GitGuardian's NHI Governance now adds privilege context to non-human identity risk management. The update introduces an 'Admin badge' that flags identities with admin-level rights across AWS IAM, Microsoft Entra, and Okta, and an 'Overprivileged Identity' policy that detects permission drift. Incident severity is automatically escalated when a leaked secret or policy breach affects an admin identity, helping security teams prioritize by actual blast radius rather than treating all leaked credentials equally. The feature is available now to NHI Governance customers.
