Why Should We Manage Non-Human Identities and Secrets?
Imagine a bustling international airport with countless travelers moving in every direction. Now, consider these travelers as your non-human identities (NHIs), each carrying a unique passport (the Secret). The airport, in this case, represents your cloud environment. To ensure a secure, smooth journey for every passenger, would you not need an efficient, vigilant immigration system? A system that not only verifies the identities and their credentials but also tracks their movements, audits their activities, and flags any suspicious behavior.
Managing Non-Human Identities (NHIs) and their secrets is akin to this comprehensive oversight of travelers in an airport. It is the strategic responsibility of cybersecurity professionals or Chief Information Security Officers (CISOs) within a business to ensure that the NHIs don't compromise the safety and integrity of the cloud environment.
