Quick Summary: Most organizations can't answer basic questions about their non-human identities — what credentials exist, what they can access, or who's responsible for them. Oleria, an AI-native identity security & governance platform, builds a continuous, complete NHI inventory across every environment so every service account, API key, and OAuth app has a named owner and a known access scope.
You probably know how many employees you have. You have no idea how many service accounts, API keys, OAuth apps, and IAM roles can reach your data tonight - or who, if anyone, is responsible for them. Oleria closes that gap in one inventory, in under an hour, across every connected app.
Modern enterprises run on machines talking to machines. Service accounts move data from Workday to Snowflake. OAuth apps connect Slack to Salesforce. IAM roles let EC2 instances read S3. Every one of these is an identity. Every one holds credentials. Most outlive the people who created them.
The numbers are not subtle. Industry research puts the NHI-to-human ratio between 17:1 and 100:1. CSA's 2024 NHI survey called service-account management the single most challenging identity problem. GitGuardian found 29 million new hardcoded secrets exposed on public GitHub in 2025 alone, and 64% of secrets exposed in 2022 are still valid in 2026. The attack surface is not theoretical.
What makes this stubborn is that no single tool sees the whole picture. CSPM finds cloud misconfigurations. PAM tracks human admins. IGA covers IGA scope. Each is correct in its lane and blind outside it. The team that needs the answer - "show me every NHI, what it can reach, who owns it" - sits between these categories with nothing built for them. Discovery alone is a list. Discovery integrated with ownership, review, and lifecycle is an operating model.
Oleria delivers complete Non-Human Identity Inventory and Ownership across cloud, SaaS, IdP, on-prem, and AI platforms — all in one continuously refreshed graph.

Service accounts in AWS look nothing like service principals in Azure, look nothing like API tokens in Snowflake. Oleria normalizes them into one graph so your filters, queries, and reviews work the same way everywhere.
Oleria shows what each NHI has actually done - which resources, which consumers, which scopes were exercised. That's what you act on.
Most platforms just demand you fill in an owner field. Oleria infers candidates from creator metadata, recent operator activity, and team structure - cutting the time to close ownership gaps dramatically.
You connect Entra, AWS, GitHub, Snowflake, M365 - five connectors, read-only OAuth and IAM roles where applicable. Within an hour, the graph populates. You see 4,231 NHIs. Of those, 387 have no owner. 612 are dormant. 41 hold admin scope and were last used in 2023. The cloud team takes the AWS slice. The data team takes the Snowflake slice. The identity team takes the OAuth and Entra slices. Each team starts from a query that's already defined, sorted by their priority. Six weeks later, unowned NHI count is 12. The dormant queue is recurring weekly hygiene at 30 minutes of operator time.

Service accounts, OAuth apps, API keys, service principals, IAM roles, personal access tokens, integration users, certificates, managed identities, federated workload identities. Coverage expands per connected app. The full list per app lives in your Oleria connector docs. The short version: if it can authenticate without a human, we discover it.
Connectors poll on a schedule (typically every 1-4 hours per app, configurable). New NHIs appear in inventory the same day they are created - usually in a couple of hours.
Yes, via Oleria custom connector SDK. The SDK lets you bring deeper signals from internal apps into the same graph.
CSPM finds cloud misconfigurations and inventories cloud entitlements. Oleria's NHI inventory spans cloud, SaaS, IdPs, on-prem, and AI platforms - and frames each NHI as an identity with an owner, lifecycle, and review cadence, not a config object. Different lens, often complementary.
NHIs are the attack surface that doesn't have MFA. Every recent identity breach you've heard of - Midnight Blizzard, Okta, CircleCI, NYT GitHub token, Snowflake UNC5537, JetBrains, HuggingFace - started with a non-human identity that was overprivileged, dormant, or unowned. The risk profile of "NHIs are someone else's problem" is the breach.
