The Evolution to Highly Reliable, Highly Performant Workload IAM | 7 Minutes on ITSPmagazine | A Short Brand Innovation Story From RSA Conference 2024 | An Aembit Story with Apurva Davé

Aembit is the first Workload Identity and Access Management Platform. It discovers, enforces, and audits workload access. By using native identities and short-lived credentials, we eliminate the need for secrets scanning and credential rotation. We let your teams focus on building your software, without worrying about sharing API keys or misusing vaults. An Aembit access policy enforces authorized access in three steps: First, Aembit cryptographically verifies workload identity, and validates access rights. This works for the most complex environments like an AWS serverless app accessing Snowflake or Salesforce. Second, Aembit implements workload Zero Trust by adding conditional access. For example, Aembit can check CrowdStrike or Wiz posture assessment before authorizing access. Finally, Aembit issues access credentials. Aembit automatically injects short-lived credentials into requests with no burdensome code changes required by the dev team.The benefits of using Aembit include significant time savings and reduced complexity. This allows engineering teams to move faster in building software and APIs that help companies automate more and build great products. From a security standpoint, Aembit also mitigates a growing attack surface (workload credential compromise) by allowing companies to go secretless using short-lived dynamic access credentials, as opposed to long lived tokens. There's no more credential reuse across multiple workloads. They can also enable Zero Trust conditional access for workload access. If the workload isn't being actively managed by their cloud security tool, it shouldn't get access. And with Aembit, they now have a highly compliant automated system of record to keep track of every workload requesting access, which is huge for audit and compliance requirements.Learn more about Aembit: https://itspm.ag/aembit-1oqNote: This story contains promotional content. Learn more.Guest: Apurva Davé, CMO at Aembit [@aembit_io]On LinkedIn | https://www.linkedin.com/in/apurvadave/On Twitter | https://twitter.com/ApurvaBDaveResourcesLearn more and catch more stories from Aembit: https://www.itspmagazine.com/directory/aembitView all of our RSA Conference Coverage: https://www.itspmagazine.com/rsa-conference-usa-2024-rsac-san-francisco-usa-cybersecurity-event-infosec-conference-coverageLearn more about 7 Minutes on ITSPmagazine Short Brand Story Podcasts: https://www.itspmagazine.com/purchase-programsNewsletter Archive: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/tune-into-the-latest-podcasts-7109347022809309184/Business Newsletter Signup: https://www.itspmagazine.com/itspmagazine-business-updates-sign-upAre you interested in telling your story?https://www.itspmagazine.com/telling-your-story Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
