Key Takeaways From The 2024 ESG Report On Non-Human Identity (NHI) Management
Security Boulevard, Thursday, October 3rd, 2024
For years, Identity and Access Management (IAM) has centered on human identities, built on the assumption that people are the weakest link in the cybersecurity chain. However, the digital landscape has shifted dramatically.
Today, the average person interacts with 30 to 50 applications daily, while behind the scenes, machines, applications, cloud services and automated processes are powering nearly every business function. As a result, the number of non-human identities (NHIs) has far exceeded that of human identities.
While managing human identities is still important, the growing volume and complexity of non-human identities make their management even more critical. Ensuring they are properly secured and monitored is now a top priority for organizations looking to protect their systems and data in an increasingly automated world.
