OWASP tackles AI security with new NHI Top 10: What you need to know

This article examines OWASP’s new Non‑Human Identities (NHI) Top 10, emphasizing how machine identities (service accounts, API keys, CI/CD tokens) in AI-driven, microservice, and ephemeral environments expand the attack surface and demand standardized governance, least privilege, monitoring, and attestation. Experts spotlight common weaknesses (hardcoded credentials, excessive permissions, poor logging/observability), note the list is a strong but non-exhaustive starting point, and call for future focus on workload identities, emerging AI risks, and growing compliance requirements.
