Solving the Non-Human Identity Crisis: Securing Your Organization's Invisible Workforce

Event details:

The accelerating AI revolution has made non-human identities (NHIs) one of the largest — and most business-critical — unmanaged security risks for organizations worldwide. Non-human identities now outnumber human users by orders of magnitude in large organizations, driving an alarming 84% surge in NHI-related security incidents just in the last year.

Yet, traditional security approaches and conventional IAM solutions leave major gaps and blind spots around your organization's most privileged machine identities, service accounts, and API keys.

Join S&P and Oleria as we break down the risks and define a future-ready approach to protecting this new frontier in cybersecurity — including proven best practices for NHI access governance and lifecycle management and modern tech solutions that deliver NHI visibility and control.

Key takeaways:

NHI visibility: Learn how you can move from fragmented identity visibility to complete and centralized clarity and control over all NHIs (and all human identities) across your IdPs.

Lifecycle management: Discover how you can eliminate the growing burden of manually managing identities across different identity providers — and start to streamline NHI lifecycle management, from creation and credential rotation to retirement.

Access governance & compliance: Unlike human identities with established security controls, NHIs create unique compliance challenges through their lack of MFA and session controls. Learn how you can streamline and automate governance tasks, including managing privileged access and removing dormant accounts.

Business continuity & risk reduction: The cost of recovering from NHI-related breaches is substantial — but the business costs of disrupted operations from a breach are even greater. See how you can shift from error-prone manual inventory processes toward a more automated and centralized approach to NHI management, so you can protect against security exposure and avoid the damage of disruptive downtime.
