A study from Cybersecurity Ventures predicts that interconnected devices will surpass 75 billion globally by 2025. This massive surge underscores the necessity for robust Non-Human Identity management (NHI). If security measures aren’t integrated early, organizations may struggle to protect their networks from malicious activities.
Attackers don’t break in anymore, they login with unmanaged NHIs and AI Agents, according to Entro, developers of an enterprise security platform for AI agents and NHIs.
A forward-thinking strategy for NHI management revolves around smart secrets vaults. These intelligent security solutions automate the life cycle management of machine identities, from discovery and classification to monitoring and remediation. Unlike traditional point solutions, which may offer limited scope, smart secrets vaults provide comprehensive insights into ownership, permissions, usage patterns, and possible vulnerabilities.
