How smart are NHIs in managing complex security environments

This article explains Non-Human Identities (NHIs) — machine identities such as keys, tokens, and passwords — and advocates for holistic secrets and NHI management to secure cloud and hybrid environments. It covers lifecycle stages (discovery, classification, detection, remediation), cross-industry challenges, benefits (reduced risk, compliance, efficiency, visibility, cost savings), implementation guidance (modern NHI platforms, monitoring, IAM-to-IM transition), and the need for collaboration and AI-driven analytics to improve identity security.
