Dr. Seymour Keys Introduces Credentialitis, the Secrets Ailment Plaguing Security and DevOps
Dr. Seymour Keys (not a real doctor) has seen it all – hard-coded credentials, endless key rotations, and secrets buried in every corner of a pipeline. Doctors of identity security call it Credentialitis.
Here he traces the symptoms, the complications, and why untreated cases keep security and DevOps teams up at night. The good news? Like any condition, awareness is the first step toward recovery.
Watch him provide an intro into this modern ailment, then decide for yourself whether it’s time to schedule a check-up at https://aemb.it/Credentialitis.

[Demo] Splunk Direct Integration With Aembit via HTTP Event Collector
In this walkthrough, we show how Aembit’s new Splunk direct integration works using the HTTP Event Collector (HEC).
You’ll learn how to:
• Configure Splunk with your Aembit tenant and token.
• Push audit logs and other event types directly into Splunk.
• Build Splunk dashboards to track workloads, connections, and potential account compromises.
• Continue using S3 and Google Cloud bucket options if preferred
Aembit makes it simple to centralize workload identity and access data in your SIEM or SOAR while still providing a powerful built-in dashboard.

Zero Trust for Non-Human Identities: A Cloud-First Approach | NHIcon 2025
Cloud-first environments bring speed and scalability – but they also amplify the risks associated with non-human identities like service accounts, API keys, and workloads. In this keynote, Talha Tariq will demonstrate how applying zero-trust principles can address these challenges head-on. Drawing from HashiCorp’s security strategy, he’ll reveal practical approaches to automating secrets management, implementing just-in-time access, and curbing credential sprawl. Attendees will gain a clear roadmap to strengthen their security posture while maintaining the agility needed for modern innovation.

[Demo] GitLab Credential Lifecycle Management with Aembit Workload IAM
Tired of managing long lived GitLab personal access tokens (PATs) and over privileged service accounts? In this demo, we show how Aembit automates GitLab Credential Lifecycle Management – replacing static PATs with short lived, policy driven credentials that are injected just in time and rotated automatically.
What you’ll see in this video:
• The risks of long lived GitLab tokens and manual credential management.
• How Aembit reduces secrets proliferation, enforces least privilege, and eliminates manual rotations.
• A live demo of short lived credentials injected into GitLab workloads without exposing secrets.
• How administrators can configure policies, trust providers, and GitLab service accounts in Aembit.
• End-to-end credential lifecycle management that keeps your pipelines secure and compliant.

Who Owns Non-Human Identity? The Blurred Lines Between Security and DevOps
User identity has a clear owner in most organizations. Non-human identity? Not so much. In this quick breakdown, Aembit CTO Kevin Sapp explains why NHI ownership is still murky and complex — and why that friction between security and engineering might be the biggest opportunity yet for progress.

Secrets Are Not a Strategy: Why Workload Identity Needs a Better Way | Identiverse 2025
Secrets managers weren’t built for today’s scale, and credential rotation isn’t a viable strategy in our modern, multi-cloud infrastructure. In this lightning talk at Identiverse 2025 in Las Vegas, Andrew McCormick (ex-Starbucks, now Aembit) breaks down why it’s time to treat workloads like users, with federated identity and short-lived access – not thousands of static secrets.

How Aembit Secures Workload Access Across Microsoft, On-Prem, and Multi-Cloud Environments
This demo breaks down how Aembit delivers secure, credential-free workload access across Windows Server environments – whether they’re running on-prem, in Azure, or in another cloud like AWS. You’ll see how the Aembit Edge uses trust signals from Kerberos, Azure Entra, and AWS metadata to validate identity and enforce access policies.
We’ll also walk through a real-world scenario where a Windows Server in AWS calls Microsoft Graph using Microsoft WIFF and a short-lived OAuth token with no static secrets or manual provisioning required.

[Demo] How to Secure Database, CRM, and ETL Workloads
In this Aembit demo, we present a scenario in which a contractor is tasked with building a contact management tool that interacts with Snowflake and Salesforce. The developer operates within a Kubernetes environment but is never granted access to credentials. Instead, Aembit handles authentication and authorization through workload identity and policy-based controls. Every request is evaluated in real time, based on the identity of the Kubernetes pod, its geolocation, and time-of-day constraints.
The demo shows how Aembit injects short-lived tokens – including OAuth 2.0 and JWTs – without requiring the developer to manage secrets or integrate with vaults. Authorization is enforced through cryptographic workload attestation and conditional access policies, ensuring that only trusted workloads in approved environments can access sensitive resources. This approach decouples security from development and eliminates the risks associated with long-lived secrets and manual credential handling.
