Exclusive Events: November 11 & 12
Workload Identity Day Zero
November 12
Come and join the first ever Workload Identity Day Zero, co-located with KubeCon + CloudNativeCon North America! This single-track event will showcase thinking from the leaders of this rapidly growing space. It will bring together platform engineers, cloud security architects and CTOs to exchange ideas and insights on how to solve identity problems and zero trust security.
Bonus! SPIFFE & SPIRE In Practice Training - November 11
If the Day Zero isn’t quite enough, get expert, hands-on SPIFFE and SPIRE training from the creators of the machine identity category, and inventors of cert-manager. Accelerate your learning and leave with a working knowledge of this emerging technology.
What to expect at these unique events:
Identity as the new perimeter
Learn why identity holds the key to safeguarding your workloads from attacks, leakages and outages.
Understand identity challenges
Uncover the unique factors of increasing workload identity complexity in cloud-native environments and explore how to transform security moving forward.
Meet the community
Meet the leaders shaping workload identity management, exchange notes and to cap it all off, stick around for a happy hour, where you can relax and reflect on a day filled with insights, intrigue and innovation.
Upskill, enhance and advance your SPIFFE & SPIRE skills in just one day!
November 11 | During our highly sought-after “SPIFFE & SPIRE in Practice” training, you’ll learn how to implement secure workload identity management, reduce secrets sprawl, take control of overprivileged workloads and implement a zero-trust networking model.

Back to the future: Reflections on 20 years of workload identity
Contrary to popular belief, the concept of workload identity is not a new one. In fact, its origins can be traced back over more than 20 years of computing history! So, why all the commotion, and why now? Join Evan on a journey through the last quarter century of computer network security - we'll reflect on the role of trust in computing, and the evolution of the workload identity concept, to gain learnings from the past and a glimpse into the future of this foundationally critical technology.Evan Gilman
