The Invisible Workforce: Understanding Non-Human Identities

SummaryIn this episode of Secured by Design, we discuss the growing prevalence of non-human identities (NHIs) in organisations, which outnumber human identities significantly. We highlight the security risks associated with NHIs, including their lack of oversight and the potential for exploitation by attackers. The conversation emphasises the need for organisations to adopt a modern playbook for managing NHIs, especially in light of the increasing integration of AI technologies. We also outline the steps necessary for effective NHI governance, including discovery, classification, and monitoring, to mitigate risks and protect sensitive data.Chapters00:00 The Rise of Non-Human Identities05:13 The Security Blind Spot of NHIs09:54 The Business Impact of NHI Compromises#Non-Human Identities #NHI #Cybersecurity #Identity Management #Digital Security #AI Risks  #NHIGovernance #ZeroTrustLet’s Stay Connected📧 Email: [email protected]🔗 LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/kssantosh
