Security Boulevard, Wednesday, January 7th, 2026

Are You Prepared to Leverage the Full Potential of Non-Human Identities in Complex Networks?

Organizations are increasingly reliant on complex networks, with machine identities playing a critical role in maintaining security and operational integrity. But how capable are these Non-Human Identities (NHIs) when navigating such intricate environments?
