What capabilities do NHIs bring to cybersecurity

Executive Summary: This blog post explains Non-Human Identities (NHIs) — machine identities composed of secrets, keys, and tokens — and argues that comprehensive lifecycle management (discovery, classification, rotation, decommissioning), centralized visibility, role-based access, and AI-assisted automation are essential to reduce risk and improve cloud security across industries such as finance, healthcare, travel, and DevOps. It promotes integrating NHI management into Zero Trust and secrets management strategies to proactively detect anomalies and maintain compliance, but it does not describe a specific security incident or threat.
