How Can Organizations Improve Their Security with Non-Human Identities?
Imagine where the number of digital identities far exceeds that of human identities? This situation is a reality where Non-Human Identities (NHIs) are becoming increasingly prevalent. These machine identities, which are critical for various cybersecurity processes, require robust management to ensure the security and efficiency of cloud environments.
Understanding Non-Human Identities
NHIs operate by using 'Secrets'-encrypted passwords, tokens, or keys-to identify and authenticate themselves across systems. This combination not only serves as a unique identifier but also dictates the level of access each identity has. In a way, these secrets act like digital passports granting access across digital borders, with permissions acting as visas. Managing these identities and their secrets is pivotal for securing both the digital identities and their access credentials.
