ll unpack the survey data to reveal where organizations like yours may be struggling with their NHI efforts and what steps you can take to bridge the gaps. 

While securing user identities is well established for DevSecOps teams, managing non-human identities – across workloads like apps, scripts, and services – requires different strategies and technologies and a heightened level of awareness. That may be why some teams are struggling to keep up with these evolving challenges and complexities, leaving critical gaps in your security posture.

The 2024 Non-Human Identity Security Report from Aembit, informed by real responses from 110 of your industry peers, uncovers surprising trends and potential weak spots. Whether you're confident in your NHI approach or looking to refine it, this webinar will draw on meaningful data and offer no-nonsense advice you can use to protect a new generation of threats.

Here’s what we’ll cover:
- The surprising percentage of organizations still using outdated methods for non-human IAM.
- Key factors contributing to low confidence in current non-human identity practices.
- The biggest risks associated with these identities that organizations may be overlooking.
- Steps to adopt secretless access methods for safer workload interactions and strategies for managing them across multi-cloud environments.
- Plus, our experts answer your questions!

Survey Says: The Current State of Non-Human Identity Security

Incidents involving the compromise of software credentials are becoming increasingly common. These credentials often fall into the wrong hands because they are touched by numerous people and are freely shared across various teams and services. This widespread access increases the risk of exposure and misuse. Aembit Co-Founder and CTO Kevin Sapp walks you through the scenarios that create this security challenge.

How and Why Software Workload Credentials Get Compromised

From the why of securing workload-to-workload connections to the how, Aembit Co-Founder and CEO David Goldschlag walks you through everything you need to know about workload identity and access management. His guided illustration draws parallels to user IAM struggles and eventual maturity, shares current approaches for securing workload access, their pros and cons, and how enterprises can evolve to a more holistic solution that makes life better -- and easier -- for developer, DevOps and security teams alike.

The Fundamentals of Workload Identity and Access Management (WIAM)

User identity and access management (IAM) is a standard security measure in most businesses, but with the explosion of software workloads in today's cloud and automated environments, non-human identities can't be ignored. 

In this video, Aembit's Kevin Sapp breaks down the key differences between User IAM and Workload IAM. Learn why securing non-human identities is critical for modern organizations and how to adapt your tech stack for optimal security. This is required viewing for DevOps and security teams looking to stay ahead in identity management.

Are developers supposed to be security engineers also? Can your CISO really say that there is no secret or credential leakage? Will Open-Source software cost you your job?

Join Aembit’s Head of Technical Product marketing, Ashur Kanoon, as he shares what he’s learned talking to developers and DevOps folks who are ready to tackle the threat vector that they know they’ve been ignoring.

In this presentation, you’ll learn:
- How your current use of secrets in code is affecting your organization and your developers
- The options available, their limitations, and how free software is very expensive
- Aembit’s approach to simplifying secretless deployments while enhancing security
- And much more
