What is the Significance of Non-Human Identities in Cybersecurity?
In the contemporary realm of cybersecurity, the focus is usually on human identities, but an equally critical and often overlooked domain is Non-Human Identities (NHIs). NHIs are machine identities forming a cornerstone of cybersecurity.

Essentially, NHI and Secrets Management serves as a robust fortress, securing both the identities and their access credentials.
