In your enterprise right now, non-human identities (NHIs) outnumber human users by an average of 82 to 1. Service accounts, API tokens, OAuth apps, and bot credentials are proliferating faster than security teams can track them.
NHIs are even harder to manage than human identities for several reasons:
1. Lack of MFA: NHIs rely on static credentials – API keys, secrets, tokens, certificates – that typically do not have secondary authentication factors.
2. 24/7 Operation and Stealthy Behavior: Distinguishing legitimate automated behavior from malicious use is not straightforward.
3. No Built-in Lifecycle or Owner: Unlike employees, these accounts don't officially "leave" so they're often forgotten.
As NHIs accumulate, the attack surface grows leaving weaknesses that hackers can easily exploit.
