Is Managing Non-Human Identities the Key to Achieving Robust Cloud-Native Security?
Where humans and machines square off, intent on breaching each other's defenses. However, an important facet often goes unnoticed - Non-Human Identities (NHIs). NHIs are machine identities, especially in the context of cloud-native security.
Understanding the Strategic Importance of NHI
NHIs are crafted by uniting a 'Secret' (an encrypted key or token that serves as a unique identifier) and the permissions granted to that Secret by a destination server. By taking care of both the identity (the 'tourist') and their access credentials (the 'passport'), we ensure the security of their activities.
