It was a huge honour and privilege to share opening remarks, to kick-off the historic, first of it’s kind NHI Global Summit at the iconic Nasdaq Marketsite venue, in Times Square, NY on Feb 27th 2025.
After introducing #MrNHI and our NHI Mgmt Group and welcoming everyone to the event, I shared insights on what to expect during the day and explained why this is the hardest risk you will probably tackle in your career, given the very weak controls around NHIs and that it impacts all your IT processes and teams.
I cover “Why Now“, due to Hyper Fragmentation, with Multi-Cloud, On-Prem, SaaS, Microservices, Containerisation, GenAI we have a huge Secrets Sprawl problem, NHIs are easy to discover, Breaches occurring on a regular basis. I also share that this is not just a external Cyber threat, but a huge Internal threat also.
Finally I ask the audience 3 questions :
– how many are very concerned about NHI risks?
– how many know how to fully address NHI risks?
– how many are actively pursuing a NHI program currently?
After opening remarks, I then go onto host a panel discussion
– “NHI Stats That Will Blow Your Human Mind”
Hope you enjoy the opening remarks from what was truly a game changing and historic event for the NHI industry, with hundreds of attendees, amazing agenda and great guest speakers – the feedback so far from the event has been overwhelming.
Together let’s help organisations tackle probably the hardest IT & Identity challenge in the industry.
