Title of the Talk :
Taming the Identity Sprawl: Mapping and Securing Cloud & SaaS Trust Graphs

Abstract of the Talk:
Modern enterprises run on a sprawling mesh of cloud accounts, SaaS applications, service identities, and user-installed integrations. What begins as a handful of accounts quickly evolves into thousands of hidden trust links—cross-account roles, OAuth apps, webhooks, and machine identities—that no one team fully sees or governs. This keynote explores how identity sprawl emerges, why it forms hubs and clusters in practice, and how mapping the “trust graph” of cloud and SaaS systems reveals both critical choke points and unseen risks. Attendees will learn strategies to bring order to this complexity: building visibility, governing high-degree hubs, and securing the long tail of peer-to-peer connections—turning identity sprawl from a liability into a managed fabric of trust.
