At CyberArk's Workload Identity Day Zero event in Atlanta, held prior to KubeCon 2025, discussions centered around challenges and advancements in managing non-human identities (NHIs) within modern infrastructures. Speakers emphasized the need for improved workload identity systems, as existing methods often rely on overprivileged, long-lived API keys and create complexity in increasingly multi-cloud environments. Highlighted were the efforts of companies like Uber and Block to adopt SPIFFE/SPIRE-based identity fabrics, enabling scalable, short-lived identity attestations that enhance security and governance for workloads and AI agents. The event underscored the necessity of transitioning from ad hoc identity solutions to standardized, automated, and secure identity management practices to securely scale applications and platforms, while also addressing the emerging challenges posed by agentic AI. Attendees agreed on the importance of gaining insight into current workload inventories and machine identities to mitigate risks like credential leaks and to build robust NHI governance.
