Title of the Talk :
Invisible and Invincible: Secrets That Manage Themselves

Abstract of Talk:
In today’s AI-driven, cloud-native world, secrets are no longer just static credentials. They have become dynamic assets that demand continuous protection, adaptability, and intelligence. As organizations scale their infrastructure and integrate autonomous systems, the traditional approach of managing secrets through manual processes or static vaults is quickly becoming obsolete. This keynote explores the transition to self-managing secrets. These are systems that remain invisible to developers, resilient against attackers, and capable of automatic rotation, expiration, and regeneration based on context and policy. We will examine the shift from reactive security to proactive automation, highlight architectural patterns that support seamless rotation and least-privilege access, and discuss how AI, identity-aware infrastructure, and Zero Trust principles are coming together to make secrets both highly secure and virtually invisible
