Workload identities are a powerful way to enable modern systems, services, and applications to interact with one another, even across different clouds. Although workload identities are technically non-human, they involve a crucial human element: knowing how to securely configure and monitor them.
In this session, Eric Woodruff, Chief Identity Architect at Semperis, and Thomas Naunheim, Cyber Security Architect, glueckkanja AG, explore the types of workload identities and credential options for integrating your workloads with Microsoft Entra ID.
Discover how to configure policies and secure delegation for workload owners while minimizing friction for developers. We’ll also discuss the potential surface area for risk involving third-party SaaS applications and examine how you can use Microsoft Defender XDR to track the security posture and lifecycle of workload identities, conduct app inventory, and perform advanced threat hunting.
You’ll leave with a spellbook filled with applicable, real-world knowledge.
