Tag: Workload Identity

Not all credentials are created equal. Compare API keys and JWTs across security, scalability, and fit for modern workload authentication.
MCP gives AI agents a common language for action—but also a new attack surface. Here’s how to model threats before they become incidents.
Zero trust has matured for human users, but most workloads are still running on static secrets. This primer covers the principles to fix that.
Static credentials were never built for cloud-native environments, and the gaps they leave behind are exactly what attackers count on.
When your team stores API keys in a vault and rotates them on a schedule, it feels like the access problem is handled.
Workload identity proves who a workload is. Workload access management controls what it can do. Learn why separating them is critical for zero trust.
Two in five SaaS platforms fail to distinguish human from nonhuman identities. Learn why the distinction matters and how to manage both securely.
Attestation-based identity verifies workloads using cryptographic environment evidence rather than stored secrets. Learn how it works across hardware and cloud.
AI agent identity breaks down when agents authenticate across OAuth, API keys and managed identities simultaneously. Learn why single-protocol solutions fail.
For every human identity your IAM program governs, there are roughly 82 machine identities operating outside it. Most of them authenticate with static credentials that were provisioned once and never reviewed.
