Implementing Strategic Non-Human Identity Management for Sensitive Data Protection
Are your organization's secrets safe? How comprehensive is your strategy for securing your Non-Human Identities (NHIs) and their secrets? Businesses must aim to eliminate data leaks and security breaches by incorporating NHI and Secrets management as a core part of their cybersecurity strategy.
Understanding Non-Human Identities (NHIs) and Their Secrets
NHIs are the machine identities used in cybersecurity. They are akin to the passports of your cyber tourists - machine identities that consist of a secret (key) and permissions provided by the destination server. These identities need protection just as much as human identities do, if not more. The focus has to shift from merely guarding against external threats to navigating the Non-Human Identities management.
