Sovereign Identities for Your Cloud Native Architecture... Alexander Schwartz & Sebastian Łaskawiec

This talk explores the integration of sovereign identities within cloud-native architectures using Keycloak, presented by Alexander Schwartz from IBM and Sebastian Łaskawiec from Defense Unicorns. The speakers discuss how identities connect applications, data, and infrastructure while ensuring security. They highlight Keycloak's capabilities in managing both human and non-human identities through OpenID Connect and SAML, as well as its ability to broker identities with external providers.
