Danny Tran & Liam Byrne

AI is speeding up how vulnerabilities are found and exploited, so API owners must move faster too. Danny (NAB) and Liam (Tetrate) share NAB's journey from Kubernetes NGINX ingress to Istio and Tetrate Service Bridge in a regulated environment. They'll cover mTLS, SPIFFE workload identity, zero-trust enforcement between services, centralised policies across clusters, and how TSB uses AI to rapidly respond to new vulnerabilities. Attendees will leave knowing how to sequence a migration off ingress-based routing without a big-bang cutover, how workload identity replaces network-location trust and what that changes for API owners, how to apply policies fleet-wide in minutes rather than app by app, and where AI-assisted vulnerability response helps versus where a human still belongs in the loop.
