Can AI manage cloud security effectively?

This article argues that integrating AI with strategic Non-Human Identity (NHI) management—covering machine identities and secrets—can significantly strengthen cloud security by improving automated threat detection, visibility, compliance, scalability, and cost efficiency across multi-cloud and hybrid environments. It emphasizes AI-driven discovery, classification, monitoring, and remediation of NHI permissions and usage patterns, alongside automation for secrets rotation and lifecycle controls, positioning these capabilities as foundational for meeting standards such as ISO 27001 and SOC 2 and for streamlining governance across security and R&D teams.
