Managing Non-Human Identities

Non-Human Identities Management

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 cyberattacks.

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 is

  
  

• 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.
