W hile these identities enable innovation and operational scale\, they also introduce new security risks that many enterprises are struggling to manag e effectively. Long-lived credentials\, unmanaged service accounts\, expos ed API keys\, excessive privileged access\, and fragmented secrets managem ent practices are becoming major attack vectors across modern hybrid envir onments.\n\nThis session will provide a practitioner-focused perspective o n how large enterprises are adapting their security programs to address th ese evolving challenges. Drawing from real-world experiences across health care\, financial services\, and large-scale cloud transformation initiativ es\, the discussion will focus on practical lessons learned from implement ing modern privileged access\, secrets management\, and Zero Trust securit y strategies.\n\nKey discussion areas include:\n- The rise of non-human id entities and AI-driven operational access\n- Real-world challenges with se crets sprawl\, API exposure\, and privileged access management\n- Why trad itional access models are struggling in highly automated environments\n- P ractical Zero Trust and Just-In-Time access approaches\n- Emerging securit y considerations for AI-enabled enterprise systems\n- Lessons learned from large-scale cybersecurity transformation programs\n\nThe goal of the sess ion is to bridge the gap between security theory and operational reality b y discussing practical implementation challenges\, architectural decisions \, and enterprise security modernization strategies that organizations are actively navigating today.\n\nSpeaker:\n\nAnupam Nandan is a Senior Manag er in Cybersecurity with over 16 years of experience leading large-scale i dentity and access management transformation programs for Fortune 500 orga nizations across healthcare\, financial services\, energy\, and utilities sectors. His work focuses on Zero Trust architectures\, privileged access management\, secrets management\, cloud security\, and non-human identity protection across modern hybrid enterprise environments.
