Surge in Non-Human Identities Raises Security Concerns

The rise of non-human identities (NHIs) has led to significant security challenges for organizations, with NHIs now outnumbering human accounts by factors of 10x to 50x in many cases. These machine identities, which include service accounts, APIs, and cloud workloads, are often poorly understood and inadequately governed. As NHIs proliferate, organizations must enhance their strategies for classification, security, and monitoring.
