Non-Human Identity Management (NHIM) is the practice of managing and securing identities and accounts that are not tied to a human but tied to a machine, system, operation, or automation. In this world of increasing automation, managing these identities plays a critical role in securing your organization against Cyber Attacks.
Almost 50 % of organizations have experienced breaches or attacks related to non-human identities. |
Key Challenges in Non-Human Identity Management
Visibility: Organizations have less visibility on the lifecycle of non-human identities and that’s why poor management of those identities
Privilege Access: Non-human identities have privileged access assigned to them and this access associated with them is not reviewed effectively
Excessive Access: Sometimes more access than required is granted to non-human identities without even realizing it.
Organizations need to deploy dedicated practices to manage non-human identities if they want to secure their organization against external threats. Currently, there is a poor termination/disable process for non-human identities. If in this automated world, we have to secure organization we have to secure non-human identities along with human identities and have to implement tools that can manage non-human identities effectively.
