Non-human identities

Imagine you're a security or IT leader, and your organization's digital landscape is like a collection of Labubu blind boxes. Each box represents a new AI agent or automated workflow. You know there's a non-human identity (NHI) or machine learning model in there, and it's intended to do something beneficial, like accelerate the US Department of…

AI-powered agents are changing the way we live, work, and interact with technology. A recent report found that 82% of companies plan to integrate AI agents in 1-3 years, whether it’s assisting with customer service, automating processes, or even making decisions on our behalf. However, as AI becomes more autonomous, it introduces new security…

While agentic artificial intelligence (AI) brings new opportunities for efficiency and innovation, it also introduces a new challenge in cybersecurity: securing non-human AI identities. Just as human identity governance is critical for compliance and security, end-to-end identity security for AI agents is no longer optional — it's essential to…

While organizations have traditionally focused on securing human users, a new challenge has emerged that demands immediate attention: non-human identities (NHIs). Service accounts, API keys, tokens, and machine-to-machine connections have become prime targets for attackers. These identities operate silently in the background of your organization,…

Organizations often treat human and non-human identities (NHIs) as separate security challenges. This siloed approach made sense in traditional data centers. However, the rapid adoption of cloud services and SaaS applications has fundamentally changed how identities interact and how to secure them. Managing human and machine identities separately…

Non-human identities (NHI), including machine identities, service accounts, API keys, and automation tools, play a critical role in modern cloud environments and enterprise applications. Yet, the proliferation of secrets—like hardcoded credentials, tokens, and certificates—introduces security risks that can be exploited if not properly managed. As…
