Akeyless

Static secrets - passwords, API keys, tokens - are relics of the past. In AI-powered environments, they are more than just inconvenient - they are dangerous. Hardcoded credentials and endless key rotations create sprawling attack surfaces and leave organizations clinging to outdated security practices that can’t survive the speed and scale of AI workloads.

The alternative is radical yet inevitable: go Secretless. By eliminating static secrets and replacing them with dynamic, just-in-time access tied to machine identities, organizations can finally close security gaps that hackers exploit daily. Secretless authentication enforces Zero Trust and Least Privilege in ways that static secrets never could, giving AI workloads security that matches their velocity.

Martin Kuppinger, Co-Founder & Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole will explain why static credentials are a dead end. He will challenge conventional wisdom around secrets management, spotlight the growing risks of credential sprawl, and map out how the industry is moving toward identity-first architectures where Secretless is not optional but mandatory.

Oded Hareven, CEO & Co-Founder at Akeyless will show how enterprises are already making this leap. He will present how Akeyless’ SecretlessAI solution dismantles the dependency on static secrets, enabling organizations to cut risk, simplify operations, and secure AI workloads without slowing down innovation. Oded will share real-world insights from enterprises that dared to go Secretless.

As digital ecosystems grow more complex, the management of digital secrets has evolved from a niche IT concern into a critical pillar of enterprise security. This webinar will explore the expansive market of Enterprise Secrets Management—from traditional credentials like passwords and certificates to a broader array of secrets such as API keys, tokens, SSH keys, and encryption keys. Attendees will gain insights into the challenges of secrets sprawl, hardcoded credentials, and the urgent need for robust lifecycle management, all within the context of the Leadership Compass framework.

Building on the insights provided by the upcoming KuppingerCole Analysts Leadership Compass, the session will examine the convergence of human and non-human identity management. We will delve into how modern IT environments—from cloud-native applications and DevOps pipelines to IoT and IIoT deployments—demand centralized governance, seamless integration, and automated secrets lifecycle management. The discussion will highlight why addressing these diverse needs is not only a security imperative but also a strategic business enabler.

Martin Kuppinger, Principal Analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts, will share his expert analysis on the market dynamics and vendor capabilities as outlined in the Leadership Compass. He will focus on the evaluation criteria for enterprise-grade solutions, discuss emerging trends such as non-human identity management and quantum-safe encryption, and provide strategic recommendations to help organizations strengthen their secrets management strategies.
