Securing machine identities and SSH keys: Deploying Zero Trust to close gaps that attackers exploit

Attendees will learn:

  • Why unmanaged machine identities and SSH keys present a growing blind spot for attackers to exploit.
  • How new regulatory pressures and zero trust strategies demand stronger controls over privileged machine-to-machine access.
  • Practical approaches to gaining visibility, automating key management, and reducing operational risk.

Identity security is no longer just about human users. In today's enterprise, machines, applications, and automated processes outnumber people—and they all require secure authentication. Yet, for many organizations, SSH keys and machine identities remain unmanaged, unmonitored, and highly vulnerable. Attackers know this, and they actively target these weak points to bypass controls and escalate privileges.

In this SC webcast, Host Adrian Sanabria and experts from SSH Communications Security will explore why securing machine identities has become an urgent priority. We'll examine the risks of SSH key sprawl, how regulatory mandates and zero trust initiatives are reshaping identity practices, and what steps organizations can take to lock down this critical layer of access. Attendees will walk away with clear guidance on strengthening identity security beyond the human layer—closing gaps that could otherwise open the door to costly breaches.
