Does Your Cybersecurity Strategy Include Proactive Defense?
Threats don't discriminate - they affect corporations and small businesses alike. So, where does an effective cybersecurity strategy begin? For organizations operating in the cloud, the answer lies in proactive defense and Non-Human Identities management.
Unpacking Non-Human Identities and Their Importance in Cybersecurity
Non-Human Identities (NHIs) refer to machine identities used within the realm of cybersecurity. These are typically composed of a 'Secret,' such as an encrypted key, token, or password, coupled with the permissions assigned by a server. Understanding and managing these NHIs and their secrets is crucial in securing both the identities ('the tourist') and their access credentials ('the passport'). This also includes monitoring these NHIs' behaviors within the system for any potential anomalies.
