Service Accounts In Active Directory: These OG NHIs Could Be Your Weakest Link
Tenable, Tuesday, September 23rd, 2025
While non-human identities (NHIs) in cloud and SaaS operations may be getting lots of attention right now, securing your Active Directory service accounts can go a long way in reducing risk.
Here are three steps you can take right now.
1. Expect sprawl: Agentic AI and cloud native development accelerate non-human identity (NHI) growth.
2. Prioritize AD service accounts: The OG NHIs still sit on critical attack paths.
3. Fix three fast wins: Kerberoastable accounts, risky delegation and MSA mistakes.
