Prevent Cloud Leaks: What Steps Should You Take Now?
Security Boulevard, Friday, December 20th, 2024
Are your cloud security measures stringent enough to prevent a data leak? With the increasing reliance on cloud services, cloud security has become a significant concern for organizations.
But, frequently there is a blind spot in security measures: Non-Human Identities (NHI). Understanding and managing NHIs could be the missing puzzle piece in your data leaks prevention strategy.
Why NHIs Are a Security Priority
An unaddressed concern in cloud security is the management of NHIs. These are machine identities created by combining a Secret, such as an encrypted password, and the permissions granted to that Secret by a destination server. NHIs, although not human, move freely within your system and are just as likely, if not more so, to cause a data breach. The efficient management of these NHIs and their associated secrets is thereby crucial to strengthen your organization's cloud security strategy.
