Strategies For Managing Non-Human Identities
CIODIVE, Monday, May 12th, 2025
Since the emergence of Identity Governance and Administration over 20 years ago, identity management has only grown more complex. Adding to this complexity is the rapid explosion of machine identities
Statistics vary, but recent research suggests that non-human identities in the digital ecosystem outnumber human identities by as much as 20 to 1.
These non-human identities, including service accounts, bots and APIs are critical to the enterprise. They facilitate system access, automate tedious manual processes, and are foundational to how cloud infrastructure functions. However, if left unchecked, non-human identities can pose serious risks to organizations.
