How certain can we be of NHI reliability

This article discusses the importance of reliable Non-Human Identities (NHIs) — machine and application credentials — and recommends lifecycle management practices (discovery, classification, continuous monitoring, automated rotation/deprovisioning, dynamic permissions) to reduce risk, support compliance, and integrate security into DevOps and cloud workflows. It emphasizes advanced analytics, role-based access, least privilege, and automation as key strategies to improve visibility and control over NHIs and to bridge gaps between security and R&D teams.
