Zero Trust and Non-Human Identity
Zero trust as an identity architecture, then the identities it has to cover: workloads, service accounts, cloud entitlements and AI agents, and the detection layer that watches all of them.
Architects and senior engineers designing access for cloud, workloads and AI agents, where the perimeter is gone and most identities are not people.
You can design identity-centric access policy, give workloads verifiable identities, govern cloud entitlements, and reason about agent identity and identity threat detection.
