Are Your Security Spendings Justified And Effective?
Security Boulevard, Thursday, May 22nd, 2025
Organizations must justify their security spend and ensure the effective use of their budget. With growing reliance on the cloud and increased utilization of Non-Human Identities (NHIs), the question arises: are we truly getting the most out of our security measures?
Exploring the Nuances of Non-Human Identities
NHIs, a cornerstone of modern cybersecurity, are machine identities created by combining a 'Secret' (an encrypted password, token, or key providing a unique identifier) and the permissions granted to that Secret by a destination server. Crucially, managing NHIs and their secrets is not just about securing the identities, but also about monitoring their behaviors. This involves addressing each lifecycle stage - from discovery and classification, through to threat detection and remediation.
