Service Accounts vs. Managed Identities: Real Exploits & Best Practices
About this talk
Service accounts are everywhere, but their overprivileged, multi-use, and often unmanaged nature makes them a security liability. Managed identities (and other “passwordless” NHIs) are considered a safer alternative, yet they come with their own set of vulnerabilities attackers can exploit.
Join this 30-minute webinar to learn from NHI security researchers:
The types and common pitfalls of service accounts.
How to convert service accounts into managed identities in Azure.
The downsides of managed identities – and a live demo of how attackers exploit them.
Best practices to avoid common misconfigurations.
*Bonus* Get a practical tool to map all managed identities in your Azure environment (IYKYK).
