Non-Human Identity Leadership Compass Session

Non-Human Identity Leadership Compass Session

Track
Wednesday, May 20, 2026 11:00—13:05
Location: A 01

Non-Human Identities (NHIs) now form the core of modern digital ecosystems, driving automation, microservices, and cloud-native operations. Yet most organizations lack cohesive strategies to manage these short-lived, highly privileged entities.

This session explores the scale, complexity, and security risks posed by unmanaged machine identities and outlines a strategic governance approach that integrates lifecycle automation, policy enforcement, and real-time detection to strengthen enterprise security and operational agility.

Nitish Deshpande, Research Analyst at KuppingerCole Analysts, will share the realities of today’s NHI landscape, covering the limitations of legacy IAM and PAM tools and the critical need for purpose-built NHI governance. He will also highlight the top 5 steps necessary for securing NHIs and discuss the results from the latest KuppingerCole Leadership Compass on Non-Human Identity Management.

This session is designed for IT leaders and IAM specialists seeking practical insight into the current NHI landscape.
