Non-Human Identities (NHIs) — machine identities using secrets like tokens, keys, and passwords — are a growing security challenge, especially in cloud environments. Effective NHI management requires a full lifecycle approach covering discovery, classification, threat detection, and remediation. Key strategies include automating secrets rotation, establishing real-time monitoring with behavioral baselines, integrating AI for anomaly detection, and aligning security and R&D teams. A well-defined incident response plan and continuous adaptation to emerging threats are also essential components of a robust NHI security posture.
